WHY YOU NEED
RON-
To make you strong and "brainy"
and put the power into your
blood to . overcome Iis
eaia farm.
PRACTICAL ADVICE ' ON HOW
TO DEVELOP GREAT EN
ERGY AND ENDURANCE
The food you eat contains carbon.
When your food is digested it is ab
sorbed from the intestines into the
blood. When the carbon In your
food comes in contact with the oxy
gen carried by the iron in your
blood, the carbon and oxygen unite
and by so doing they give off
tremendous energy, thereby giving
you great force, strength and en da ranee.
Without iron your blood carries no oxygen
and without oxygen there is nothing to
unit with the carbon in your food, ao that
what you eat does you no good you do
not get any strength from It it la like
putting coal into a stove without a fire.
You cannot get any heat unless the coal
unites with the fire.
The strongest weapon with which to
prevent and overoome eolda, pneumonia,
kindney trouble, rheumatism, nervous
prostration, in fact almost any disease or
disease germs is plenty of good rich, pure
blood, strength, energy and endurance and
the greatest energy carrier in the body is
organic iron, not metallic iron which people
usually take, but organie iron like the iron
contained in what is known as organie
Nuxated iron, which may be bad from
almost any druggist.
If you have been taking metallic Iron
without benefit such is no proof that or
ganic Nuxated iron will not help you.
Nuxated Iron often increases tha strength,
energy and endurance of weak, nervous,
run down folks in two weeks time. It is
such an extremely valuable product that
even the Fops at Rome wrote especially of
its merits in a communication to the Phar
macia Normale. It - has been used and
recommended by former United States
Senators, Members of Congress. Judges of
U. 8. Courts, many physiciana and prom
inent men.
Over 4.000.000 people are now using it
annually. Satisfactory results art guar
anteed or the manufacturers will refund
your money. Sold by ail druggists in
