This narrative, unique in the annals of the sea, is the ex
clusive property of W. R. Hearst, as far as the American rights
are concerned. After publication serially in the Sunday Amer
ican it will be issued in book form by Hearst’'s International Li

We proceeded thus during the en

the distance —as betrayed by their
smoke; but these we avolded by a
change of course above water after
carefully getting their bearings and
observing what course they were fol

A computation of this sort, as luck
would have it, happened to prove of
the greatest importance to us shortly
after, and—-as you shall see— It was

Toward evening the weather had
cleared a little, and even the sea had
grown quieter. The sun went down

They made a remarkable picture in
their rough and heavy sea clothes,
and looked like a swarm of bees—a
grapelike cluster of tangled human
forms. Not much etiquette was ob

Their job was a hard one down be

stick his head out of the manhole in
order to have a few whiffs of his pipe,
1 gladly granted him the brief en
joyment,
All eyes were now engaged In
gearching the horfzon, This was a
good thing, for the more eyes there
are peeled the more the ship sees.
Some of the men had eyes like
hawks.
We saw two masts come bobbing
up to Sort in the translucent twilight
of this June evening. A smokestack
followed, and soon the hull of a
steamer loomed above the horizon.
With the aid of our powerful prism
glasees we were able to keep her un
der close observation.
We decided to fix her course, so
as to be able to avoid her, yet re

chart.
Stranger Heads for Rocks.
1 studied this, made comparisons,
took another observation, made cer
tain calculations, and once again re
ferred to the chart. I was stunned.
The course this steamer was taking
would never lead her into any port!
How could this be possible?
She was steering directly for the
coast—heading for the rocks!
1 summoned Krapohl and showed
him my figures. We once more took
the steamer under observation with
our glasses and compared the chart—
everything tallied. The fellow was
bound straight for nothingness!
In the meantime we had approach
ed close enough to enable us to dis
tinguish her clearly. The June eve
ning was still so clear and bright
that we could remark everything with
great ease
She was a fine steamer, of mid
dling =ize, carried a large neutral
flag, and was conspicuously painted
with the same colors along her sides.
In the middle of her length she bore
a long, double name, which we could
not yet make out.
Flying Neutral Colors.
Suddenly lgropohl sang out:
v “Donnerwetter! YHow does it hap
pen that this fellow is still flying his
colors so long after sundown? Can
that be mere accident? And there's
something suspicious about the way
that paint is laid on! The rascal
looks queer to me!” |
1 was forced to agree. | was par
ticularly suspicious about the sense
less course the ship was taking. One
doesn’'t go promenading for pleasure
around the reaches of the North Sea
in the midst of & world war!
We consulted as to what action to
take. The steamer apparently had
not yet seen us. She pursued her
mysterious course and was already a
trifle off our stern.
1 therefore decided not to dive,
since our two courses would take us
far apart,
Thought U-Boat Fighter.
Suddenly the steamer made a sharp
turn and came directly toward us.
We were now able to see that this
good neutral had alse swung his
boats, naturally in order to establish
still further his characater as a
harmless merchantman who was
ready for all contingencies and quite
willing to obey all the orders of a
fighting submarine.
We were sufficiently satisfled with
this most ingratiating endeavor to
please, 1 sent all men below decks
and at once sounded the alarm. We
prepared to dive, and made a turn
toward the steamer, so as to lie cross
to the seas, as this facilitates getting
‘under water.
~ And now, to our great astonish
‘ment, we observed the following: The
neutral steamer had hardly seen us
make one turn and prepare to dive
than she made a guick move and al
’temd her course.
And as we sank beneath the sur
face we saw her vomiting clouds of
smoke and making for the distance in
a :Icu{‘ course!
-Boat Crew Amused.
This confession of an uneasy con
science was overwhelming evidence
for us. We roared with laughter over
the flight of this jolly “neutral™ with
the mysterious course.
The crafty fellow knew that the
game was up. He naturally took us
for a war submarine, and was fear
ful of gelting a torpedo betvwuen nis
ribs during the next few mormnents.
He must have been boiling with
rage. It would have been ;o leas
ant to come up close to the ‘pest”
under the guise of a “neutra)’ and
then at a safe distance to diop his
porthole covers and his harmle s col
org and to let iy at us with shells.
The U-boat trap had been prettily
prepared —the German “pirate” need
only have coiae a trifle closer!
Submerged Two Heurs. |
Instead of accommodating our
friend the enemy, we made our bow |

