Tells What Kmd of Iron He Re commends. "I was troubled with ray stomach for ten years, and in that time I bought almost every kind of medi cine and couldn't begin to say tiow much I took or paid out for medical service, yet nothing did me any good. Then I began using Acid? Iron Mineral and I don't think I had taken more than six of the fifty-cebt bottles when I began feeling better than I ever did. I only weighed 145 pounds when I began to take Acid Iron Mineral and now I weighed 180 pounds. It in a pleasure for rae to recommend it to any one who bas symptoms of indigestion or stomach trouble and if they will try it I am sure they will find it everything I have said it to be", writes Mr. W. T. Cash, proprietor of a well known clothing, shoes, hats, and men's fur nishing store in Bristol, Virginia. A statement such as the above from a merchant of integrity who knew all the - agony of stomach trouble for ten years or more must convince the reader that after all is said and done, just plain, everyday natural medicinal iron, concentrated as it is in Acid Iron Mineral is the cheapest, best, medicine to bring the system back to normal and purify and enrich the blood. It is unusual, helps the appetite, and costs but little, a teaspoonful in a glass of water after meals being a most invigorating dose. Whole families that take it Fall and Spring as a tonic.
