10 weak Suffering People, Declare Scientsa sa' 70
To Be Placed On Sale Here

Few announcements in MANY
years have caused such wide
spread interest in medical and
sclentlflc circles and among the
public in general as that recent
ly made regarding the discovery
of Irogen and its relation to the
blood and general health of the
human system.
The wonderful power of Iro-
gen to rebuild natural strength,
health and vigor is now attribut-
ed by physicians and scientists
to its bodybuilding power.
Irogen, they explain, regenerates
human blood, for it has been
demonstrated beyond the posi-
bility of a doubt that Irogen
supplies Nature with the ele-
ment essential to the formation
of a new blood.
The entire nation has been
amazed over the possibilities
brought to light through the dis
covery of Irogen, and rightly so,
for this discovery has a practi-
cal interest of far-reaching i'm
portance to the public in general.
1t is known that the world is
literally full of people whose
blood is below the standard of
vigorous health and whose
strength and vital resistance to
Idisease is therefore very low.
Almost every household, it is
said. contains one or more per-
sons whose vitality is below nor
mal-not necessarily invalids,
but rather weaklings, who are
prone to disease and complaints
of every kind.To these Irogen
will prove of estimable value in
rebuilding natural strength and
