Tells How Thin Folks
Can Put on Flesh
and Get Strong
People who have tried it and
hundreds of people right here in
Harrisburg have done so —say that
if you are weak, thin, nervous, run
down and can't sleep nights, the
quickest, surest and best way to get
strong, put on flesh, have nerves of
steel and be able to sleep well, is
to take a o-grain tablet of Hluod-
Iron Phosphate with every meal. The
almost invariably rcmarltablo bene
fit following the use of niood-Iron
Phosphate is said to be due to the
fact that it does two things—feeds
the nerves and supplies iron to the
blood. So uniformly successful are
the reports from those who have used
it that George A Gorgas as well as
all other leading druggists now sup
ply Hlood-Iron Phosphate under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money
hack. Inasmuch as three weeks'
treatment costs only $1.50 if vou
like it —nothing if it fails—every
weak. thin, nervous, rundown,
anaemic man or woman should begin
the use of llloud-Iron Phosphate to
day and get back on the road to
hPUth, strength and happiness with-
