Weak nerves rob men and women of alt the joy of life and quickly reduce the strong and robust to a condition which Is pitiable in the extreme. This condition is brought about slowly and stealthily In the majority of casca, and the poor suf- ferer fails to realize what is wrong until faulty memory. Indecision, lack of desire lor work or recreation, insomnia or some I other unmistakable symptom indicates weak nerves.

It is then that many people make the big mistake of resorting to the use of so-called nerve tonics, alcoholic stimulants or drugs. Nothing could he more harmful or more dangerous. The nerves are weak and exhausted; they need food and nourishment not drugs that will lash them into temporary activi. ty. l-'eed your nervt-s and rtuy will tie-come strong again and your health will improve in consequence.

That is the advice of present day physicians and specialists, and the nerve food they recommend is just one 5-gr. tablet of pure bitro-phosphate taken during or ImmedU ately after every meal. Simple advice, but its excellence has been proved over and over again, and. as a package' containing suRiclent bltro-phosphate tablets for two weeks' treatment can be obtained from any druggist at reasonable cost, the remedy is within the reach of every sufferer from weak nerves.
