Lloyd-George Disappointed ini
Both the German and Aus
trian Replies to Him and
President Wilson
LONDON. Feb. 12.—“1 read with pro- >
found disappointment the German and |
.Austrian ministers’ replies to President |
Wilson and myself.” declared Premier j
Llovd George in the house of commons I
t vday.
"I am sorry to say 1 see little differ
e ices in their speeches.”
In the house of commons former Fre
ni.er Asquith, commenting on Wil
son’s speech to congress yesterday, said
ti.e president had discriminated justly
in regard to both tone and substance be
tween the declaration of the German
chancellor and the Austro-Hungarian
toreign minister in their utterances re
garding war aims
Mr. Asquith said tt would seem, as
Mr. Wilson remarked, as though the
military party of Germany alone reject
ed and would have nothing to do with
peace based upon the lines which, in
principle at any rate, all the rest of
the world was read?- to accept.
The former premier asserted that I
nothing had been done or left undone j
which had in the least shaken the confi
dence of the nation in Field Marshal
Haig, the commander in France and
Belgium, and General Robertson, chief
of the imperial start at army headquar
ters.
Mr. Lloyd George said the government
siodo by the considered declaration
made at the meetings with the trades
un'on representatives early this year.
The government, he added, did not re
cede in the least from its war aims as
they had been stated. It was no use,
he said, crying peace when there was
no peace.
Regarding the supreme war council,
Mr. Lloyd George said it was impossi
ble to make a statement as to the de
cisions it reached without giving infor- ;
mation to the enemy.
The premier laid he would like any
member to point out anything in the
speeches of Count Czernin or Count vion
HertUng which could possibly be re
garded as proof that the central pow
ers were prepared to make peace on
terms which could be regarded as .just
and reasonable
Germany’s action rggfrding Russia,
the premier pointed out. proved that
her declaration regarding no annexa
tions had no real meaning. No answer
had been given regarding Belgium that
could be regarded as satisfactory, he
declared No answer had been given
regarding Poland or France, with her
legitimate claims for the. restoration of
her lost provinces: not a worb had been
said about the men of the Italian race
and tongue now under the Austrian
yoke.
The premier declared that Germany’s
violation of her engagement not to move
troops from the eastern front had to

The situation had been changed coni-
I pletely by those reinforcements, he as-
I serted.
Upon the decisions of the supreme i
1 war council, the premier reminded the I
house, depended millions of gallant
lives, the honor and safety of the coun
try an dthe war aims upon which the
1 future of the world was dependent. If
I information in this particular were to j
I be given to tl}e enemy, he would prefer ,
I that the responsibility be placed upon
| other shoulders.
Mr. Llyod George said he rejoiced In
i repudiating any personal imputation
and that he desired to withdraw any-
I thing which seemed to support such a
suggestion.
LONDON. Feb. 12.—1 n his speech at !
the opening of parliament today King
George said the struggle had reached a I
critical stage which demanded more ;
than ever the full use of the coun- j
j try’s energies and resources.
Until recognition is offered of the
only principles upon which an honorable
i peace can be concluded, the king declar
ed. It is the duty of vne British to
prosecute the war with ail the vigor
they possess.
Following is the king's speech:
“My Lords and Gentlemen: .The
necessities of war render it impera
tive for me. after but a brief inter
val. to summon you again to your
deliberations'. The sums for which
I and my allies are contending were
recently set forth by my govern
ment in a statement which received
the emphatic approval of my peo
ples throughout the empire, and
provided a fair basis for settle
ment of the present struggle and
re-establishment of national rights
and international peace in the fu
ture. »
“The German government has.
however, ignored our just demands
that it should make restitution for
the wrongs it has committed and
furnish guarantees against their un
provoked repetition. Its spokesmen
refuse any obligations tor them
selves while denying rightful lib
erties of others. Until a recognition
is offered of the only principles on
which an honorable peace can be
concluded it is our duty to prose
cute the war with all the vigor we
possess.”
“I have full confidence that my
forces in the field, in close co-oper
ation with those of niy faithful
allies, will continue to display the
same heroic courage hnd people at
home the same unselfish devotion,
that have already frustrated so
many of the enemy’s designs and
will insure the ultimate triumph of
the righteous cause.
“1 have summoned representatives
of my dominions and my Indian
empire to a further session of the
imperial war cabinet in order that I
may again receive their advice on
questions of moment afTecting the
common interests of the empire.
“Gentlemen of the house of com
mons you will be asked to make
suitable provisions for the require
ments of the combatant services
and for the stability of our na
tional finance.
”My lords and gentlemen, the
struggle in which we are engaged
has reached a critical stage which
demands more than ever our united
energies and resources. I con
fidently commend to your patriotism
the measures which will be submit
ted to you and I pray that the Al
mighty may bestow His blessings
on your labors."
Many American soldiers and officers
were in the crowds that lined the route
of the royal party’s approach to the
i houses of parliament. Four erriages
■ started from Buckingham palace, escort-
■ed by cavalry. The streets were lined
I With special constables instead of the
I usual soldiers. Americans in the crowd
—many of them getting their first
glimpse of royalty—joined in the cheer
ing.
The king, attired ina plain uniform,
read the speech from the throne in the
house of lorda after as many members
of the house of commons as could be
accommodated had been admitted.
Members of both houses of par
liament as embled early today for
the opening of the eighth session
of the longest parliament In mod
ern times—a session which is virtually
certain to be the last and which will be
followed by a general election upon ex-

