A Barrie Man Tells of Persistent
Headaches and Indigestion—
Finally Found His Way
to Good Health.
For two lcng years the writer of
this letter was subject to severe head-
aches. The nervous system got run
down, digestion failed, and there was
continued loss of weight.
She use of Dr, Chase's Nerve Food
Changed all this, aria liow with scores
o8 'other Barrie people Mr. Nader is
recommending the use of this food
cure as the best means of building up
the exhausted nervous system and
curing headaches, indigestion and
all the annoying symptosis of •a run-
down condition.
IMr. John Nader, 38 Penetang street,
Barrie, Ont., writes : "During the last
two years I had an attack of indiges-
tion, accompanied by severe head-
aches. I suffered from loss of appe-
tite, and my system became run
down. I also lost considerably, In
weight. I, began using - Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food, and as they helped me I
continued this treatment for some
time. My condition is now greatly
improved, my headaches are gone and
any health in general is much better.
T can cheerfully recommend the use
of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to those
suffering from nervousness of any
kind."
The reason Dr. Chase's Nerve Food
Is so effective in oases of this kind is
because of its extraordinary blood-
torming influence. By creating an
abundance of rich, red blood it
strengthens the action of the heart,
revitalizes the exhausted nerves and
builds up the system' in every way.
The appetite 9s restored, digestion
Improves, you rest and sleep well, and
the new vigor and energy is felt in
every organ of the human body.' Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food is doing wonders

hopes of the future tc•l,ru his seed
should be as the stars 1'er multitude,
Els was no ordinary expectation. The
human affections and hopes were, no
doubt, included; but a new nation Was
to spring from him, enc) Isane was the
sole link making the connection. Then,
too, he saw the coming Redeemer, for
"Abraham saw my day and WAS glad"
(John 8:66). It 1s only as we thus
see all that Isaac meant to his fa-
ther and God's purpose for the future
of the world, that we really can appre-
elate th$ crucial test that came to
Abraham. A test In soine sense sim-
ilar•comes to any Christian fathers
and mothers. God is calling for sons
and daughters to be offered on the al-
tar of his service. The test is some-
thing terrific, as some who have given
up sons and daughters for the mission
field can testily. It is only as God is
known to be almighty (Genesis 17;1)
shall ability, be given to give them up.
11. Abraham Standing the Test (vv.
2-10).
1. On the way (vv. 3, 4). Abraham
promptly obeyed. There was neither
hesitancy nor arguing. God had is-
sued the command, At his call. Abra-
ham said: "Here am I" (v. 1). He
could not say "No" to God. In the -
ordinary affairs of life we call a man
weak who cannot say "No," who has
no will of his own; but the 'man who
could not say "No" to God,' we count
strong. Early in the morning he was
on the way.to the place of which God
had told him. All who really believe
in God will yield themselves to hem
without question, reserve, or shrinking.
Anything short of this is not consecra-
tion. We should not stop to ask how
or why. It Is enough to know that God
has spoken.
2. "Abide yo here" (v, 6). This test-
ing experience was too sacred for hu-
man eyes to gone upon. How like
this the words of Jesus 1n Gethsem-
ane; "Tarry ye here."-* Human sympa-
thy is sweet, and 1s to be prized, but
we need to begone to times of great
testing. There are times when hu-
man sympathy hinders us from doing
our duty. When Abraham said: "We
will come down again to you," he
spoke sincerely, for he believed that
God would give him Isaac back from
the dead (Heb. 11:19). -

withering contempt, " If' it is forgery:
1 tell you there are no 'ifs' about it.

enough that, if any man made a pre-
tence of a claim to the estate, you
would simply hand it over to him, and

dication that our opponent, whoever

The face of the other showed slight

he could speak, the young man in-

why Canada must borrow
money to c krry on
Because Canada has put her hand
to the plow -and will not turn back:—
, —our country is in the war on the
side of liberty and justice and will stay
in it till complete victory is won and
the unspeakable Hun is smashed and
beaten to the ground;
—a nation at war must make tre-
mendous expenditures in cash to keep
up her armies and supply them with
Munitions, food and clothing;
—Canada must finance many mil-
lions of dollars of export trade in food,
munitions and supplies which Britain
and our allies must have on credit;
—for these purposes Canada must
borrow hundreds of millions of
dollars—
And, this money must be borrowed
from the people of Canada:—
Therefore,
anada:Therefore, Canada will presently
come to her people for a new Victory
Loan to carry on.

Canadians will loan the money by
again buying Victory Bonds.
The national safety, the national
