Sauer, a well known specialist who has studied widely both in this country and Europe, said: If you were to make an actual blood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greaty astonished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of Iron. The mo ment iron is supplied all their multi tude of dangerous symptoms disap pear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue and therefore nothing you eat does you any good you don't get the strength out of It. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. As a result of this con tinuous blood and nerve starvation, people become generally weakened, nervous and all run down and fre quently develop all sorts of condi tions. One is too thin another is burdened with unhealthy fat some are so weak they can hardly walk some think they have dyspepsia, kid ney or liver trouble some can't sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all day some fussy and Irritable some skinny and bloodless, but all lack physical power and endurance. In such cases. It Is worse than fool ishness to take stimulating medicines or narcotlo drags, which only whip up your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the expense of your life later on. No matter what any one tells you, if you are not strong and well you owe it to your self to make the following test. See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired.
