Many a Girl Fallsa. Victim of Ills Which Affect Health ancl'Happiness Al

• Just on the threshold of womanhood, that trying period when the Whole system is undergoing a complete*
change, many a girl falls a victim of .ChlorosiS, or green sickness. Her disposition changes and she becomes
Morose, desPondent and melancholy. The appetite is changeable, digestion imperfect, and wearine.ss and

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."
Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is woman's greatest help, because it forms new, rich, life-sustainirg blood. • 50

THE RETIRED BURGLAR. d
Draws a Lesson Prom His Own
Experience.
"No matter what business a man
may be in," said the retired bur-
giar, "it is only by actual hard
work, and by everlastinly keepin' at
it that he will get on in it. No
amount, of dreamin' will put a man
anywhere; but there ain't anywhere
a maxi can't get by steady, hard
work.
"I've seen this illustrated in my
own business; as a matter of fact,
in my own experience.
"I've wasted many and many a
night dreamin' of robbin' ba.nkse
makin,' in my mind, a million do1.
lars at a clip, but never actually
makin' a cent, while some chap that
1 knew that didn't have half as lofty
ideas about this as I did would bet

"Well, I &nano, considerin' my
business, or what was my business,

but you can draw your own con-
