Read Below What Dr. Hornstine Says:
During my ten years* connection Tilth the Deportment of Public Health
and Churitles as District Physician, and with the Department of Public
Safety a * Police Surgeon, also an a member of Importaut hospital staff*, I
was often asked by both physicians und laymen: "Doctor, what do you
recommend to renew the supply of iron In the blood of people In a weak,
nervous, run-down Mate?" While knowing? that Iron deficiency wan the
cause of this debilitated condition, and that Iron must be supplied before
renewed strength could be obtained, I nevertheless always hesitated about
giving an opiulou. This was simply because of iny lack of confidence In
the ordinary forms of metallic Iron salts, with which there has been so much
dissatisfaction. After carefully examining the formula of \uxatcd Iron, 1
realised that here at last was organic Iron—the only kind I could con
scientiously recommend, prepared In Hucb a way with other Ingredients as
to be easily assimilated and calculated to uct as a quick revltalixer of the
blood and a true strength builder. ITS ADMINISTRATION IX A NUMBER.
OF STUBBORN CASKS WHERE OTHER TONICS HAD UTTERLY FAILED,
ONLY SERVED TO CONVINCE ME ABSOLUTELY' OF THE REMARKABLE
AND UNUSUAL POWER OF NUXATED IRON. WHEN I PERSONALLY
TOOK IT, I FOUND THE RAPIDITY WITH W r HICH MY ENERGY AND
ENDURANCE INCREASED MOST SURPRISING. The fact that this prep
aration of Iron does not Injare the teeth* nor upset the stomach, makes It
especially desirable. In my opinion, the widespread use of Nuxated Iron
is bound to make a nation of stronger men, lovelier women and healthier
children.
and vitality as a young man; in fact,
a young man he really was. notwith
standing his age. The secret, he said,
was taking iron—Nuxated Iron had
filled him with renewed life. At 30
he was in bad health; at 46 he was
careworn and nearly all in—now at 50,
after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle
of vitality and his face beaming with
buoyancy of youth."
If you are not strong or well, you
owe it to yourself to make the fol
lowing test: See how long you can
work or how far you can walk with
out becoming tired. Next take two
five-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron
three times a day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again
and see how much you have gained.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron which has
been used by Dr. N. H. Hornstine with
such surprising results and which Is
prescribed and recommended above by
physicians in such a great variety of
wickedness. On that very ship itself

The Independent Girl Who Wanted to Work and What
She Discovered

"There's really nothing at all to
life," said Tessie, despondently. "Al!
these people who write about the
beautiful things that happen don't
know; that's all; they've never been
up against it."
Her companion did not answer
all at once. She was walking along
at Tessie's side, thinking about the
words that had just been spoken.
Were they true? If so, what was
the use of it all?
Tessie was speaking again.
"You know, some of us girls was
wondering the other night how you
stand for it. You don't seem like
the rest of us, and you don't do
half the complainin' we do."
The other girl smiled at this.
"Complaining doesn't do any
good."
"Yes, It does; it seems to help
things if a lot of us get together
and talk about our troubles."
"You think it does, but it really
doesn't help. Things are Just a?
liad after you go back to them
again." .
The speaker was a slight dark
girl. She had thoughtful eyes and
a rounded, aristocratic little chin.
She was different from Tessie, who
w as a worker and whose people were
workers. She looked as though she
had come from a different world,
and had known different people, and
yet she worked next to Tessie at the
ribbon counter.
"What do you think about It all?"
Tessie asked suddenly.
The other girl turned to her. "I
wonder if it would help you if I
told you what I really do think."
"Sure it would," the other girl
responded. "Here we've been walk
in' home together for two weeks
now, and you've never said what
you think right out."
"If I do tell you Tessie, you won't
speak of it to the other girls, will
you?"
Tessie promised quickly, almost
breathlessly, and the other girl
smiled again, her smile that some
how carried more in it than the or
dinary smile of a girl of her age.
"Well, Tessie, I came down here
because I wanted to know more
about life. I thought that the life
I was leading was too narrow."
"You mean you don't have to work
if you don't want to?" Tessie spoke,
suspiciously. There is nothing that
so frightens a working girl and so
quickly places her on her guard as
the thought that she is being made
material of in one way or another.
"No, I *don't have to' work," the
other girl returned, "but don't mis
understand, Tessie. I didn't come
down here to find out about you,
I came to find out about myself.
Oh, you haven't any idea how I

"Like one of those society girls

terly.
"No, not a bit like that," the
other girl responded.
"Why not? You're just like them,
having a play time now, and going
back to the gay life when you're
tired of it all."
"But I'm not going back to it."
Tessie stopped for a moment on
the street and stared, then she walk
ed on in silence.
"I'm not going back to the old
life, Tessie, because I've found
something in this that the old life
never had."
Tessie laughed a mirthless little
laugh.
"That's a joke!" she exclaimed.

do you know that I have found
something in this life that I never

dcsen't mean something to me."
Tessie reddened and a shy smile
crept across her sullen little face.
"We have been sort of pals,
haven't we?" she said softly.
"That's just it," the other girl
responded. "And we live our own
lives in a sense, because we're not

And Tessie who did not quite un

fiame of courage, something new to
her colorless little life, something a
great deal like hope.