two hours had elapsed. I firdt search

That, as you will agree, is, under
the circumstances, a great deal, ;

Head Downward in the North Sea. I
1 had decided to proceed submerged |
under electric power during the dark- |
est hours of the following night—that |
is, between 11 and 1 o'clock.
.~ When we made our dive during the
dusk of the long summer day there
was still little wind. But a high swell
was flowing—a sure sign that in a
few hours the storm would come
lashing along. i
About 2 a. m. 1 gave orders to rise|
and was soon aware, by the invroas-‘
ingly wild movements of the boat, that |
the storm had come and that a still
heavier sea was accompanying it, }
Our craft made regular leaps and‘
capers. Nevertheless, we calmly bl»w|
out our tanks and came up in fine
fashion, '
Seas Smother Periscope. ‘
As soon as the periscope projected 1|
tried to obtain a view of things ahnve.‘
But it was impossible to see a thing,
as the periscope cut into thick hills nt!
water every few moments. In addi- |
tion to this, the cold, gray dawn llght!
made the waves that came wallowing |
along appear still larger and more sin- i
ister than usual.
So we emerged completely above the |
surface. I climbed upon the turret in|
order to have a proper look over thol
madly waltzing seas.
A pretty bit o' weather! All nro.pndr
us in the livid glow of the dawn a
veritable witch's kettle of impossibly
monstrous mountains of water crown
ed with foam, which the wind blew off |
in the shape of briny dust and dmve‘
hissing through the air. The boat la
bored heavily head on, and now and |
again fell violently away.
Among Hills of Seas.
The entire deck was, of course,
flooded. Every few seconds a sea came
lurching against the turret and burst
over me in dense showers of spray.
I clung to the parapet of the “baht
tub” and searched the horizon—a most
remarkable horizon of heavy hills of
water which went sliding in and out
like the wing pieces in a stage set
ting.
I was just about to order the Diesel
engines to be switched on—when I
gave a start., What was that—that
dark line there? Was it a trail of
smoke?
But it was already blocked out by
a billow which shoved Itself between
the ashen heavens and the heaving
sea. .- - -
I watched and walted and stared
through my glass until my eyes be
g% to ache, * v ¢
There it was again! No doubt of it
—it was a glimmer of smoke; and
there!—thin as a needle—a masthead!
1 Lad got it centered in my glass.
Bi?hn a Destroyer. |
And then! as I bored my eyes into
the glass—something came heaving up
out of the valleys of the sea—a dark,
drab thing—with smoke hanging about
it—and four squat smokestacks,
. - -
“Donnerwetter—a destroyer!”
I made one jump into the turret and
slammed the cover fast.
. “Alarm! Dive quickly! Flood!”
“Set diving rudder!™
“Twenty meters depth!”
The commands were uttered in al
most one breath. But the execution
of them!
To attempt to dive with such a sea
running was sheer madness, as expe
rience has taught us/ What was 1 to
do? The destroyer might have seen
us already!
Well, we knew we must get under—
and as qulickly as possible.
The men In the central below me
were working away in silent haste. All
the exhausts were opened wide, the
compressed air hissed from the tanks
-—the diving vents were chanting in
all possible keys.
Loath to Take Deep Dive.
1 stood with my lips pressed to
gether and stared out of the turret
window upon the tossing sea and
watched for the first sign of our go
ing down. But our deck remained
s'ill visible and we were continually
lifted into the air by some wave,
There was not a moment to be lost.
1 ordered the diving rudder to be
set still more sharply and both en
gines to drive ahead with full power.
The whole vessel quivered and
thrilled under the increased pressure
of the engines and made several leaps.
She staggered about in the furious
seas, b}n still seemed loath to leave
the surface.
Then she gave a jerk and her bows
suddenly dipped and cut into the flood.
She began to sink into the depths at
an ever-increasing angle.
The coming dayvlight vanished from
the windows of the turret, the mano
eter in rapid succession showed 23—
6--10 meters depth. But the angle of
the boat also began to increase.

