MANY SUFFERERS
ARE GIVEN HOPE

Interest continues to grow in this
vicinity concerning the new strength
builder, Irogen, which scientists are
claiming is the essential element
needed for overcoming chronic dis
case and rebuilding health and vigor.
1t is pointed out that hospital tests
and experiments of all kinds have
proven conclusively that thin, weak
frail people suffering from common
complaints take on the bloom Of
health and become strong, sturdy,
vigorous men and beau iful, healthy
women after adopting the Irogep
treatment.
If scientists are right and reports
from all over this section certainly
bear out their claims that Irogen is
the true blood and strength h-builder,
relief is offered suffering humanity
that will rank with the greatest dis
coveries of modern times.
Warming is given, however, that.
owing to its well known fiesh-buiid-
ing powers. Irogen should not he TAX
en- by any one who does not desire to
add flesh.
