taking them off, for about two hours
and then we were ordered to put
them on and keep them on for one

The thing to do in such cases no
longer troubles doctors and their pa

perience the value of Phosphated Iron.
They know that a few weeks* regular
use of this nerve food and red blood
builder will strengthen and (brace up
the whole nervous system, beause
Phosphated Iron gives the tired, hun

and iron, in a form easily and quickly
absorbed as one happy user said:
"You can almost feel it taking hold ot
the nerves and blood, after a short
time you feel like a new person life
seems a pleasure and worth living once
again.
In every section where Phosphated
Iron has been used there has been a
big decrease of nerve troubles and it
will prove a welcome relief to any
sufferer. You can hank on it for re
