A scrap OF IL gown that was worn,
A confdautes news of q heartbreak,
A lovers page, tattered and torn;
A child's painful hand that was guided
To trace out its first words OF love;
A message of birth and OF sorrow,
A bridal song, sealed with dove.
They flutter and drift from their moorings,
Like white thoughts that culver and

Dropped deep in the heart OF forever
The past that was thine and is mine.

Your memories, ever the same,
Az, ashes of roses, old letters,

Nerves that jump at every sudden
noise; nerves that keep you awake at
night; nerves that make your back
ache, your heart palpitate and your
temples throb; nerves that are tired,
weak, irritable, and restless; these
are the poverty-stricken, exhausted,
starving sort of nerves that make all
the trouble.
Poverty of nerves destroys your ap-
petite, deranges your digestion, dis
5lrbs your heart and weakens your
body. Poverty of nerves depresses
your spirits, makes you fretful, care
worn, worried, melancholy and des-
pondent. To brighten your spirits,
rest your mind and revive your flag
ging energies, the hungry nerves
must be fed, built up and strength
ened; and there is nothing in the
