Wonder what upset your stomach—
which portion of the food did the

keeps the stomach sweetened and
they eat their favorite foods without
fear.

THIS WAR IS THE LEAST
DEADLY ONE EVER KNOWN
Less Than Five Per Cent Die, Ac
cording to Prominent Physician
According to Dr. Woods Hutchin
son, modern medical and surgical
science have made this great war one
of the least deadly ever fought, in
proportion to the numbrs engaged.
In an address before the Royal So
ciety of Medicine Dr. Hutchinson
said: “The doctor’s control over
wqund infections is so masterly that,
of the wounded who survive six
hours, 90 per cent recover; of those
who reach the field hospitals, 95 per
cent recover; and of those who arrive
at the base hospitals, 95 per cent get
well. The twin angels, anaesthetics
and antiseptics have not only enor
mously diminished pain and agony but
made amputations rarer and grave
cripplings fewer than ever before in
war history. Barely 5 per cent of the
wounded are c rippled or permanent
ly disabled.”

ZIRON IRON TONIC
FOR YOUR BLOOD!
-DO YOU NEED IT?
Lack of Iron in the Blood Means Lack of Appetite, Loss
of Energy, Pale Cheeks, and a General Debili
tated Condition of the Entire System.
ZIRON Will Put Iron Into
Your Blood.
Be physically fit! Guard your health as the most prized possession you
have. When you find yourself losing your grip, becoming irritable, nervous,,
weak, anemic, take inventory. See what is wrong!
Your blood probably does not contain sufficient iron. The red corpuscles
may have become diminished, and consequently, your entire system suffers
from insufficient and impoverished blood supply, and the accumulation of
poisonous waste matter.
If you find this to be the case, you will want a remedy that will supply
iron, which will increase the number of red corpuscles. Try ZIRON, the new
Iron Tonic, which contains no alcohol, no habit-forming drugs, and is rec
ommended as a safe, reliable, tonic remedy for men, women and children.
Mrs. Lizzie Pennington, of Adamsville, Ala., writes: “About two weeks
ago I was in bed with an awful bad cold, and I was awful weak. I had taken
purgative medicine, but wanted to try something with iron to see if I couldn’t
get back my strength. My son thought Ziron w'ould help me, so I commenced
it. My nerves generally run down in the Spring and I need something to
build me up.. .When I got some better and was up and around, we commenced
the Ziron and it surely helped me to gain my strength and throw off the"
c01d...1 have used only about a half bottle of Ziron but feel so much better
and stronger that I may not have to take any more for awhile.”
SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist’s
and give it a fair trial, according to directions on the bottle. If, after using
up one bottle, you find it has not benefited you, take the empty bottle b3ck
to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him for it We repay him,
so i.here is no reason why he should not repay you. This offer only applies
to the first trial bottle. '
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes yor
sick the next day; it loses you a dayfo
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straight
ens you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children as well.
