That's Nerve Exhaustion The truth of the matter is, your nerves have been poi soned and weakened with the impurities in your blood. The thing for you to do is to get rid of these impurities just as soon as you can. You want a blood-purifying medicine. You want a good Sarsaparilla, thafs what you want, a Sarsaparilla i that is the strongest and best nerve tonic you can buy, too. Tha "The only Sarsaparilla made under the personal supervision of three graduates: a graduate in pharmacy, a graduate in chemistry, and a graduate in medicine." "During last year I was suffering from nervous prostration. Tor weeks I grew worse, became thin, could not sleep, had no appetite, and waa In a wretched condition. After taking several kinds of medicines without result, I took Aycr'a Sarsaparilla with more than pleasing results. My appetite returned, I slept soundly, rny strength and weight incieased, and now I am well and etrong without the slightest trace of my old trouble. Indeed, I would hardly believe it possible for medicine to bring about such a change in any person." Clara Mealy, Winter Hill, Somerville, Mass., Dec si, 1899. ClinrRPil with Stcnllnjr Strrr.
