Kenneth attends to all by himself.
Kenneth detests rats aud they're

Nutter, which shall inform all Gus

and Kill 'em for five cents apiece?
LAt's, see--that'd be $1,05 already

WHY WEAK NERVES

BLOOD
CAUSE SUCH GREAT PHYSI-
CAL WEAKNESS AND MAKE
ONE AN EASY PREY TO A
MULTITUDE OF DANGEROUS
DISEASES.

Every human being is born with a certain
quantity of nerve force"-some with more
than others.
Your body normally makes or generates
nerve force only about so fast, and II
through overwork. woriy, constant nervous
strain. or other eIcesses, you use up your
nerve., force faster than your body makes
new nerve force. then your nerve power
becomes weakened, and as a consequence
your blood may become thin. pale, and
watery. and you become feeble, cross. and
suffer terrible tortures from a multitude Of
alarming symptoms, but in your greatly
weakened condition you are an easy prey for
the multitude Of dangerous germs with
which you must come In almost daily con-
tact. and you may therefore easily contract
some dangerous or even fatal disease.
In such cases you should Immediately take
something to revitalize your wornout, ex-
hausted nerves and create new nerve force.
This Is most effectively accomplished by the
free use Of Nuxated Iron. This valuable
product quickly aids IN enriching the blood
and thereby helps It to furnish an additional
supply Of new nerve force with which to
revitalize and regcnerate the brain and nerve
cells. II also contains q product which rep
resents the principal chemical constituent

nearly allied to that In the nerve and brain
