The Board of Directors have au-
thorized the broadest publication of
the sworn statement of the compo-
sition of Nuxated Iron, one of the
most widely used tonic, strength
and blood builders in the world, so
that the public may examine it for
themselves and judge as to its
merits.
1t is conservatively estimated
that this remarkable formula is now
being used by over 100000 people
annually in America alone. Among
those who have used and strongly
endorse it are many physicians for
merly connected with well-known
hospitals, former United States SEN
ators VIM. Z. Mason and Charles
A. Towne, former members Of Con-
gress; distinguished U. S. Army
Generals (retired), Judge Atkinson
of the United States Court Of Claims
at Washington and former Public
Health Commissioner Kerr. OF Chi
cago.
Newspapers everywhere are in
vited to copy this statement for
the benefit Of their readers. 1t is
suggested that physicians make a
fees SO that they may {ntelligently
answer questions of patients con-
cerning II. Everybody is advised
to cut ii out and keep it. A copy of
the actual sworn statement will be
sent to any one who desires such.

Each dose of two tablets OF Nux-
ated Iron contains one and one-half
grains OF organic iron in the form
of iron peptonate of special spe-
cific standard which in our opinion
possesses superior qualities TO any
other known form of iron. BY using
other makes of Iron Peptonate we
could have put the same quantity
of actual iron in the tablets at less
than one-fourth the cost to us, and
by using metallic iron we could
have accomplished the same thing
at less than one-twelfth the cost;
but by so doing we must have most
certainly impaired their therapeutic
efficacy. .Glyceropkosphates used in
