REV. |. TATE'S
nerve FORCE NOT
EQUAL TO TASK
But He Soon Built 1t Up to the
Needed Power BY Using
Wentworth.

This well-known colored minister
pastor of the MT. Olive Baptist church
at Dayton, Ohio, has derived extra
ordinary benefits from single bottle
Of Wentworth and he tells the story
most eloquently to Dayton's Nerv-
Worth druggist.
Jenkins Drug e:--For five
years l have been in "a very nervous
condition. Did not have the nerve
force to digest my food. / could only
eat few things. Doctors told me
not to eat any cold lunch. My stom-
ach and digestion were in very bad
condition. Gas formed on my stom-
ach and caused terrible lbloating. My
blood was in very bad condition and
circulation poor. My legs were cold
and numb feeling in them and my
hands. Could not obtain any relief
from my nervous breakdown until
took one bottle of; Nelv1Worth and
that changed everything. l am ner-
vous no more. Can eat anything any
time, no bloating and stomach and
digestion in fine condition. Good
circulation and blood. No numbness
and cold feeling in my legs and
hands. l ann now feeling fine and
have regained my health and vigor.
