| £ Why Nuxated Iron Helps | f
| Increase Strength and Energy 1 |
i By Enriching The Blood and Creating Thousands of
New Red Blood Cells, It Often Quickly Trans
forms The Flabby Flesh, Toneless Tissues
and Pallid Cheeks of Weak Anaemic
Men and Women Into a
Glow of Health—
Non Being fiH By Over Three Million People Annually.
There are thousands of men
and women who need a
strength and blood builder,
but do not know what to take.
There is nothing better than
organic iron—Nuxated Iron —
for enriching the blood and
helping to increase the
strength and endurance of
men and women who burn up
too rabidly their nervous en
ergy in the strenuous strain
of the great business compe
tition of the day.
People need more Iron In
their blood than was the case
twenty or thirty years ago.
This because erf tho demln
erallzed diet which now is
served dnily In thousands of
homes, and also because of
the demand for (Ntltr re
sistance necessary to offset
the greater number of health
lazards, to be met at every
turn. Therefore you should
supply the iron deficiency In
your food by using some form
of organic iron, just ns you
would use salt when your food
has not enough salt.
Organic iron Is one of the
greatest of all strength
builders. If people would only
take Nuxated Iron when they
feel weak or run down,-In
stead of dosing themselves
with hnblt-forming drugs,
stimulants, and alcoholic bev
erages, there are probably
thousands who might readily
build up their red blood cor
puscles, Increase their physi
cal energy anil get themselves
Into a condition to ward off
the millions of disease germs
that are almost continually
around us, It Is surprising
how many people suffer from
Iron defficlency and do not
know It.
If you are net strong or
well you owe It to yourself to
make the following test; 8e
how long you ean work or
how far you ean walk with
out becoming tired. Neat,
take two five-grain tablets of
ordinary Nuxated Iron three
times per day after meals for
two weeks, Then test your

The mney will be used to buy ma
terials to be worked into garments.
Miss Blancho Clever, a teacher, is
president of the junior organization,
and secured Mr. Tempest for the re
cital. Miss Clever will complete ar
rangements with Mr. Tempest at a
conference to-morrow afternoon. The
program to be presented by the
musician will be announced next
week.
The ticket sale will open next
week. Admission tickets can be pur
chased from school children or in
Front street stores. Prof. Harclerode
said this morning that he expected
the auditorium will be filled to its
capacity for the recital, as Mr. Tem
pest is well-known to music lovers
in Harrisburg having played for the
Wednesday Club on several occasions
and other Harrisburg organizations.
Ho has not played in Harrisburg for
about two years.

much you have gained. Nerv

iron In the proper form. And
this after they have in some
cases been going on for
months without getting bene

athlete and prizefighter has
won the day simply because
he knew the secret of great
strength and endurance which
comes from having plenty of
Iron in the blood, while many

If you want a true tonic and
blood builder, you should get
a physician's prescription for
organic iron—Nuxated Iron—
or if you don't want to go to
this trouble then purchase
only Nuxated Iron in its ori
ginal package and see that
this particular name (Nuxated
Iron) appears on the pack
age. If you have taken other
Iron preparations and failed
;o get results, remember that
such products are an entirely
different thing from Nuxated
Iron.
NOTE: Nuxated Iron Is not
a secret remedy, but one
which is well known to
druggists everywhere. Unlike
the older Inorganic Iron pro
ducts, it is easily assimilated,
does not Injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset
the stomach. Nuxated Iron Is
not recommended for use In
cases of nc.ute illness, but only
as a tonic, strength and blood
builder. If in doubt as to
whether or not you need a
tonic, ask your doetor, as we
do not wish to sell you Nux
ated Iron If you do not re
quire It. If you should use It

"Oh, I'm no slacker. I don't

still good and they won't have me
around with my fore-finger stiff. I
can convince them I've used my
middle finger from childhood and
then they'll let me go back to the
boys in the Legion."
Scanlon was led into the operation
room. He refused to take an anes

"I've seen enough blood in this

During the past winter she ap
