NERVE WASTE"

One of the most helpful books on nerve
weakness ever issued is that entitled
"Nerve WASTE" by DIR. Sawyer of San
Francisco, now in its fifth thousand.
This work of an experienced and reput-
able physician is in agreeable contrast
to the vast sum of false teaching which
prevails on this interesting subject. 1t
abounds in carefully considered and
practical advice, and has the two great
merits of wisdom and sincerity.
1t is indorsed both by the religious
and secular press. The Chicago Ad-
vance says: IA perusal of the book and
the application of its principles will put
health. hope and heart into thousands
of lives that are now suffering through
nervous impairment"
The book is S1.0O, by mail, postpaid.
One of the most interesting chapters
chapter Xxx, on Nervines and Nerve
Tonics-has been printed separately as
a sample chapter, and will be sent to any
