Few people know that every courageous, red-blooded person, such as our own soldier boys at the front, haa within his body fifty grains of iron, or as much as is contained in an ordi nary "tenpenny" nail. To be brave, courageous and active one must have good, red blood. Our men of iron are men with good blood, good circulation and an active liver. The poor, weak "slacker" who is not brave enough to go to war, is probably unfit because of thin, watery bloodT It is easy to acquire strength and red-blood corpus cles by taking regular exercise in the outdoors, breathing exer cises in the morning, and some thing to increase the appetite and the red-blood corpuscles. The newest iron tonic is "Irontic," di3C0vered by Dr. Pierce and his staff of physi cians at the Surgical Institute, in Buffalo, N.Y. This "Irontic" tablet i3 a combination of s,ol ubie iron and herbal extracts, .which is proving a wonderful success everywhere it can be ; obtained. Most druggists sell these "Irontic" tablets in sixty- cent vials. In th morning when yoa a -waken instead of feelias dull, down-hfiirted and Mae. yoa hare Uta baoyaat feel ing of youth, your ejea sparkle, and soon yoar skin will show the good effect. Send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial iPkg. "Iron tic" tAbleta build un. strengthen, energize, and fill you full of rim, rigor and Tltallty. Tho man who doe physic; work using his muscles, occasionally com plains of sluggiahneaa, muacaUr tired feeling, muscular stiffness or aches, neuralclc twinges, lumbago, rheuma tism symptoms all due to this urts acid accumulation. In erery case Dr. Pierce advises hot water, and Anurlc taken three times dally. Aaaric is a simple, safe remedy, which Is to b bad at almost every drug store. LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS one day.
