We don’t want to make any sales through false rep- resentations and so we ad- vise people that want Whisky to let Brown’s Iron Birrers alone. Brown’s Iron Birrers postive contains xo Whis- ky. It is not a drink, but purely a frue medicinal tonic composed of /ron, Ciuchona and other valuable ingredi- ents, Everybody knows that the blood is*the foundation of life and that so long as the blood is pure and healthy disease cannot secure 2 hold. Any physician will tell you that Iron is anecessary component of the blood and that unless the blood con- tains its proper proportion of Iron it) becomes. thin, weak and watery, and sick- ness is sure to follow. Are you tired and weary, overworked and over- strained? Brown’s Iron Brrrers will rest and re- fresh you. Do you wish that you could sleep, are you sick of tossing around all night ever trying -and ever failing to get sleep and rest? Try Brown’s Iron Brrrers and you will soon sleep sweetly and restfully. Do you ache all over, wishing the morning was night and the night morn- ing? Is life a burden and and everything around you dark and gloomy? Take Brown’s Iron Birrers and you will wonder how it is you feel so well and why the world is so bright. Are your kidneys out of order, have you dyspepsia, are you weak and debili- tated, is anything the mat- ter? Try one bottle of Brown's Iron Brrrersand you will find sure relief. Rueumatic Pans.
