than iron IN the healthy human body and since
it is the vital element OF the vital organs do
not hesitate to say that the loss OF even a
small fraction Of 1t seriously impairs the health
and paTes the way for dangerous diseases. On
the other hand, look at the people with plenty Of
phosphorus in them. They are full Of vitality,
alert, active wideawake-alive in every nerve
and fber-quick to think. quick to act-the leaders
Of every community, found at the head of every
business and profession- They are magnetic, at
