drag out a miserable existence with

NATURE PRODUCES

What Chemists For Years Sought
to Achieve Has Been Found
In a Natural Mineral

1t has long been a recognized

For years chemists endeavored to
find an assimilable, digestable form
of iron, but their nearest approach
was an inorganic, NOTWITHSTANDING.
constipating and indigestible pro-
duct, which frequently did more
harm than good.
At last an acid iron was found
in natural mineral deposit, which.
while it is analyzable by chemists,
entirely balks their efforts to repro
duce artificially. By its use, thous-
ands of anaemic, underweight, run
down people have been completely
restored to normal health within
two or three weeks time.
While its cost is mere trifie, the
distributors of this marvellous rem
edy, the Ferrodine Chemical CorpOr-
alton, are so confident of its success
that they unqualifiedly guarantee it
to do what is claimed for it, or your
druggist will promptly refund its
purchase price.
AIM is in no sense a patent med
icine or secret remedy. 1t is nat

the health-producing, tissue-and-
blood building properties of purely
organic iron. MesSrs. Froehling &

certify that the following ingredi-

Sodium Sulphate, Sodium Iodide.
Sodium Phosphate, Cilicic Acid, Free

This is what these famous chem
