SCARCITY OF LIVE STOCK

For some time it has been apparent to those who
have given the thought that the country is threatened
with an alarming shortage in live stock-espeeialv meat pro
ducing animals though horses and mules are also showing
Ia shortage.
When the in Europe first began it was suggested by
ur agricultural department that farmers and stock
asers devote greater attention to increasing the number of
neat animals It pointed out that the large foreign
demand would make great nrOads in supply This was

the earliest moment, with the result that thousands of head

Stock buyers inform that for the past Wears the
weight OF hogs especially has steadily declined due to the
TACT that the heavy feeders have been practically exhausted

situation carefully that concerted effort MUST be made to

astonishing results have been reported from
It's use both by doctors and laymen. that
a number of physicians In various parts OF
the country have been asked to explain
why they prescribe 1t 30 extensively ana
why Il apparently produces SO much better
results than were obtained from the OLD
foxms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters received
are given below:
DR.. Ferdinand King. New York physi-
clan and Medical Author. says: There can
be no sturdy iron men without iron. Pallor
means anaemia Anaemia means iron de-
aciency The skin OF anaemic men and
women is pale, the flesh nabby. the muscles
lack tone, the brain flags and the memory
fails and they often become weak, nervous.

the iron goes from the blood OF women the
roses go from their cheeks.

removed the iron Of Mother Earth from
these Impoverished foods and silly methods

tables are cooked are responsible for an
other grave iron loss.
Therefore you should supply the iron
deficiency In your food by using some form
OF organic iron. Just as you would use salt
when your food has not enough salt
Dr. A. J. Newman. late Police Surgeon OF
the City Of Chicago and former House Sur

Commenting on Nuxated Iron, says: 1T has

physically equipped to Withstand all man

"Nuxated Iron has proven through my
own tests of II to excel any preparation

building UP the nerves. strengthening the
muscles and correcting digestive disorders. -
Or. T. Alphonsus Wallace, a physician of
many years experience In this country and
abroad says: II do not make a practice OF

ucts but i have found Nuxated Iron so
potent in nervous. run down conditions that
I believe all should know of It. The men
and women of today need more iron In
their blood than was the case twenty OF
