Tnis shows conclusively that Iron is acknowledged to be the most im portant factor in successful- med ical practice. It is, however, a . remarkable fact, that prior to the discovery of Brown's Iron Bitters no perfectly satisfactory ironcom- bination liad ever been found. Brown???s Iron Bitters docs not injure the teeth, cau??c headache or J iroducc constipation???nn ntrier ran metUciiirndo. Brown???s Iron fritters cures indigestion, bilious' ness, weakness, dyspepsia, mala ria, chills and fevers, tired feeling,,, general debility, pain in the side,' back or limbs, headache and ncu 1 ralgia???for all these ailment.'! Iron is prescribed daily. Brown???s Iron Bitters, howevpr, docs not cure in a minute. Like all other thorough medicines, it acts slowly.. When taken by men the first symptom of benefit is renewed energy. The muscles t then become firmer, the digestion improves, the bowels are active. In women the effect is usually more rapid and marked. Tile eyes begin at once to brighten; the skin clears up; healthy color comes to the checks; nervous ness disappears; functional de rangements become regular, and if a nursing mother abundant sustenance is supplied for the child. Remember Brown???s Iron.' Bitters is the ONLY iron medi-; cine that is not injurious.
