A Continual strain.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears
and distresses them both mentally and
physically, affecting their nerves badly
aud bringing on liver and kidney all
ments, with the attendant evils of
constipation, loss of appetite, sleepless-
ness, low vitality and despondency.
They cannot, as rule, get rid of this
continual strain" but they can remedy
its misunderstanding effects by taking
frequent doses of Green's August

bodily functions, gives vim and spirit to
