NEW YORK, N. Y Not long ago a man came to me who wag nearly half a century old and-asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. 1 was aston ished to find him with the blood pressure f a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact, a young man he really was, notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron nuxat ed iron had filled hfm with renewed life. At 30 he was in bsd health; at 46 careworn and nearly all in. Now at 60 a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. As I have said a hundred times over, iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only 'throw away patent medicines and nauseous concoctions and take simple nuxated iron, I am convinced that the lives of thousands of persons might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia,- grippe, consumption, kidney, liver and heart trouble, etc. The real and true cause which started theii discuses was noth ing more nor less than a weakened condi tion brought on by lack of iron in the blood. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. With out it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through yon with out doing youany good. You don't get the strength out Uf it and as a consequence you become weak.ipaie and sickly looking. Just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next nr I.U live-gram lauteis oi orainarv nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two week.'. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how ma.h have gained.

A deep cut over his right eye was his most serious iniurv. Dr. Shook attended him. T.TL7 r DuooLina uver Taking Iron Did It of all strength builders Often in run-down people who were ailing all the while, double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dys pepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking Iron in the proper form. And this after they hnd in some esses been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced Iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron, simply to save a jew cents, rou must take Iron In a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated, like nuxated iron, if you want it to do you any good, otherwise It ma prove worse than useless. Many an athlete 'or prlsellghter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and rilled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron.
