"Thera tan be no rosy cheeKta women healthy, beautiful, ithout Iron," nays Dr. Ferdinand Kinir. a New York ThySl- cian and Medical Author. "In my recent talks to physicians on the urave and seri ous conaenuences of iron deficiency in tho blood of American women, I have stronn ly emphasized the fact that doctors should prexcrihe more organic iron nuxated iron for their nervous, run-down, weak, han-Kard-iookintt women riatients. Pallor means anaemia. The skin of the anaemic woman Is pale, the flesh flabby. The mus cles lack tone, the brain fags and tho memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from, tho blood of women, the roses go from their checks. "In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, can dies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits. macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina. degerminated corn meal no longer is Iron to be found. Refining pro cesses have removed the Iron of Mother Earth from those impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the wsste pipe tha water in which oiir vegetables are cooked, are responsible for an other grave iron loss. "Therefore, if you wish to pre serve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must sup. ply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of orgsnic Iron, just as you would use sslt when your food has not enough salt. "As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron Is the greatest of all trength builders. If peo pie would only tske Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run-down, instead of dosing themnelves with habit-forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am con vinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it be coming organic In thousands of cases -and thereby the lives of thou sands might be saved who now die every year It'im pneumonia, grip, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous mala dies. The real and true cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. "On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain placed upon her ayatem at certain periods, she requires iron much mora than man to help make up for tha loss. "Iron Is also absolutely necessary to enable your blend to change food into living tissue.

The manufacturers have such great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they ctnnot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if t doea not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by Sherman-McConnelf Drug Stores and all good druggists.