Down in the central the men were
hanging on to the hand wheels of the
diving rudder, A few terrible sec
mds passed thus,
We had not yet seized the full sig
nificance of this new situation when
there came a severe shock. We were
Lurled to the floor, and everything
that was not fastened down went fly
ing in all directions,
We found ourselves in the queerest
attitudes—and stared into one anoth
er's faces. There was a grim sllence
for a moment, then First Officer
Kraphol remarked, dryly:
“Well, we seem to have arrived!”
This broke the ghastly tension.
Awful Suspense Near End.
We were all rather pale around the
gills, but at once tried to get our
bearings.
What had happened?
What had caused this unnatural in
clination of the boat? And why were
the engines above ug raving at inter
vals in a way that made the whole
boat roar from stem to stern?
Before any of us had arrived at any
solution of the mystery our chief en
gineer, little Klees, had jumped up
from his crouching position, and,
swift as lightning, had swept the en
gine signal dial around te “Stop!”
And suddenly there was a deep Si
lence.
We slowly assembled our proper
legs and arms and thought hard over
what had happened.
The vessel had slanted down to
ward th- Yows at an angle of about
36 degre«s
£he was standing, so to speak, on
her head. Our bow was fast upon
tne bottom of the sea—our stern was
still oscillating up and down like a
mighty pendulum. The manometer
siiowed a depth of about fifteen me
ters
Stern a Target for Foe.
I soon had a clear picture of our
situation—it was far from cheering.
According to the chart, we should
have some 31 meters depth at this
spot. But the steep slant of the long
vessel must have caused the stern to
go raking above the surface for a
considerable distance.
This would furnish a splendid tar
get for an enemy destroyer. As long
as the engines still ran, the follow
ing must also have occurred: I
Every time the hollow of a wave
raced over us the propellers raced in
empty air part of the time, and no
doubt increased our powers of attrac
tion by flinging up fountains of water
and whirls of foam.
Klees had at once recognized this
by the racing of the motors, and his
presence of mind had at least obviat
ed the more immediate p. il
Nevertheless, we had betrayed our
resting place by a self-made little
storm, and so we expected to hear the
crash of a shell at any moment—
smashing into the high-uprearing and
outstanding stern overhead.
Screws Fail to Betray.
More seconds passed—under a ter
rific strain.
But aothing happened. The screws
were no longer able to betray us. It
was not yet full daylight overhead,
and it was possible that the furious
sea gave the destroyer enough to
bother about.
Of course, we at once hastened tol
get out of this idiotic fix, The boat
had remained quite watertight, and
had sustained the heavy shock with
out the slightest damage. So every
thing proceeded according to pro
gram.
The after-tanks, which had not yet
been entirely exhausted of air, were
swiftly flooded, and so, bit by bit, the
boat began to assume a more reason
able attitude.
Still, she by no means lay horizon
tal as yet—for she had struck her
nose too deeply into the mud for that,
Nevertheless, we were now completely
under water, and could proceed quiet- |
ly with our work. ‘
The forward tanks were emptied of
a part of their contents. Thus by
balancing and trimming with the
tanks we finally managed to get the
bows clear of the bottom.
Begins to Rise at Last.
We now began to rise, but were at
once obliged to offset the inclination
to oscillate caused by the full aft
tanks. After a time the center of
gravity was again restored and 1
once more had the Deutschland well
in hand.
We now also had time to consider
what had caulqti this sudden buck
ling on the part of our usually so
well-behaved boat. This must have
been due to a whole chain of circum
stances.
Quite apart from the difficulty of
submerging a large submarine in a
high-running sea, it was possible that
the tanks, owing to the haste induced
by the presence of the destroyer, had
not been quite freed of air.
Added to this must be the sudden
dynamic force exerted by the diving
rudder, which, in combination with
the full force of the engines and the
crushing weight of a particularly
heavy sea, had given the boat this
dangerous slant. :

