Without It, no matter how fnuch or what you eat, your food mere y passes through you without doing you any good. Tou don't get the Strength nut of It, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly look ing. Just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. A patient of mine remarked to me (after having been on a six weeks' course of Nux ated Iron), 'Say, Doctor, that there ?tuff U like magic.' "If you are not strong or well, you owe It to yourself to make the follow ing test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without be coming tired. Next take two flve-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three limes per day after meals for two weegs. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. From my own HOOD BROS., Smithfield, N.