I for the first time in the country’s his
' fory.
King George, accompanied by the queen
and the Prince of Wales, performed
the opening ceremony at noon in the ab
sence of the customary spectacular fea
tures. It was decided that in view of
the war the peers and peeresses will
not wear their gorgeous titular robes
and coronets, while the naval and mili
tary members of both houses will wear
the service dress instead of the flashy
gold-laced full-dress uniforms.
After the king reads his speech and
their majesties have left the house of
lords an address replying to the speech
will be moved in both houses—a for
mality which gives one of the chief op
portunities for debate in any session.
The proceedings on this occasion prob
ably will be full of Interest and impor
tance and may cover the whole field of
war effort. Political circles have .been
, buzzing the past few days with various
I rumors, showing that severe criticism
of the’ government is to be expected in
the debate. One rumor is to the effect
that a hostile amendment condemning
! the government may be moved from the
I front opposition bench.
■ Complaints that ministers have inter
fered with the military cniefs have
been resuscitated recently and voiced
'outspokenly in a section of the press
This subject will be brought to debate
in association with the demand for an
explanation of the enlargement of the
powers of the supreme war council at
I the recent meeting at Versailles.
In this connection it will be recalled
that former Premier Asquith la~st week
propounded a question regarding the
supreme war council and it is under
stood he will bring up this topic again.
It is assumed Premier Lloyd George
will reply with an appropriate state
menL
Before the conclusion of the debate,
| which may continue for two or three
'days, the radical and labor members
will again urge their views regarding
war aims and i«eace *by negotiation.
They may also move an amendment
criticizing the policy of the Versailles
council, whose official statement re
ferred to vigorous prosecution of the
war as the only immediate task of the
allies, and regretting that the door was
thus closed to peace conversations. A
joint allied statement of war aims may
aJso be demanded.
The submarine menace, food rationing
, and the dispute with the engineers re
garding the extension of compulsory
imilitary service are. among the other
topics which various members hope to
raise, but as the government aims to
have the vote on the motion concern
ing the address in reply to the king’s
speech taken on Thursday at the latest,
' it is probable the debate will be re-
Istricted.

