TEE. SATISFACTION OR

Weak nerves rob men and women of
all the joy of life and quickly reduce the
strong and robust to a c. ndition which is
pitiabl in the extreme. This condition is
brought about slowly and stealthily in the
majority Of cases, and the poor sufferer
fails to realize what is wrong until faulty
memory, indecision, lack of desire for work
or recreation, insomnia or some other I'M
nerves. 1t is then that many people make
the big mistake of resorting to the use
Of so-called nerve tonics, alcoholic stimu-
lants or drugs. Nothing could be more
harmful or more dangerous. The nerves
are weak and exhausted; they need food
and nourishment-not drugs that will lash
them into temporary activity. Feed your
nerves and they will become strong again
and your health will improve in conse-
quence. That is the advice of present day
physicians and specialists. and the nerve
food they recommend is just one 5-gr
tablet of pure bitro- phosphate taken during
or Immediately after every meal. Simple
advice, but its excellence has been proved
over and over again, and, as package
containing sufficien. bitro- phosphate tab
tanned from any druggist at reasonable
cost, the remedy is within the reach of
every sufferer from weak nerves More
over, the whole risk of the trial is assumed
by the manufacturers. for every package of

a binding guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. 1t is sold in this city by