We were in a position similar to
that of a dirigible balloon which
steers for the earth at too steep an
angie just before landing, and which
{s furthermore crushed to the ground
with double force owing to a sud
den downward blast of air,
Of course, the wonderful material
of our steel outer hull withstood the
shock without damage. It is, how
ever, possible that the bottom of the
North Sea sustained some slight
damage in latitude x degrees north
and in longitude x degrees east
One thing appears remarkaole o
me, as I now strive to recollect what
my impressions were as we rushed at
full speed downward in the depths at
an angle of 35 degrees—my first

- Was it well stored? Might it not be

wholly instinctive, odd as this may
seem, for the Old Adam which has
once got hold of the captain of a big
fat liner is not easily shaken off, even
when he steps aboard a submarine.
CHAPTER VI.
“Westward Ho!"”
We had had enocugh of the North
Sea. And now we were about to strike
for the outer reaches-—for the “open
seal”
As to our course, everything, thank
heaven, was certain! Less certain,
to be sure, were the things that wmight
happen to us upon that course. We
were hound to encounter various lit
tle surprises,
But what is the use of voyaging in
a submarine if you are not ready to
evade surprises-——and to evade them
with a good chance of success? We
thought of the numbers of war sub
marines which had been successful in
reaching the outer seas. And these
fighting brethren of gurs had a cer
tain number of difficult duties to ful
fill enroute—whereas he had mere
(ly to avoid being seen, and to slip
through with a whole hide.
Feared Destruction.
The first duty imposed upon us was,
of course, not so much to avold being
seen as to avoid being recognized as
a merchant U-boat.
The peculiar nature of our gallant
little Deutschland as an unarmed,
peaceful merchant vessel would not
have protected us a moment from be-‘
ing sunk instantly without warning.
Of this were were absolutely con-!
vinced, and we were afterward con—‘
firmed in this belief by the official
declarations of the English and
French Governments.
Had they, however, recognized us
as a merchant submarine, then we
should not only have been in imme
diate peril, but our entry into our
American port of destination would
have been endangered in the highest
degree—for we should at once have
had a pack of blood-thirsty sleuths
lowering for our trail. Even if things
went favorably, we should have been
done out of the effect of cur aston
ishing arrival in America. As you
may well imagine, it was especially
’upon this point that we had set our
pride and honor.
Such, in the main, were my delib
erations as we approached the regions
of the “danger zone.”
U-Liner Seldom Seen.
We “snaked” ourselves along with
the greatest possible vigilance. We
saw many things; we ourselves were
seen but seldom, and recognized
never. in the daytime we avoided