BLOODIEST FIGHTING
OF Wifi MEM. SWS
CHARLES E. RUSSELL
Lecturer Says Huns Hope to
Crush Italy, Invade France
From South and Bring Allies
to Knees by July
The next thirty days will see the
bloodiest fighting or the wai, tn the
opinion of Charles Edward Russell, not
ed lecturer and writer, who was in At
lanta Tuesday.
Within that time, says Mr. Russell.
Germany, will launch her long-heralded
offensive simultaneously on both the |
western and Italian fronts. Her hope I
i« to crush Italy, invade France from |
the south and before July bring the al- :
lies to bay on the fringe of France.
If Germany consummates her plans,
she will then offer a German peace to
the United States, says Mr. Russell; but :
if peace is declared, the United States I
ten years from now will face the sit
uation of Germany dominating Canada
on the north, Germany dominating Mex
ico on the south, and Germany threaten
ing to invade the United States and i
achieve the German dream of world em- |
pire that shall be as omnipotent as was 1
ever Rome in the days of Caesar.
But one thing can stop this calamity,
declares Mr. Hussell—fdr thte United
States and her allies to pdt into the
conflict every ounce of men and money
and fight the war undauntedly to a vic
torious finish, though it takes years
and untold cost in blood and treasure.
Mr. Russell is considered an authority
on the war. Since the beginning of the
struggle, he has studied it in intricate
detail, his writings in the newspapers
and magazines attracting widespread at
tention. Especially has he turned his
attention to Russia. He accompanied
the Root mission from America to Rus
sia and is exceedingly weAl posted on
Russian affairs, particularly the Bol
shevik.
The news dispatch from Amsterdam
Monday to the effect that the Russian
armies have peen ordered demobilized,
Mr. Russell characterized als ’’important
if true.” Amsterdam dispatches he
places little faith in, but in this case,
the truth seems to have neen told, since
later advices confirm the demobiliza
tion order.
In any event, Mr. Russell says that
Russia is absolutely out of the va.tr
for the time being, anyway, more “out
of it,” in fact, than she has been at
any other time. He sees a gleam of
hope, however, in the fact that the Bol
sheciki, now in control, are not the ma
jority party in Russia. The great- ma
jority of the Russian people, he says,
are anti-Bolshevik. Granting that the
demobilization order is true, he says
that it is likely to lead to a revolt in the i
ranks of the Bolsheviki, foj it means
that their leaders have thrown over
board their principles of no annexa
tions and no indemnities and have given
Germany unconditional surrender. With
such a revolt and with the majority
of the people opposed to Bolshevik rule,
their power cannot continue. Civil war
is coming in Russia, says Mr. Russell, i
Whether it will be of any avail to the I
allies, depends, he says, on whether the |
party that ousts the Bolsheviki sees In |
Germany the deadliest enemy to Russian
democracy and resumes the war. Such a
situation, he says, is conceivable, but not
probable.
Evon should this come to pass, Mr.
Russell says it will not help the allies
in their most critical hour, which is al
ready upon them. Germany, he declares,
was never stronger or more confident,
and the peace with Russia will increase
this strength ’and confidence many
fold, for it will release for fighting 1,-
500.000 German prisoners in Russia and*
give Germany vast resources in food. I
To Overrun Framce •
“Germany now has the greatest army
in her history, preparing to launch its '
full force.” said Mr. Russell. “The blow
will come within thirty days and it will
be a double blow, aimed at France and
England on the west and at Italy to the
south. Germany is banking hard on an
Italian victory. Before the snow melts,
she intends to loose the powers that
shall crush Italy. Even a partial vic
tory in Italy—the taking of Venice—
will give her what she wants—a foot
hold on the Adriatic. With Venice under
her heel, Germany can send an invadipg
army into Italy from the south while
she hammers on the western front. She
plans to overrun France and bring the
allies to*their knees b<Vore July.”
More than anything else. Mr. Russell
declares the United States should realize
the peril that confronts her.
“Congress must see this! Congress
must realize it and cease this potter
and dodder that has been hampering the
progress of the war ever since we got
in it. Congress has given no assistance
whatever to the winning of the war
since war began. It’s high time congress
woke up and became a servant and not
a constant handicap to America.”
Mr. Russell advanced the opinion that
America's plans for the war must go
forward on a far bigger scale than ever,
if the war 13 to be won. Even if 500,000
troops are in France by spring, he says,
this will be but a drop in the bucket.
Millions are needed, he declared, and
they are needed now. *

