slave to your work. It's rush througl
the day and worry through the night.
There's no time to eat and no
, f time to sleep. Already you have
nervous dyspepsia , nervous sick
headache , and neuralgia. Your food
distresses you. You suffer from terrible
depression. The outlook is dark and for
bidding. You feel sure there is but one
termination to this
And nervous prostration is something you don't want , that's
certain. Then don't have it. A perfect Sarsaparilla prevents
this distressing and dangerous disease , and it cures it , also.
It keeps you up when especially pressed with work. It cures
dyspepsia , and it builds up exhausted nerve tissue. But it
must be a perfect Sarsaparilla to do this. So far as we can
learn , there isn't but one in the world , and
"The only Sarsaparilla made under the personal supervision of three graduates : a
graduate in pharmacy , a graduate in chemistry , and a graduate in medicine. "

It did me so much good then that I have alwas taken it every spring as a Hood-purifying medicine. I attribute my robust health
at 78 to the use of jour Sarsaparilla every spring. " S. T. JONES , Wichita , Kans. , March 29 , 1900.
