This dread disease seems TO he
creeping in again and the doctors and
nurses and health authorities are busy
making preparations 10 handle it.
1t is thought that if people would

If you are weak and tired out and
rundown and unable TO take the neces-
sary rest TO bring yourself into first
class condition, probably you had bet
ter take Iron Lax-Tonic which seems
to be an especially effective combina-
ton for just such cases. There is the
laxative which keeps the system free
from all waste material and then there
is the invaluable iron in form easy
to be taken up for the benefit of the
blood and general strength. There are
good many preparations containing
iron in one form or another but only
one Iron-LaX-Tonic Pill. The package
bears the name of the druggist who
originated it. j. 7. Lantagne, and
many grateful people acknowledge its
benefits
For example. Mrs. Hugh Connell,
who lives at 14S Vernon street, Wake
field, Mass, stated, Il was troubled
with gas on the stomach, indigestion
and poor appetite | could not sleep
well which made me more or less
nervous. had no strength, no color
and now, after taking three bottles of
lron-LaX-Tonic, | feel entirely differ
ent. ] feel myself gaining all the
time. am telling all my friends about
IRON Lax-Tonic and what it has done
for me.
Now is the time to take Iron-Lax.
Tonic and get yourself in first-class
condition. If you get yourself strong
and vigorous you will have much
better chance of warding off dangerous
diseases.
