AMERICANIZING THE WORLD
Germany attempted to "Germanize" the world with the thunderbolts of
war but fell down on the job because she went ;it it in a destructive way. In
doing ho she brought into Ihe field against herself the greatest moral and mtit
( rial force in the world today—the American people.
Germany failed in her scheme <*f conquest but* the thing she sought
to do in her crude and brutal way has become the animating cause of another
conquest by another nation along lines the very antithesis of those em
ployed by Germany.
Now that the rec^l reek of Germany’s bloods debauch is clearing away
it is clearly to be seen that the moral spirit she aroused when she brought Am
erica into the lists against herself may ultimately conquer Germany’s moral
perversion, even as It has been the dominant factor in her material conquest oft
the field of war.
Indeed, the closer one looks at the international situation as it is today, the
more certain it appears that the American spirit has taken hold of the entire
civilized world and is gradually leading the peoples who have felt its influence
to change their former conceptions and to adopt entirely different viewpoints
concerning the world, their neighbors and themselves.
In other words, it appears very much that America is. in a moral
sense, "Americanizing” the world.
The process is going on almost unknown to even the Americans them
selves, but the signs of the conquest are so plain as to he seen by all who keen
their eyes on the trend of world events.
The American peace principles given to the world by President Wilson
are the basis on which the peace settlements are being made and the right or
wrong of international relations and international disputes is measured by the
standards of justice and fairness they establish. The American ideals of gov
ernment are being embraced by the new formed states brought into existence
m the mighty upheaval of war and American principles underlie the constitut
ions of practically every one. The idealism which led America into the war
is the most widely discussed theme in the world today and is evoking the ad
miration of the press and public of almost every civilized land. America Is
looked upon as the Great Arbiter of human rights and the personification of
humanity and justice by the bulk of the earth’s peoples. In the view of the
enlightened masses of humanity. America and the American people are repre
sentative of that liberty of individualism for which the race has longed since
man first felt the weight of domlnatlve or suppressive government. ‘American
principles of government are looked upon as representing the highest expres
sions of human justice and fair dealing and the American ideals are practically
accepted as the essence of moral right by all 'peoples who are not buried to

City Physicians Explains Why
They Prescribe Nuxated Iron
To Make Beautiful, Healthy Women and Strong, Vigorous Men
NOW BEING USED BY OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY.
Quickly Transforms the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, and pallid cheeks of we ak, anaemic men and women into a
perfect glow of health and beauty—Often increases the strength of delicate, nervous, run down
folks 100 per cent, in two weeks’ time.
lively estimated that,' over three mil
ion people annually in this eo.«ntry
alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such
astonishing- results have been reported
from its use by both doctors and lay
men, that a number of physicians in
various parts of the country have been
i 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 iron.
Extracts from some of the letters
received are given below:
Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York
Physician and Medical Author says:
"There can be no vigorous Iron
tn«n without iron. Pallor means
anemia. Anemia means Iron defici
ency. Tl»e skin of anemic men and
women is pale. The flesh flabby. The
muscles lack tone; the brain fags and
the memory fails and often they be
come weak, nervous irritable, de
spondent and melancholy. When the
iron goe3 from the blood of women,
the roses go from their cheeks.
"In the mout common foods of Am
erica the starches , sugars, table
syrups, candies, polished rice, white
bread, soda, cracker3, biscuits, mac
aroni, spagetti, tapioca, sago, farina,
degerminated cornmeal, no longer is
iron to be found. Refining processes
have removed the iron of Mother
Earth from these impoverished foods,
and silly methods of home cookery,
by throwing down the waste pipe the
water in which our vegetables are
cooked, are responsible for another
grave iron loss.
"Therefore if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe
old age, you must supply the# iron
deficiency in your food by using some
form or organic iron, just as you
would use salt when your food has not
enough salt."
Dr. A. J. Newman, late Police Sur
geon of the City of Chicago and form
er House Surgeon, Jefferson Park
Hospital. Chicago, in commenting on
Nuxated iron, says*. “It has been my
particular duty during the past six
years to assist in keeping Chicago’s
five thousand bluecoats in good health
and perfect fighting trim so that they
would be physically equipped to with
stand all manner of storms and the
ravages of natural ek...ents.
"Recently I w*as prompted through
an endorsement of Nuxated Iron by
Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Sur
geon of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, New
York, to gitfe it a trial. This remedy
has proven through my own tests of
It to excell any preparation I have
ever used for creating red blood,
building up the nerves, strengthening
the muscles and correcting digestive
disorders.”
Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician
who haa studied widely both in this
country and in great Eur>pean Medi
cal Institutions says: “As I have said
a hundred times ove^ organic iron is
the greatest of all strength builders.
If people would only take Nuxated
Iron when they feel weak and run
down, instead of dosing themselves
with habit-forming drugs, stimulants
and alchoolic beverages I am convinc
ed that In this way they could ward
off disease, preventing it becoming or
ganic in thousands of cases and there
by the lives of thousands might be
saved who now die every year from
pneumonia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart
trouble and other d&ngerous maladies.
The real and true cause which started
their disease was nothing more nor less
: 1 . . -
Mr. Schuyler C, Jaques,
Visiting Surgeon of St.
Kllzabeth’s Hospital, New
York City, said: “I have
never before givep out any
medical information or ad
vice for publication as 1
ordinarily do not believe
in it. But i-. the case of

