Federal agents working on the in

Nuxated Iron Should
Hospital and Prescribed
Says Dr. Howard James, late of the United States Public Health Service
It quickly enriches the blood, strengthens the nerves and puts most astonishing youthful power and
vigor into the veins of both men and women. It often increases the strength and endurance of deli
cate, nervous, run-down folks 200 per cent, in two weeks' time.
Opinions of Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Medical Author, Dr. T. Alphonsus Wallace
and other physicians who have tested Nuxated Iron in their own private practice.
In a very interesting: and instructive
discourse on the great value of plenty
of iron in the bloo<), Dr. Howard James,
late of the United States Public Health
Service, said:
"A patient of mine remarked to me
(afer having been on a six •weeks'
course of Nuxated Iron).
" 'Sny, Doctor, that there stuff Is like
music.'
"Previous to using Nuxated Tron, I
liad been prescribing tho various min
eral salts of Iron for years, only to
meet complaints of discolored teeth,
disturbed digestion, tied up, hardened
secretions, etc.. and I had about reach
ed the conclusion that the only way to
supply iron was to get the patient to
eat very large quantities or spinach,
carrots, and lentils, when I came across
Nuxated Iron, an elegant, ingenious
preparation containing organic iron,
which has no destructive action on the
teeth—no corrosive effect on the stom
ach, snd which is readily assimilated
into the blood and quickly makes Its
presence felt by increased vigor, snap
and staying power.
"Iron is absolutely necessary to en
able your blood to change food into liv
ing tissue. Without It, no matter how
much or what you eat, your food mere
ly passes through you without doing
you any good. You d6n't get the
strength out of it, and as a conse
quence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking, just like a plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient in iron.
"As I have said a hundred times over,
organic iron is the greatest of all
strength builders. If people would only
throw away habit-forming drugs and
nauseous concoctions and take simple
Nuxated Iron. I am convinced that tho
lives of thousands of persons might be
saved who now die every year from
pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kid
ney, liver and heart troubles, etc. The
real and true cause which started their
diseases was nothing more nor less
than lack of iron in the blood.
"Thousands of people suffer from iron
deficiency and do not know it.
"If you aro 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 becom
ing tired. Next take two five-grain tab
lets of Nuxated Iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see how
much you have gained. From my own
experience with Nuxated Iron I feel it
is such a valuable remedy that it
should be kept in every hospital and
prescribed by every physician in this
country.
Dr. E. Saucr, a Boston physician, who
has studiad both In this country and
great European medical institutions,
was asked what he thought of Dr.
.Tames' remarks. In reply, he said: "I
fully agree with Dr. James. People need
more Iron. There can be no strong, vig
orous Iron men and beautiful, healthy
women without iron. Not long ago a:

The investigation yesterday, N as far
as it was permitted to be made public,
centered to a great extent around
Adelbert K. Fischer and his wife, two
of the principals arrested in connec
tion with the smuggling plot. It was
learned that, the Schutte and Koerting
Company of which Fischer is presi
dent, is a branch of a largo German
marine engineering concern located at
Hamburg, and that it has been en
gaged in the manufacture of parts of
Dr. T. Alphonsus Wallace, a physician
of many years' experience in this coun
try and who lias been given many hon
orary titles in England, was next ask- I
ed to give an opinion on Nuxated Iron.
Dr. Wallace said:
"I do not make a practice of recom
mending advertised medicinal products
but 1 have found Nuxated Iron so po
tent in nervous, run-down conditions
that I believe all should lcnow of it.
The men and women of to-day need
more iron in their blood than was the
case twenty or thirty years ago. This
because of the deminerallzed diet which
now is served dally in thousands of
homes and also because of the demand
for greater resistance necessary to off
set the greater number of health haz
ards to be met at every turn."
The next to be consulted was Dr.
Ferdinand King, a New York physician
and author, who said:
I "I hoartily concur in all that Dr.
James has said only in some respects
I would go further. D'r. James forgot
to mention how foods lose their Iron
value by improper methods of cookery.
In the most common foods of America,
the starches, sugars, table syrups, can
dies, polished rice, white bread, soda
crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti,
tapioca, sago, farina, degerminated corn
meal. 110 longer is iron to be found.
Keiining processes have removed the
iron o( Mother Earth from these im
poverished foods and silly methods of
home cookery, by throwing down the
waste pipe the water in whTcli our veg
etables are cooked is responsible for
another grave Iron loss. Therefore, if
you wish to preserve your youthful
vim and vigor to a ripe age, you must
supply the iron deficiency in your food
by using some form of organic iron—
Nuxated Iron, just as you would use
salt when your food has not enough
salt."
NOTE—Nuxated liron which is pre
scribed and recommended above by
physicians in such a great variety of
cases is not a patent medicine nor
secret cemedy. but one which is well I
known to druggists and whose iron
constituents are widely prescribed by
1 eminent physicians everywhere. Un
like the older inorganic iron products
it is easily assimilated, does not In
jure the teeth, make them black nor
upset the stomach; on tile contrary it
is a most potent remedy in nearly all
forms of Indigestion, as well as for
nervous. run-down conditions. The
manufacturers have such great confi
dence in Nuxated Iron that they offer
to forfeit SIOO.OO to any charitable in
stitution If they cannot take any man
or woman under 60 who lacks iron and
increase their strength 200 per cent or
over in four weeks' time provided they
have no serious organic trouble. They

and endurance in ten days' time. It im
