you are easily tired. Digestion fails you, and
,your system is run down, because the blood is
lacking in the nutritive elements.
1n this weakened condition you are an easy
prey to colds and all malarious diseases, The
blood must be enriched by such restorative
treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve' Pond before you
1.1111 hope to regain strength.
Anaemia does not correct itself, and, conse-
quently the greatest danger lies in neglecting
to lake active treatment until the strength is
ton far toasted.
A1:u1y thousands have been cured of. anaemia
by using Dr. Chese's Nerve l'oed, and this is
the hest proof that it will not fair you.
If Your Nerves
Are Exhausted
you lack the energy and ambition which is
necessary to attend to ,the duties of the day.
You cannot concentrate the mind, 01e1110o, fails
yott, little things irritate and annoy, possibly
you do not sleep well, and have nervous head -
;Mlles or sciatic pains, Men have brain fag and
find digestion had, women experience weakness
and irregularities peculiar to their sex, Strange
feelings come over you and you live in dread of
losing your mind or of some calamity about to
befall you
Another name for your condition is nervous
prostration or exhaustion, and the natural de-
velopment from this condition is paralysis, loco-
motor ataxia or some dreadful fo1`m of helplessness
of mind or body

The brain is the headquarters or eent1•al„
f the nervous stslan1. dere nerve force is
consumed at an enormous rate if there is any
lack of ri:h. red blood ;runt which to fora; new
nervous energy the brain is 1ir51 to feel it and the
head aches.
Headaches may be stopped by powerlul
drugs, but that is like breaking the semaphore
which warns the engineer of danger
The only wise way Is to increase the annum!
of rich, red blood in the human body by using.
Dr. Chase's Nerve fund, and thereby feed the
starved nerves back to stealth and vigor
If You Do Not Sleep
Well
We can live without food, 'but •not without
sleep. Many will recall Dr Tanner's 40 days
without food, but who could live a single week
\51 11001 sleep and retain their reason 1 It is
dosing sleep that the nervous system is restored
and the nerve force, consumed by the activities
of the day, is replaced.
Sleeplessness is one of the first mid one of
the most torturing 5ynlptnns of nervous exhaus-
tion. With sleeplessness you find nervous
headaches, tired, wornunt feelings, indigestion,
lack of energy and strenpalh.
The nerve force in the body i5 at low ebb,
and the feeble, wasted nerve cells must he
10urished back to (lealflh and strength by such
treatment as Dr, Chase's Nerve Food.
