MORE WEIGHT, STRENGTH,
VIGOR And NERVE FORCE

New York Physicians Who's Who"
says ''Bitro-Phosphate should be
prescribed by every doctor and used
in every hospital to increase strength

BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the
necessary phosphoric food elements,
bitro-phosphate quickly produces a

pearance; the increase in weight fire.

This increase in weight also carries

soon disappear. dull eyes become

from lie Catelet, while on the
south. the French are between
SeQueheart and Les Dins.
Foe Resistance Bitter
The German resistance Is bit

men captured 1000 prisoners With
the British in the open country

ders are widening the salient east
Of Ypres. which threatens the
German positions on the coast
