was found to have been opened by the
post mistress end the $1.50 which the
sender claimed was put in, was miss
ing. However the affair was pleas
antly adjusted and the post mistress
was allowed to continue in her office

Thousands of Weak Nervous
People Have Been “Fooled”
They Took the Wrong Kind of Iron.
Are YOU One of Them? How to Tell.
1 was talking to a young lady who was very nervous, irritable and rundown—she
also suffered from shortness of bre.ith, heart palpitation and indigestion —her
d'^tor told her she was anaeraig-suffering from IRON STARVATION OF THE
BLOOD and advised her to take iron.
She told me she tried NUXATED IRON and had not received much benelt—I
said ARE YOU SURE it was NUXATED'IRON -She said yes, that it was a
small smooth coated black tablet—I said YOU ARE W RUNG — Nuxated Iron
is a brown uncoated tablet with the letters N. I. stamped on every tablet-therefore
you didn’t take Nuxated Iron. . --
I said Nuxated Iron contains ORGANIC IRON
like the iron in YOUR BLOOD and tike the iron
! in spinach, lentils and apples, which is an en
tirely different thins from metallic iron which
people usually take and which is made merely
1 from the action of strong acids on small pieces
of iron. Kuittd iron is so prepared that it
will not injurs the teeth nor disturb the stomach
—you can even cat it if you wish.
NUXATED IRON also contains a product
vhich represent the princi;<al chemical con
stituent of active living nerve forcefor FEEDING
i THE NERVES, so that it might be said to be
both a BLOOD and a NERVE FOOD. This re
markable nerve force product was brought to
the attention of the French Academy of Medi
cine by the celebrated Dr. Robin. It not only
helps revitalise wornout exhausted nerves, but
it undoubtedly increase* the efficiency of the
iron itself.
Nuxated Iron also contains powdered nux. an
extremely valuable product for toning up the
stomach and stimulating digestion, thereby in
i creasing metabolism—the power of the human
! body to transform food into blood, living cells
I and tissues.—Without this power nothing you
i cat docs you any good-you do not get the
I full strength out of it.
| The Courts of Justice have done what they
; could on cases brought before them to protect
! the public from fraudulent imitations of Nux
ated Iron—One Nuxated Iron imitator was or
dered to pay $1,060.00 damages by a United States
Court and forever to cease using the words‘‘Nux
•nd Iron’’ to deceive the public.—Another was
caught in Tennessee and given • heavy Aue for
violation of the criminal law—But the rascals
are not all caught yet, so beware of substitutes.
Remember that nobody ever makes imitations
or substitutes for “fake” diamonds—It's only
the things of real value that axe afflicted with
imitations.
Iron is absolutely necessary to the health and i
existence of every man, woman, animal and j
plant on earth. Without iron in the soil the i
farmer could raise no green fields of wheat to
furnish you food; no cherry blossoms would
brighten the spring; no golden apples would !
hang in the orchards, no strawhcrricsof luscious
red wouW ever pass your lips-even the earth i
itself would liave a grayish slimy look as if pro
phetic of its end.
When, as a result of iron starvation you
get up feeling tired in the morning, when
you find yourself nervous, irritable and easily j
upset; when yon can no longer do your day's
work without being all fagged out at night; or ;
have pains across the back and your face looks !
pale and drawn, do Dot wait until yon go all to
pieces and collapse in a state of nervous pros- i
txationoruntilin your weakened condition you
contract some serious disease, but take NliX- {
ATED IRON at once to help enrich blood !
and revitalise your worn out. exhausted nerves, i
Organic Kuxatcdlron often increases the bodily
and mental, vigor of weak, tired, wornont, nerv
ous people in two weeks’ time.
Beware of substitutes. Always look for the
word"Nuxated”oneverypackage and the letters
N. I. on every tablet. Yourmoney will be refund
ed by the manufacturers if you do not obtain
perfectly satisfactory results. At all druggists.
