Why I Believe inNuxated Iron As a Tonic, Strength and Blood Builder Probably no "remedy has ever met with such phenomenal success as hat Nuxated Iron. It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually are tak ing It In this country alone, Ithas been highly endorsed sad used by Former United States Senators and II embers ot Congress; Physicians who have been connected with well-known hospitals have prescribed and recommended it. Monscigneur Nanninl, prominent Clergyman, recommends it to all. Former Health Commissioner Wm. R. Kerr, of Chicago, aays It ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician. Dr. A. J. Newman., late Police Surgeon of the pCity of Chicago, and former House Sur geon, Jefferson Park Mosnital. CKir.irn av Nuxated Iron has proven through his own testa of it to cicel any preparation he has ever used for creating red blood, building up the nerves, strengthening the muscles and correcting digestive disorders. Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly pt'17. sician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the Westchester County Hos pital says there are thousands of men and women who need a strength and blood builder but do not know what to take. In his opinion there is nothing better than organic iron Nusated Iron-for enriching the blood and helping to increase the strength and endurance of men and women who hum g) too rapidly their nervous en ergy in thejtrenuous strain ot the great business competition of the day. If you are not strong or well, you owe H to yourself to make the following test: See Bow long you can work or how far you cm walk without becoming- tired.

Strain lemon Juice well before mixing and massage face, neck, arms, hands. Here is told how to prepare an in expensive lemon lotion which can be used to bring back to any skin the sweet freshness of which it has been robbed by trying atmospheric condi tions. Wind-chafe, roughness, tan and redness are warded off and those tell tale lines of care or of age are soft ened away. The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re markable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as"freckles, sallewness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier. Just tfy it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands, and see for yourself. Adv. This Skin Peeler Alii the Rage in Society "fhere is a growing tendency amongjromen of culture and fashion to pay more attention to hygienic means of preserving their charms. The advent of mercolized wax doubt less bas heen largely responsible for this. This remarkable substance produces com plexions so natural in appearance, so mag netically beautiful, artificial complexions are no longer desired. I.istead of "doctoring" an offensive skin, the skin is peeled off. The wax peels the skin so gradually, in such fine particles, no discomfort is experienced. The fresher, younger skin beneath, wholly in evidence within a week or two, is lily white, satiny, soft and smooth. It's not a patched over complexion, but a brand new one. That's why mercolized wax has become such a rage among society folk. The wax is put on nights am f "cam and washed off mornings. All druggists have it; one ounce will do. Advertisement.

Storrs. Robert S. Storrs, a well known civil engineer, residing at 2235 C? land Place, Denver, Colo., tells a re markable story of his relief from suf fering, through the use of Tanlac. Mr. Storrs, who has lived in Denver all his life, and who i3 highly re spected by all who know him, de clares that the results he has obtained- through the medicine are far in excess of his expectations. His statement follows: "Ud until about eight years ago, I was as strong and healthy as a man could ask to be. In fact, I prided myself on my good health and strength and made no particular ef fort to take care of it. I felt like I could work longer and harder and go longer without eating than other peo ple. I have worked all day long many a day without eating a bite, then gone home- late at night, eaten a heavy supper and gone to bed. I thought I could keep this up all the time, but suddenly found, ut differ ently and everything kt the region of my stomach seeawd to go wrong. My appetite sepad to go back on me and evaurthing I ate tasted just alike. In, sinter words, nothing had any ftast. I had no desire for food of any kind and never enjoyed eating at all, I just forced myself to eat a little and then before long I began to have an awful amount of gas on my stom ach and terrible pains after eating. My liver was all clogged up and I was ' constipated all the time. "I dropped down from 174 to 149 pounds and was still losing weight and getting weaker all the time. I got so nervous and unstrung I could not sleep at night and decided it was about time I was trying to get my troubles checked up. 1 was examined and told that I had a very bad stom ach. I went under treatment but fail ed to get any relief.
