BlOOd-IrOn Phosphate Makes You Stronger

Most weak, thin, nervous, rundown folks owe their condition to weak nerves and a lack of red blood cells. Blood-Iron Phosphate by strengthening the nerves and increasing the red blood cells helps to quickly overcome those trr-Ibles. such as thinness. anemia, neurasth mia, sleep lessness and physical weakness due to or accompanied by impoverished blood and weak nerves. Blood-Iron Phosphate costs only S1.50 for a three weeks treatment and is so genuinely good that National Drug Stores. or any otfer druggist of whom you buy it, is authorized to refund
 the full price to you if you are dissatis-
 fled. Better get Blood-Iron Phosphate and begin its use to lay.