various steamers by simply altering
our course. Dyring the nighttime we
drove along with all lights blinded,
and dived whenever we thought it
necessary.
The weather was also favorable.
Once we sighted a British auxiliary
cruiser at a considerable distance.
She was bound in a definite direction,
and was following a zigzag course.
For a time we maintained a parallel
course, keeping her under close ob
servation. But the high seas that
were running seemed to absorb her
entire attention, and so we ourselves
remained unobserved.
On another occasion, toward dusk,
a patrol boat approached us. It had
sean us and adopted the mask of
harmlessness in order to tempt us to
an attack. But we continued quietly
on our way and the patrol boat gave
us up in disgust. There were also
swifter patrol craft, which we were
able to steer clear of in good time. |
Rested Under Sea.
Later the wind subsided and it be
gan to grow misty. We dived and
lay upon the bottom. There was no
need of hurry, and why snould we
not grant ourselves a little rest?
The waters we chose were, to be
sure, far from shallow—on the con
trary, they were quite deep. But we
reposed all the more safely and quiet
ly for that. And we had a profound
faith in the splendid sounding appa
ratus and the wonderful compression
hull of our good Deutschland.
This night, spent upon the bottom
of the sea, meant real recuperation

a proper wash and to lie down to rest
without having to fear that a sudden
“Hoo-ee!” in the speaking tube would
startle us out of our dreams. First,
however, we had dinner—a real and
regular dinner. The two gramophones
were set golng and we clinked our

Our steward, ‘Stucke—the dear

the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, and had
not spent almost a year in French
captivity! And now he was showing
his arts aboard the Deutschland at a
depth of x meters! He was inex

