"Anaemia--Lack of Iron--Is Greatest Curse To Health and Beauty of American Women" Says Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author Any Woman Who Tires Easily, Is Nervous or Irritable, or Looks Pale, Haggard and Worn, Should Have Her Blood Examined for Iron Deficiency. Administration of Nuvated Iron Will Increase the Strength and Endurance of Weak, Nervous, Careworn Women 100 Per Cent in Two Weeks' Time in Many Instances. Work Physician and recent talks to and serious con- cacies in the blood of kind of iron you must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimi- and often ous, irri- olancholy, the blood from their THE CHILD'S APPEAL Handwritten notes "Mother, why don't you take NUXATED IRON and be strong and well and have nice rosy cheeks, instead of being so nervous and irritable all the time and looking so haggard and old. The doctor gave some to Susie Smith's mother and she was worse off than you are, and now she looks just fine." American woman, I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic iron — mutated iron — for their patients, but baggy-looking women patients. Pollar means anemia. The skin of an anaemic woman is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, dependent and malancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of America, the starches sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, determinated cornmeal, no longer iron to iron, no longer processing that have removed the iron of Mother Earth from those impersonal foods, and all methods of home cookers, by throwing down the waste pipe, the water in which our vegetables are cooked are capable for another grave iron loss." "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful sim and tiger to a pipe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food; using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. If you would use hundred times over organic iron in the greatest of all strength builders, if people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run- Miss Ruth Haynes is spending the week in Kansas City.

The real and true cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by a lack of iron in the blood. On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain plaque upon her system at certain periods, she requires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale 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, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxedron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much or how much of nervous run-down people who were alling all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles, in from ten to fourteen days form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit, but don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate, or orchium of iron, simply to save a few dollars, feature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is, alas, not that kind of iron you must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimi- Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author, tells physicians that they should prescribe more organic iron—Nuxated Iron—for their patients—Says anemia—iron deficiency—is the greatest curse to the health, strength, vitality and beauty of the modern American Woman.—Sounds warning against use of metallic iron which may injure the teeth, corrode the stomach and do far more harm than good; advises use of only nuxated iron.

I have induced many other physicians to give it a trial, all of whom have given me most surprising reports in regard to its great power as a health and strength builder. Many an athlete and prize fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron."
