Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves DESTROY many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of
complete nervous breakdown. Il
is OF the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa
Bonner, BIS N. 18th St., Birming-
ham, Ala, says: -
II have been suffering with He-v-.
Gus prostration for nine or ten
years. Have tried many of the best
doctors in Birmingham, but they all

If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
