Recommends Nuxated Iron to All
Who Feel the Need of Renewed Energy
Says That Henceforth He Shall Not Be Without It
Probably no remedy lias ever met
with such phenomenal success as has
Nuxated Iron Ovqr threj million
people annually are taking it in this
country alone, to say nothing; of the
vast number who aro using- it in
France, England, South America and
other countries. It has been highly
endorsed and used by Former United
States Senators and Members of Con
gress; physicians who have been con
nected with well-known hospitals
have prescribed and recommended it;
Monseigneur Nannini, a prominent
Catholic Clergyman, recommends it to
all members of tho Catholic Church.
Former Health Commissioner, Wm. R.
Kerr, of Chicago, says it ought to be
used by every hospital and prescribed
by every physici**; Dr. N. H. Horn
stine, for ten years connected .with the
Department of Public Health and Char
ities of Philadelphia, says the admin
istration of Nuxated Iron in a number
of stubborn cases where other tonics
had utterly failed, only served to con
vince him absolutely of its remarkable
and unusual.power; Former First As
sistant Post Master General of the
United States, C. P. Granrtflcld, strong
ly endorses and recommends It to the
tens of thousands of civil service em
ployes who know his name and signa
ture. Sarah Bernhardt'—"the Divino
Sarah," the world's most noted actress,
has ordered a large quantity sent to
tho French soldiers to help give them
strength, power and endurance.
Former United States Senator Wm.
E. Mason says tho results ho ob
tained from its use in his own case
were so beneficial that he feels It
should be made known to every nerv
ous, run-down man. woman and
child. The famous "Cyclone" Davis
Member of the 04th United States
Congress, says the effect of Nuxated
Iron on him was almost magical,
that after taking it, nothing seemed
to tire him out no matter how strenu
ous it might be. Dr. A. J. Newman,
late Police Surgeon of the City of
Chicago, and former House Sur
geon Jefferson Park Hospital, Chi
cago, says Nuxated Iron has proven
Through his own tests of it to excel
any preparation he has ever used for
creating red blood, building up the
nerves, strengthening the muscles
and correcting digestive disorders.
Dr. Schuyler C 7 Jaques, Visit
ing Surgson Bt. Elizabeth's Hos
pital. New York, says lie has never
before recommended any remedy to
tho public, but that In the case of
Nuxated Iron he would feel he were
remiss in his duty not to mention it.
Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Phy
sician and Medical Author, says that
In his recent talks to physicians on
the grave and serious consequence!
of iron dedciency in the blood of
American women he has strongly em
phasized tho fact that doctors should
prescribe more organic Iron—Nux
ated Iron—for their weak, run-down,
rorvouß, haggard-looking patients,
T Cobb, th greatest baseball batter
of all time, took it to help give
him renewed energy and great staying

Dr. E. Sauer,
a Boston Physi
cian who has
studied both in

Kreat European
Medical Institu
tions, said:
"N'uxated Iron is
a wonderful
remedy. Not long ago a man
came to me who was nearly half u
century old and asked mo to give
him a preliminary examination for
life Insurance. I was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure of a
boy of twenty, and as full of vigor,
vim and vitality as a young man; in
fact, a young man ho really was, not
withstanding his age. The secret, he
said, was taking iron—N'uxated Iron
had filled him with renewed life. At
30 he was In bad health; at 46 ho wa
careworn and nearly all In—now at
60, after taking Nuxated Iron, a

people would only take Nuxated Iron
when they feel weak and run-down In
stead of' dosing themselves with
hablt-formlng drugs, stimulants, and
alcoholla beverages, I ain convinced
that in this way they could ward off

thereby the lives of thousands might

If you are not

you owe it to
yourself to make

NOTE Nuxated Iron, which has
been used by Former United States
.Senator TowYie with such surprising
results, and which Is prescribed and
recommended above by physicians In
such a great variety of cases, is not
a patent medicine nor secret remedy,
but one which is well known to drug
gists everywhere. Unlike tho older

