We hear it at home, at work and

know just what to do in cases of this
kind. They know that few weeks

strengthen. stimulate and feed the
overwhelmingly nerve centers.
Phosphated Iron certainly does take
hold. The way the majority OF pa
tients come back is remarkable. You
can almost see their nerves grow
steady, strong and peaceful.
What change in appearance, too.
The cheeks become filed out and
flushed with the healthy rudy glow
that only pure, red, ircnized blood can
give, eyes sparkle, their step has the
spring and swing of youth and their
whole system seems to be alive with
energy and good spirits.
Mr.. Nervous Man or Woman, Phos-
