WINTER HAVEN MAN SAYS
ITS A FINE REMEDY
HAD ALL KINDS OF KIDNEY,
BLADDER AND STOMACH
TROUBLES HIMSELF BUT
GOT RID OF THEM.
TELLS HOW HE DID 1T

"Anybody who has suffered with
kidney, bladder and indigestion trou-
bles like l did knows it is no joke"
says the City Marshall and Tax Col
lector of Winter Haven, Florida.
Il had severe pains in and around
my kidneys and in my bladder and
sometimes would have to climb out of
bed as often as 8 or times in night.
1t put me to whole lot of suffering
not to mention expense. My food
sometimes wouldn't digest at all, and
was getting alarmed about my con-
dition when friends who had found
out about Acid Iron Mineral started
me taking it. The pains in my kid
neys and bladder disappeared and in
stead of crawling out of bed at all
hours of the night my sleep got so
peaceful and it did me so much good
know it will help people troubled
like l was. / want to pass the glad
tidings along to othdrs because
know what hard time 1 had locating
a real remedy. My digestion and
appetite got better and I can eat any
thing | want now. No sour stomach
and Indigestion troubles on my menu
anymore" declares Winter Haven's
City Marshall and Tax Collectors, b.
F. Norman.
Acid Iron Mineral is a medicinal
iron compounded from ore just as
it is dug in the mine. 1t is powerful
as can be. Just a teaspoonful in a
glass of water makes a powerful dose.
A twelve ounce bottle selling at a
dollar goes long ways and it doesn't
contain drop Of alcohol or injurious
dope. 1t won't hurt any ones teeth.
1t is just good old highly concen-
trated iron tonic, aid to digestion and
blood medicine. The name, Ferrod-
inc Chemical Corp, Roanoke, Va, is
back Of it and means quality and
strength. Druggists have it or a
fresh generous sixe twelve ounce bot
tie will be sent prepaid on receipt Of

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier.
as, in most instances. that is the first
thing asked for.
