DIR. A, W. CHASE'S
NERVE PILLS.

When the head aches hard and throbs;
when the neck and eyes grow stiff, the
face Pushes or grows deadly white;
when any excitement or over effort
brings on an attack Of nervous head
ache so severe that it leaves you weak,
trembly, shaky and utterly worthless
for days, it is a certain indication that
the nervous system is shattered-that
resistive power is gone-that you need
a medicine that will rebuild and re-
supply the lost nerve force, that will
so strengthen you that you can resist
and overcome these terrible seizures.
Such q medicine is DR.. A. w. Chase Is
Nerve Pills, medicine that does not
relieve but goes to the root of the
trouble and positively cures.
Mrs. John Fall Of Fourth St., Toronto,

like DR.. a. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills because they cured my nervous
sick headaches-these headaches used
to play me out and leave me weak and
nervous, the pain being so severe. My
eyes used to get stiff and sore during
the attack and the neck so stiff ]
could hardly turn it. The Nerve Pills,
however, proved to be Just what
needed and cured the attacks in a
hurry. AS q result feel steady in

Commissioner, to he ournal to-

The food laws as left by the recent
legislature are all that I could ask"
he continued. Hereafter all articles
for food used which are not absolutely
pure must be labeled substitute in
plain letters, and the public will have
no difficulty in detecting at first glance
just what is the absolutely genuine and
what is the adulterated.
"The new law is much stricter in re-
gard to box-car merchants. Heretofore
if box-car goods labels were all right
there was nothing for the food inspec.
tor to do but to let the box-car man
go while his food samples were await