assimilated, does not injure the tenth,

STEELTON
STEEL BUYERS
HOLDING OFF
Active Buying by Government
Causes Private Buyers
to Stop
Active buying of iron and steel prod
ucts by the government. In some cases
with prices stipulated, but for the most
part at prices to be fixed later, is In
contrast with the continued abstention
of private buvers from the market.
There is little dissent from the view
that the present conditions are likely
to last for sometime and that if mean
time some of the price peaks come off
the steel trade will not suffer.^
The Iron Age of today says:
"Along with intimations that the In
quiry into steel-making costs will take
longer than was counted on are signs of
a more reasonable attitude at Wash
ington as to the prices to be paid for
steel products. But the uncertainties
of the situation are enough to' stir up a
good many manufacturing consumers of
steel over exaggerated reports of the
amount of the country's output the
government and Its allies are likely to
require."
"For the most part—there are some
exceptions—steel ma-nufacturers are
quite willing to see the present check
on the long continued bidding of buy
ers for material under the fear that they
could not get enough to continue In
operation.
"Chief of passing developments have
been the buying of 150,000 tonß of rails
by the government for the building of a
double track railroad from its French
port to its battle front, a marked re
duction in output of steel works and
rolling mills due to the extreme heat
In all .producing districts, and the ef
forts of manufacturers in steel and
metal-working lines to have exempted
from conscription enough employees to
hold output of war materials where it
Is.
"The Washington government's rail
road operations in France will be on a
large escale and a vast engineering pro
gram is involved. There will also be
considerable buying of light rails for
portable tracks The standard sections
just bought are 8011b. rails. Either
Bessemer or open-hearth rails will be
accepted, S3B -per gross ton being paid
for the former and S4O for the latter.
For angle bars 3.25 c. was paid, and
for track bolts and nuts 5.50 c. Deliv
eries are to be completed by Oct. 1. The
Steel Corporation took 90,000 U>ns of
the rails and the remainder was di
vided between three companies.' 1

ENGINES CRASH
FIREMAN HURT
Sideswipe Collision in Marys
villc Yards; L. E. Kensler
in the Hospital
Lewis E. Kensler, aged 2 4 years,
fireman in the Marysville yards of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, was badly
scalded this morning. Two big en
gines sideswiped, both turning over.
Kensler was unable to Jump and was
caught by the steam from a burst
pipe. He was taken to the Harris
burg Hospital. While his condition
is serious. It is not thought his i--
juries will prove fatal. He resides
at 204 Main street, Marysville.
Both Engines Turn Over
Engines Nos. 354 and 1134 were
en route to the upper end of the vard
on different tracks. Each engineer
was anxious to make the switch first.
Both engines recahed it at the same

GIRLS FOR DINERS
Denver. Col., Aug. 2.—Pretty girls,
standing behind counters in Pullman
dining cars, will supplant the dusky
waiters, if Alfred Reed, of Chicago,
railroad efficiency expert, can put
over the innovation. Reed's revo
lution in dining car service would
turn all dining cars in the country
into cafeterias on wheels, with wait
resses to assist travelers in choosing
their dishes. The Idea should be pop
ular with the traveling public, as tip
ping would be eliminated and popu
lar prices for food would prevail.

FATE OF AMENDMENT

were preparing to press for 1
prompt consideration there. The

The only change made in the res<
lution as originally reported to tl
Senate was the adoption of a
amendment providing that the coi
stitutional amendment should be ii
operative unless ratified by thre
fourths of the states within six yea
from the date of its submission.
First of Its Kind
The proposed constitution
amendment is the first initiated '
Congress since that providing f
popular election of United Stat
senators, approved in 1911. It
the first time that either bran
of Congress has approved a constit
tional amendment for prohibition,

forts to amend the resolution fail
except for the addition of Senat
Harding's amendment fixing the i
years' time limit within which thr<
fourths of the states must ratify t
amendment to make it effective. Tl
was approved, 56 to 23.
On the final call several senate
said to oppose prohibition voted I
the resolution, desiring, they said,
have the wet and dry battle trai
ferred from the national capitol
the states and prevent prohibit!
propaganda from impending otl
matters before Congress.
A sharp contest was precipitai
over Senator Harding's amendmi
to limit time for state action, but
was supported by both wets a
drys. Senator Borah urged a tl
limit of ten years, but his amei
ment was rejected, 61 to 19.

Every effort was to be made to ci

the decision, but the outlook
favorable action was dark. Wets
clared that only a personal app

action on the resolution would ca
the caucus to reverse Itself. T
was not expected.
