Her disposition changes and she becomes Morose, desPondent and melancholy. The appetite is changeable, digestion imperfect, and wearine.ss and fatigue are experienced on the slightest exertion.. Blondes become pallid, waxy and puffir, brunettEs become muddy and greyish in color, with bluish black rings under the eyea Examination shows a remarkable decrease in the quality of the blood. T.ron and such other restoratives as are achtdrablY combined in Dr. Chase's Nerve Food are demanded by the s3,steni. The regular and per- sistent use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food cannot fail to benefit any girl or young woman suffering from chlorosis, feminine irregularities or weakness resulting from poor blood and exhausted nerves. It reconstructs wasted tissue, gives color to the cheeks and new vitality to every organ of the body. Mrs. Williams, 73 Palace street, Brantford, states :--"My daughter, who ,was working in a grocery store, became so weak and run down in health that she had to give up her position. She was atso pale and ner- vous, and had very distressing attacks of headache. I got a box of Dr. Chase's Nerve rood and started her using it. I could e.asily see an improvement in her looks, and she had not been takihg it long before her color 'became very much better, her nerves more steady fltal her headaches disappeared. She Is now entirely cured of leer 'trouble, and consequently we value Dr. , Chase's Nerve rood very highly."