Declares—Hertling Will Re

ZURICH, Feb. 13.—The “seriousness I
of the internal situation in Austria must

blatt declares, in copies received here
today.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13. (Summary of
European Cables.)—Facts are known in
London, the Daily News says, which
bring closer the possibility of a sepa
rate. peace between Austria-Hungary and
'.he entente. Austria is said r.o look
with disfavor on sending her soldiers
against the troops of the United States
and Great Britain.
Count von Hertling. the imperial Ger
man chancellor, it is reported unofficial
ly, will answer President Wilson’s ad
dress to congress in the German reichs
tag next Tuesday. President Wilson
saw a difference between the chancellor’s
recent statement and that of Count
Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign
minister, and declared that Count von
Hertling had not withdrawn from his
position that peace should be made on
Germany’s terms. 1
Challenged to move want of confi
dence in his government by Premier
Lloyd George the British house of com
mons yesterday failed to take such ac
tion. Criticism of the Versailles coun
cil and the premier’s attitude concern
ing it, was voiced in house by for
mer Premier Asquith and other speak
ers. As to reports that Field Marshal
Haig and General Robertson had been
dismissed or had resigned spokesmen for
the government denied the truth of
such statement's.
Premier Lloyd George in the house
and King George in an address to par
liament asserted nd basis for a demo
cratic peace could be found in recent
statements of leaders of the central
powers. The premier said he could
see no difference in substance between '
the recent utterances of Chancellor von !
Hertling and Count Czernin. Before the
Italian parliament, Premier Orlando has
declared that Italy will fight on until
victory is achieved.
There is yet no Indication that mih
tary operations on the western front are
about to be resumed on a large scale.
Attempts by raiding parties are growing
stronger, especially on the French front
near Verdun and in the Woevre, but
ther have been no attacks in force.
Sometime in March, according to a
German prisoner, the Germans will at
tack on the British front. He did not
know if a general offensive would be
begun then, but there is marked activ- 1
ity behind the German lines. The
weather in the British front continues
favorable and the flelds and roads are
drying fast.
Harmony Needed Between
President and George
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—That closer
harmony must be attained between the
United States and England In the mat
ter of *political offensives against the
central empires is the growing \"ierw of
experts here today. For the second time
President Wilson and Lloyd-George are
not in full accord and the result may
be such as to hamper President Wil
son's work —work which. Liberals say,
is more far-sighted than the blunt
Lloyd-George and Versailles war coun
cil dismissal of the Czernin and Hert
ling terms.
The gulf between Lloyd-George and
the president—probably both would
deny that their differences of view
amount to a gulf—undoubtedly had its
inception in the president’s drive for a
statement of war aim. Lloyd-George
wasn't receptive at first. Lord Lands
downe and the British labor party, how
ever. forced hirn to make the statement.
Right there Lloyd-George made utter
ances anent Russia which failed
to square with President Wilson’s al
truistic views.
The British leader practically told
Russia she could go shift for herself.
To rid Russia of the sting of those
remarks, President Wilson hurried to
congress, spoke directly to Russia and
England, and declared Russia’s difficul
ties put her allies to ’’the real test of
friendship.”
Since then has come the. Versailles
war council wtih its warriors and alle
ed statesmen —but no American states
man. That body brusquely decided that
Hertling and Czernin had said nothing
that required any answer but a dose of
iron and lead and promptly pronounced
this view to the world.
President did not agree. He went to

Governor Dorsey Awards Two
Million-Dollar Contract
to Local Financiers
r
The contract for the governor's war
rants for the payment of the state
sejiool teachers was let Wednesday aft
ernoon to five Atlanta banks which sub
mitted a joint bid. The discount specified
in the bid was at a rate of 5.74.
The banks submitting the joint bid
were the Atlanta National bank, the
Fourth National bank* the Third Nation
al bank, the Lowry NationaJ bank and
the Trust Company of Georgia, Only
one other bid was submitted, that being
from the Bankers’ Trust company, of
New York, which, besides stipulating a
discount rate of 5.82, attached a num
ber of other conditions.
The warrants will total about $2,000,-
000. Os this sum, about $400;000 worth
will be ready for discount this month.
Following the award of the script,
the 'following statement was issued by
Gox’ernor Dorsey:
•’Governor Dorsey found only two
bidders today for the teachers’ war
rants. The Bankers Trust Company of
New York offered a rate of 5.82 per
cent. A lower rate of 5.74 per cent was
presented by five Atlanta institutions,
as follows: The Atlanta National bank,
the Fourth National bank, the Lowry
National bank, the Third National
bank artd the Trust Company of Geor
gia.
"This bid was accepted, and even
though it is higher than the rate ob
tained before, ft is considered the belt
that can be done in view of the present
state of the money market. As seen,
these five Atlanta banks patriotically
came to the help of the teachers in the
emergency. It was thought best to
accept this bid for the entire sum of
$2,000,000 and to have the help of the
Fourth National bank in this, instead
of the offer of this institution for a
small part of it at a rate of 4.5 per
cent for a short term.”

