Years 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 for men, women and children whose systems have become weak and run down. 60 cents a box, 8 boxes for E.76, all dealers or Pldmanson, Bates Co„ Limited, Toronto, end pain, prevent f Bate ring and heal, This 18 w11Y thole who have once used 7,am,Bu e will never nae 'ally other ointment. ,)voles Vio1a Ilubley, of Upper Go- shen, N,B., writes; "111y sister 'bad , sores on her foot that commenced like bolls and then dieohargee, She outfoxed suet intense pain that she could not wear be1' shoes and had to remain in the house, We coma: meneed tieing lam-ilulc and the pain soon disappeared, Then the sores stopped dlscharging and be, fore long the places were entirely healed over, We elle)) never be without Zan -Ault again."

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). - n.
