The Board Of Directors have authorized
the broadcast publication of the sworn state
ment of the composition of Nuxated Iron,
one Of the most widely used tonic, strength
and blood builders in the world, so that the
public may examine it for themselves and
judge as to its merits.
1t is conservatively estimated that this re-
markable formula is now being used by over
100000 people annually in America alone.
Among those who have used and strongly
endorse it are many physicians formerly con-
nected with well-known hospitals, former
United States Senators, members of Con-
gress, and former Health Officials.
Newspapers everywhere arc invited to
copy this statement for the benefit of their
readers. It is suggested that physicians make
q record Of it and keep it in their Of
fees so that they may intelligently answer
questions of patients concerning it. Every
body is advised to cut it out and keep it. A