City Physicians Explain Why

They Prescribe Nuxated Iron
To Make Beautiful, Healthy Women and Strong Vigorous Men
NOW BEING USED BY OVER FIVE MILLION PEOPLE DAILY
Quickly transforms the flabby flesh, toneless tissues and pallid cheeks of weak, anaemic men and women in a perfect giow
of health and beauty—Often Increases the strength of delicate, nervous, run-down folks
200 per cent in two weeks’ time.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—lt is conserva
tively estimated that over five million
people daily in this country alone are
taking Nuxated Iren. Such astonishing
results have been reported from its use,
both by doctors and laymen, that a
number of physicians in various parts of
the country have been asked to explain
why they prescribe it so extensively,
and why it apparently produces so much
better results than were obtained from
the old forms of inorganic fron. |
Extracts from some of the Iletters
received are given below:
Dr. King, a New York physician and
author, says: ‘“There can be no vigorous
’imn men without iron. Pallor means
anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficien
cy. The skin of anaemic men and wo
men is pale. The flesh flabby The
muscles lack tone, the brain fags and
the memory fails and thegv often become
weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and
melancholy. When the iron goes from
the blood of women, the roses go from
their cheeks.
In the most common foods of America,
the starches, surflrs. table syrups, can
dies, polished rice, white bread, soda‘
crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti,
tapioca, sago, farina, degerminated corn
meal, no longer is iron to be found.
Refining Frncesses have removed the
iron of Mother Earth from these im
poverished foods, and silly methods of
home cookery, by throwlnf down the
waste-pipe the water in which our veg
etables are cooked, are responsible for
another grave iron loss.
Therefore, if you wish to preserve your
youthful vim and vigor to a ripe age,
vou must supply the iron deficiency in
your food by using some form of or
ganic fron just as you would use salt
when your food has not enough salt.
Dr. Sauer, a Boston physician, who has
studieq widely in both this conntry and
in prominent European medical Insti
tutions, says: ‘““As I have said a hundred
times over, organic iron is the greatest
of all strength builders. If people would
only throw away patent medicines and
nauseous concoctions and take simple
Nuxated Iron, I am convinced that the
lives of thousands of persons might be
saved who now die every yeat from
pneumonia_ grippe, consumption, kidney, |
liver and heart troubles, ete. The real
and true cause which starteq their dis
eases was nothing more nor less than a
weakened condition brought on by lack
of iron in the blood.” |
Not long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary examlna—‘
tion for life insurance. T was astonished
to sing him with a blood pressure of a
bay of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and
vitality as a young man: in fact, a
voung man he really was, notwith
standin;i his age. The secret, he said,
wag taking iron—nuxated iron had filled
him with renewed life. At 30 he was in
had health: at 46 he was careworn and
nearly all in—mow at 50, a miracle of
vitality and his face beaming with the
‘buoyvancy of youth.
more rose to the surface. The ex
haust pumps snored and hummed,
and we began to climb out of the
depths with hundreds of gallons
“above normal,” and with the diving
rudders set as they should be.
At a depth of twenty meters the
boat began to lose her flne stability.
She rocked and tossed. The mano
meter was the first to record this,
then the diving rudders began to an
’noun(‘e the fact by setting up a stout
resistance They have a habit under
'such circumstances of bucking heav
-Ily.
‘ The higher we rose the more lively
our movements grew. A very Tre
spectable sea was bowling along
overhead.
Surveyed the Field.
I ordered us to proceed for a timo
with the periscope protruding just
above the surface and surveyed the
field. Nothing could be seen but a
waste of white-crested waves racing
along. But this sort of weather was
quite to my llking, for it enabled us
to slide along wlithout keeping up
such a vigilant watch.
So I decided to emerge completely
and ordered compressed air to be shot
into the tanks until the turert was
sufficiently free. Then the Diesel
motors were switched on, and the
ventilating mechanism began to sup
ply fresh air. But we had no sooner
opened the cover of the manhole than
the first damp greetings came whiz
zing into the central. So we clamped
her down again. Another tank was
blown clear—the “turbo” blast made
short work of the imprisoned water.
A certain trick of seamanship was,
however, necessary before we cduld
undertake this step. In order to rise
entirely it is necessary to lie in the
trough of the waves, since a high sea
makes it impossible for the long and
heavy hull to emerge head on.
Brought Upon Course.
So, under low speed, we laid the
Deutschland cross to the sea. She
rolled heavily—a beastly situation,
which almost shook the soul out of
one’s body. Every few moments the
ponderous cross seas went rolling
over the vessel. But she obeyed the
diving rudders and slowly stuck her
nose out of the water. After we
had reached the surface the turret,
with its periscopes, described ter
rifying arcs, swinging back and forth.
There was another highly unpleas
ant moment to get over—to bring
the Deutschland around upon her
course once more.
I stood behind the thick turret wina
dows down which the driving spray
went steadily streaming, and braced
myself with arms and legs against
both sides in order to withstand the
Little Vannie to Have
A Happy Christmas
If there is one thing that ought to fill
a Christmas stocking fuller than any
thing else in the world that you can
buy for money, why, it ought to be an
artificial leg. This is not meant for a
{)oke. and it is truly a serious business,
ut a very happy thing for Vannie. .
There have been two or three little
stories about Vannie in The Georglan
lately—the little girl who suffered the
loss of a limb by amputation, and has
been forced to go painfully about on
crutcheg ever since. Mrs. Ida C. Wilson,
No. 168 Stewart avenue, has been trying
to get contributions to make up the SBS
needed to buy the leg that will enable
Vannie to walk easily and naturally.
Since the stories were printed the con
tributions have been pouring in, and
now the full sum has been received, and
Mrs, Wilson has ordered the appliance,
and it will be ready for Vannie by
Christmas.
Perhaps the most touching contribu
tion was from two priSoners in the Fed
;:al Penitentiary, who sent a check for
prolonged trial. 1 have beern
more than pleased with the
SR results and will continue ijts
use.”

' Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into )ivlng
‘ tissue. Without it, no matter how muec
or what you eat, your food merely
passes through you without doing {’ou
‘any good, angd as a consequence you be
come weak, pale and sickly looking,
just like a plant v.ryingl to grow in a
'soil deficient in iron. If you are not
strong or well you owe it to yourself
to make the following test: See how
long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next take
two flve-grain tablets of ordinary nux
ated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you
have gained. I have seen dozens of
nervous, run-down people who were ail
ing all the while double their strength
and endurance ang entirely rid them- |
selves of all symptoms of dyspepsia,
liver and other troubles in from ten to
fourteen days’ time simply by taking
iron in the proper form. And this after
they had in some cases been doctorin“
for months without obtaining any bene
fit. But don't take the old forms of
reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of
iron simply to save a few cents. The
iron demanded by Mother Nature for the
red coloring matter im the blood of her
children is_alas! not that kind of iron.
You must take iron in a form that ean
be easlly absorbed and assimilated ta
do you any good, otherwise it may {)rove
worse than useless. Many an athlete
and prize fighter has won the day
simply because he knew the secret of
great strength and endurance and filled
his blood with iron before he went into
the affray, while many another has gone
down in Inglorioug defeat simply for the
lack of iron.”
Dr. V. Von Unruh, medieal director in
chief of the New York City Clinle, said:
“I have given Nuxated Iron a fair and
fearful tossing. Following old sea
man’s lore I watched for the period
of irregular comparative calm, whioh
usually follows upon three particu«
larly tall waves.
The third billow had just lumbered
by. I shouted an order to the helms~
man in the central-—the maneuver
succeeded. The bow slowly nosed it+
self around—and we resumed our old
course without being speclally hard
pounded by the big rollers.
But there was still much work ta
do. The storm was still on the in~
crease, and we were able to proceed
only slowly against this heavy sea.
In additicn, some of the crew werae
suffering from seasickness, for the
short jerky motions of the ship were
dreadful.
But the farther we proceeded the
more the long steady swell of the
Atlantic became recognizable. The
short lunging and thumping ceased
and passed over into a slow ma
jestic cradling swing. In the dis~
tance we observed two English cruis<
ers returning homeward from somse
nightly cruise. Wo were lying too
deep, however, for them to observe
us, and we saw them diappearing
rapidly in an opposite course.
We were now free of the English
patrol boats., We steered joyously
toward the west, out upon the vast
and rolling Atlantic—toward freedom.,

Koenig's remarkable narrative wrll be

If you are too fat and want to
reduce your weight 15 or 20
pounds, don't starve and weaken
your system, or think you must
always be laughed at on account
of your fat but go to any good
dn;ggtst. and get a box of Oil
of Korein capsules, take one after
each meal and one before retiring
at night.
Weigh yourself once a week and
note what a pleasant and reliable
method this is for removing su
perfluous fat from any part of
the body.
It costs little, is absolutely
harmless and a week's trial
should convince anyone that it
{s unnecessary to be burdened
with even a single I;ound of
weightly fat. Jacobs’ Pharmacy
can supply you.

it. T have
taken it my- -
self and giv
en it to my pa
tients with most
suprising and
satisfactory results,
[ And those who wish
‘quivklv to increase their
strength, power and endurance will
find it a most wonderfully effective
remedy."”’
' Dr. James, late of the United States
Public Health Service, says: ‘‘Patients
in an enervated and devitalized state
of health—those, for instance, conva-
Jlescing from protracted fevers, those
suffering from a long-standing case of
anaemia, all such people, in my opinion,
need iron. Of late, there has been
brought to my attention Nuxated Tron.’
In practice, T have found this an ideal
restorative and upbuilding agent in
these cases above mentioned.”
NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which is prescribed and
recommended above by physicians in such a great
variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret
remedy, but one which is well known to d i
and whose iron constituents are widely m
by eminent physicians everywhere. [Unlike the older
inorganic iron products, it is easlly assimilated, does
not injure the teeth, make them black nor upset the
stomach; on the contrary, it is a mowt potent rem
edy, in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as
for’ nervous, run down conditions. The manufae
turers have such great confidence in Nuxated Iron
that they offer to forfeit SIOO.OO to any sharitable
institution if they can not take any man or woman
under 60 who lacks iron and increase their mm
200 per cent or over in four weeks’ time provi
they have no serious organic trouble. They also
offer to refund your momey if it does not ay lemst
double your strength and endurance in ten daye’
time. It is dispensed in this city by Jacobs’ Phar
macy and all good druggiets.—Advertisement.
