Lack of Nerve Force.
Day by day thu columns of this
paper bring new evidence from Scian-
ton people of tho great work being
tlono by Dr. A. W. Chuse's Nerve Pills.
Why they accomplish so much Is
easily explained they are prepared

force. They accomplish this object,
which no other niedlchm In the world
has ever been ablo to do; that's why
hundreds of Scrnnton people offer their
testimony.
Mr. Samuel Rosers, of No. 123 Hyde
Park avenue, Scrnnton, Pn says: "I
was in n run-down condition, head
aches, nervous and sleeping badly and
tho appetlto poor. I wus told of Dr.
A. W. Chuse's Nervo Pills and got a
box. As a icsult I sleep and cat well
again. I am very much pleased with
them und glad to recommend thorn to
othets. This I can do conscientiously."