has answered all that in advknce, but
the British tone is not destined to be

Physicians Explain Why Women Need More I
Iron in their Blood Today than 20 Years Ago
Say Anaemia—Lack of Iron is Greatest Curse to the Health, Strength, Vitality and Beauty
of the Modern American Woman
DB. rERDIKAKD KING, New York
Physician and Medical author, says
physicians should prescribe more or
ganic Iron—Nuxated Iron—to supply
the iron deficiency. Opinions of Dr,
Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon,
St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York
City; Dr. H. B. Vail, foijnerly Physi
cian in the Baltimore Hospital and a
Medical Examiner; Dr. James Francis
Sullivan, formerly Physician of Belle
vue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New
York, and the Westchester County
Hospital, and other physicians who
have thoroughly tested the value of
Nuxated Iron.
Any woman who tires easily, is nerv
ous or irritable, or looks pale, haggard,
and worn should at once have her blood
examined for iron deficiency—adminis
tration of simple Nuxated Iron will
often increase the strength and endur
ance of weak, nervous, careworn women
100 per cent in two weeks’ time.
•
"There can be no strong, healthy, beautiful,
rosy-cbeeked women, without iron.” says Dr.
Ferdinand King, a New Y ork Physician and
Medical Author. “In my recent talks te physi
cians on the grave and serious consequences
of iron deficiency in the Jdood of American
women I have strongly emphasized the fact that
doctors should prescribe more organic iron—
nuxated iron—for their nervous, rundown,
weak, haggard-looking women patients. Pallor
means anaemia. The skin of an anaemic wom
an is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack
tone, the brain fags, and the memory fails, and
often they become weak, nervous, irritable, <le
spendent and melancholy. When the iron
goes front the blood of women the roses go
from their cheeks.
“In the most common food of America, the
starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polish
ed rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits,
macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, fariua. de
germinated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be
found. Refining processes lave removed the
iron of Mother Earth from these impoverisben
foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by
throwing down the waste pipe the water in
which our vegetables are cooked, are responsi
ble for another grave iron loss. Therefore, if
you wish to preserve your youthful vim ana
vigor to a ripe old age you must supply the
iron deficiency in your food by using some
form of organic iron just as you would use salt
when ycur food has not enough salt.”
Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of
St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, New York’ (’ity, said:
••I have never before given out any medical
information or advice for publication as I or
dinarily do not believe in it. But so many
American women suffer from iron deficiency
with its attendant ills—physical weakness, ner
vous irritability, melancholy, indigestion, flab
by, sagging muscles, etc., etc., and in conse
quence.' of their weakened, run-down condition

troops from that camp be taken pend

Secretary Baker told members of the

Camp Greene at Charlotte, N. C.. later in

Camp Wheeler, Georgia. The war depart
ment had determined not to make use of
the Camp Greene site after the regular
army troops now training there have
been sent forward for embarkation. A
report of the medical corps shows con

the camp, although there is no imme

NASTY MEDICINES
BAD FOR CHILDREN
It is not often a child requires medicine of
eny kind. If the bowels are regular and prompt
ly dispose of undigested matter discarded by
tbc stomach, the general health is very apt to
be excellent. In any cas<> pills, powders, and
nauseating or unpalatable compounds, should
never be given to children. Any therapeutic vir
tue such remedies may possess is largely nulli
fied by the youngsters’ natural antagonism.
For most children a mild laxative, administer
ed occasionally, is all that is needed to assure
normal regularity and good health. Dr. Cald
xvell’a Syrup Pepsin is a pleasant-tasting combi
nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
tree from opiate or narcotic drugs, and acts
gently yet effectively; children like it and take
so that it is the Ideal remedy for the
Ismily medicine chest. It is sold in drag stores
for fifty cents a bottle. A trial bottle, free of
cl argc, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.
Caidwell, 425 Washington St., Monticello, IlM
ncis, for whom this advertisement .is published.