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
examination for life Insurance* 1 was
astonished to find him with the blood
pressure of a boy of twenty and a3 full
of vigor, vim and vitality as a young
man; in fact* a young man he really
was notwithstanding his age. The
secret, he said, was taking iron—
Nuxated Iron had filled him with re
newed life. At thirty he was la bad
health; at forty-six,he was care worn
and- nearly all in. Now at 50 after
taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vi
tality and his face beaming with the
buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolute
ly neecessary to enable your blood
to ahange food into living tissue.
Without it no matter how much
or what you eat, your food merely
passes through you without doing
you any good, and as a con
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking. Just like a plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient in Iron. If
you are not strong or well, you owe
it to yourself to maice the following
te3t: See how long you can work or
how far you can walk without be
coming tired. Next take two five
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.dowp people who were
ailing all the while double their
strength and endurance and entltely
rid themselves of all symptoms of
dyspepsia, liver anil other troubles In
from ten to fourteen days’ time simply
by taking iron in the proper form.
Anil this, after they had in some
cases been doctoring for months wlth
jout obtaining any benefit.
But don’t take the old forms of re
duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of
iron simply to save a few cents. The
ron demanded by Mother Nature for her
red coloring matter in the blood of her
children is. alas! not that kind of Iron.
You must take Iron ina aformthat can b
easily absorbed and assimilated like
nuxated iron if you want it to do you
any good, otherwise It may prove
worse than useless. Many an athlete
or prizefighter has won the day sim

filled his blood with iron before he
went into the affrjiy, while many an
other has goite down to Inglorious de

who wish quick
ly to increase their
strength, power and

fective remedy.
Dr. 11. B. Vail, formerly Physician
In the Baltimore Hospital, and a Med
ical Examiner, says: “Throughout my
experience on Hospital staffs and as
Medical Examiner, 1, have been aston
ished at the number of patients who
have vainly doctored for various dis
eases when in reality the deli
cate, run-down state was simply the
result of lack of Iron In the blood.
Time> and again 1 have prescribed or
ganic iron—Nuxated Iron—and sur
prised patients at the rapidity with
which the weakness and general de
bility were replaced by a renewed feel
ing of strength and vitality. I took
Nuxated Iron my self to build me up
after a serious case of nervous ex
haustion. The effects were apparent
after a few days and within three
weeks it had virtually revitalized my
whole system and put me in a superb
physical condition."
NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which is pre
scribed and recommended above by
physicians In such a great variety of
capes. Is not a patent medicine nor
secret remedy, but one which is well
known to druggists and whose Iron
constituents are widely prescribed by;
eminent physicians both in Europe
and in America. Unlike the older In
