Senator New, is an importation tax
that will either be prohibitive, or will
be so high that foreign machines, no

more cheaply than new planes a be

TO make the following test: See how long
you can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next take two fve-
grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three
times per day after meals for two weeks.
then test your strength again and. see now
much you have gained. Numbers OF nervous,
rundown people who were .ailing all the
while have most astonishingly increased their
strength and endurance simply by taxing
iron in the proper form. But don't take the
old kinds of iron simply to save a few cents.
