A PROCLAMATION.

During the past year, an army of our young men has been in armed conflict on foreign shores in our defense. At home, there has been a universal participa- tion in everything which would contribute to our success. The armistice is signed and the re- action has come. We are still environed with destructive evil forces, which are all the more dangerous because less easily visualized.
 The people of New England have been a great force because of the Christian influence which surrounding them, developing what has been a New England conscience. We must not drift from our moorings. We need to be aroused from our indifference.
 I, therefore, appoint the 18th day of April, next, as a day of
 FASTING AND PRAYER
 And earnestly enjoin all who believe in God, love and govern ment, believe in the sancity of the New England home and the Christian Sabbath, to pray to our God to forgive us for our sins of indifference and to awaken us to clear comprehen- sion of the dangers which threaten us.

be sure to look on the label and see that the
words NUXATED IRON are printed there
on.
There are thousands of people taking iron
who do not distinguish between organic
iron and metallic iron and such persons
often fail to obtain the vital energy, strength
and endurance which they seek simply be-
cause they have taken the wrong form of
iron. If you are not strong or we'll, you
owe it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or how
far you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-gran tablets of Nuxated
Iron three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength and see
how much you have gained.

Strength Power and

As Organic Iron - Nuxated Iron.

With the threat to sue her druggist be-
cause he sold her a substitute for genuine
eNuxated Iron, the tonic, strength and blood
builder, one woman has set in motion a
wave of indignation over the country against
practice which offers such countless dam
gers to the health and welfare of the public.
This woman claims that instead of obtaining
increased strength and improved health as
she had with the true Nuxated Iron, she
was seriously upset and in fact became i'll
as result of using the substitute. Such
instances as these have led physicians men
TONED below to emphasize that health off
