About noon the day before the cx-

down to hard facts there is nothing
like good old iron to put color In
your cheeks and good sound, healthy
flesh on your bones. 1t Is also a
great nerve and stomach strengthener
and the best blood builder in the
world. The only trouble was that the
old forms of inorganic iron like tine
ture of iron, iron acetate, etc, often
ruined peoples teeth. upset their stonl-
achs and were not assimilated and
for these reasons they frequently did
more harm than good. But with the
discovery of the newer forms OF or
ganic iron all this has been overcome.
Nuxated Iron for example. Is pleasant
to take, does not injure the teeth and
is almost Immediately beneficial.
