SALEM SHOEMAKER
ENDORSES AIM
At Seventy Five Is Never
Troubled With Rheuma-
tism, Works Daily At
His Shop in Salem.
Gives Secret of How He
Banished Rheumatism.

id. Sears, for years and years
a shoemaker in Salem, Va, says
that in his opinion Acid Iron
Mineral is a medicine of great
value for treating rheumatism.
Mr.. Sears is now past seventy
five years of age yet he works
each day at his shop, feeling
much younger than his years, he
says.
81 suffered for a considerable
time with rheumatism" said Mr..
Sears in telling about his case.
"A salesman told me about Acid
Iron Mineral and l took two bot
ties using it just as directed on
the bottle and though that was
several years ago l haven't been
bothered with rheumatism since.
It knocked the rheumatics right
1out of my system and built me
up 50 well / haven't been attack
ed since those days away back
yonder."
REAL PROOF OF MERIT.
Old people with weakened
blood and faltering kidneys SCI
dom are permanently helped by
weak vegetable preparations and
a preparation containing alcohol
is as apt to harm as do good, for
alcohol has a bad effect upon the
kidneys which weakened by old
age need strength. E
This is why old people especi.
ally get such quick results with
this Acid Iron Mineral. 1t is a
mineral instead OF vegetable
preparation and so powerful the
reader probably has never used
anything like it. 1t is made
from ore dug from a mine down
in Mississippi containing medi.
cinal iron, compounded there
and shipped to the laboratories at
Roanoke, Va. Instead of being
a harmful iron tincture it is
highly concentrated, tested, non.
alcoholic and just a teaspoonful
in a glass of water makes a pow
erful dose. Three times a day
does the work. Just test it if
you have rheumatism, blood or
kidney trouble.

good druggists everywhere.

feature attraction at the Strand TINS
is screen version Of the stage play
b.. the same name which MISS
Clark was starred, and the last IN
which she appeared on the speaking

The story deals with Prunella,
beautiful young and innocent girl, VINO

strolling player, with whom she elopes
from her strict home. After two years
OF married bliss he tires OF her ana
runs away. Finding that he can not
live without her. Pierrot returns III
search of her, and later they are
united.
AS Prunella, Miss Clark gives a
thoroughly pleasing Interpretation OF
the part, but the great majority of her
admirers probab bly, will prefer to see
her in the lighter vein Of comedy &C
ton which has made her so popular
than in so serious role. Jules Rau-
court plays the leading male role. that
of Pierrot, while his servant, Scaramei
Is portrayed by Harry Leoni' Both
are good The cast is a capable one.
