Why Iron is One of the
GREATEST OF ALL
STRENGTH BUILDERS
Says: He has found nothing
in liis experience so effective for
helping to make strong, healthy,
red-blooded women as Nnxated
Iron.
Every woman who wishes to
possess health, strength and
beauty, should carefully read the
statement of Miss McKinley who,
after her personal use of Nuxated
Iron tells of the results she ob
tained.
Miss McKinley says: "While I
had often heard of Nuxated Iron
I must admit that prior to using
it myself I had no idea of its
remarkable value for building up
the health and strength.
"Following the strain imposed
by months of the most, exacting
work singing for the soldiers in
the various army encampments
together with my social engage
ments and charitable pursuits, I
found myself in such a weakened,
run-down state that I feared a
complete collapse.

for me to drop everything and go
away for a complete rest, but I
realized 1 that as my condition was
serious I must either do this or
And something that would actual
ly rebuild my waning strength
and enablo me to continue my
activities.
"I had always been prejudiced
against tonic preparations which,
for the most part, I found only
acted as a temporary stimulant and
usually left one worse oft than ever,
However, when my own family physi
cian Insistently recommended that I
give a* fair trial to Nuxated Iron, I
consented to begin its use, with a
result that after a few days the
weakness and exhaustion from whioh
I suffered began to be replaced by a
feeling of renewed strength and
vitality. In less than three weeks'
timo my whole system was tingling
with energy and power and I was
overjoyed to And that I was once
more in superb physical condition,
"Nuxated Iron has accomplished so
much for me that I regard It as the
Ideal tonlo for all weak, run-down
Women, A a strength, health and
blood-builder, I am convinced Nuxat