they are eo liable to contract seriius and even
fatal diseases that I deem it my duty to ad
vlsy such to take Nuxated Iron. I have taken
it myself and given it to my patients with most
surprising and satisfactory results. And those
who wish quickly to increase their strength,
power and endurance will find it a most re
markable and wonderfully effective remedy.”
Dr. H. B. Vail, formerly Physician in the
Baltimore Hospital and a Medical Examiner,
says: "Throughout my experience on Hospital
staffs and as Medical Examiner, I have been
astonished at the number of patients who have
vainly doctored for various diseases, when in i
reality their delicate, run-down state was sim- ■
ply the result of lack of iron in the blood.
Time and again I have prescribed organic iron
—Nuxated Iron—and surprised patients at the
rapidity with which the weakness and general
debility were replaced by a renewed feeling of
strength and vitality. I took Nuxated Iron mj
self to build me up after a serious case of ner
vous exhaustion. The effects were apparent
after a few ,days and within three weeks it
had virtually revitalized my whole systeuj and
put me in a superb physical condition."
Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician, who has
studied both in this country and in great Eu
ropean Medical Institutions, says: “I am a
great believer in Nuxated Iron, it often acts
almost like magic. Not long ago a man came
to me who was nearly half a century old and
asked me to give him a preliminary examina
tiou for life insurance. I was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure of a boy of
20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a
young man: in fact, a young man he really
was, notwithstanding his age. The secret, be
said, was in taking iron—Nuxated Iron had
filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was
in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and near
ly all in—now at 50, after taking Nuxated Iron,
a miracle of vitality and his face beaming
with the buoyancy of youth.”

NO STOMACH FUN,
GAS. INDIGESTION
IN FIVE MINUTES
“Pape’s Diapepsin” is the
best antacid and stomach
regulator known
"Really does” put upset stomachs in
order—“really does” overcome Indiges
tion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and sour
ness due to acid fermentation in five
minutes —that—just that—makes Pape’s
Diapepsin the largest selling stomach
antacid regulator in the world. If
what you eat ferments and turns sour,
you belch gas and eructate undigested
food or water: head is dizzy' and aches;
breath foul; tongue coated; your in
sides filled with indigestible waste, re
member the moment “Pape’s Diapepsin”
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress vanishes. It’s truly aston
ishing—almost marvelous, and the joy
is its harmlessness.
A large fifty-cent case of Pape’s Dia
pepsin is worth its weight in gold to
men and women who can’t get their
stomachs regulated. It belongs in your
home—should always be kept handy in
case of a sick, sour, upset stomach dur
ing the day or at night. It's the quick
est, surest antacid for the stomach in
the world.—(Advt.)

Dr. F. E. GRANT CO.. DepL?4s Kansas Qty, Mo.
York, and the Westchestqr County Hospital,
says: “Thousands of persons go on suffering
year after year, doctoring themselves for all
kinds of ills, when the real and true cause
underlying their condition is simply a lack of
sufficient iron in the red blood corpusclea to
enable nature to transform the food they eat
into brawn, muscle, tissue and brain. But be
ware of the old forms of metallic iron which
frequently do more harm than good.
“Notwithstanding all that has been said and
written on this subject by well-known physi
cians, thousands of people still insist in dosing
themselves with metallic iron simply, I suppose,
because it costs a few cents less. - I strongly
advise readers in all cases, to get a physt
, dan'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 original
packages and see that this particular name
(Nuxated Iron* appears on the ]tackage. If you
have taken preparations raeh as Nux and Iron
and other similar Iron products and failed to
get results, remember that such products are
an entirely different thing fro* Nuxated Iron ’
NOTK—Nuxated Iron, which is prescribed an'i
recommended above by physicians in lueb n
great variety of cases, is not a patent mediclir
nor secret remedy, but one whicn is well known
to. druggists and whose Iron constituents are
widely prescribed by eminent physicians both i •
Europe and America. Unlike the older inor
ganic iron products, it is easily assimilated,
does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor
upset the stomach; on the contrary, it Is a
most potent remedy in nearly all forma of indi
gestion as well as for nervous, run-down condi
tions. The manufacturers have such great coi>-
fidence in nuxated iron that they offer to for
feit $106.00 to any charitable institution if they
cannot take any man or woman unaer 60 who
lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per
cent, or over in four weeks' time, provided they
have no serious organic trouble. They also
offer to refund your money If It rloea not at
least double your strength and endurance in tea
days’ time. It is dispensed in this city by all
good druggists.— (Advt.)
