LACK OF REST.

The Man or Woman Who Fails to Get Refreshing Sleep Is On Health’s Down Grade. Rensselaer People Know the Remedy. It is a feature of the worry and hustle of present day living that wakefulness and restlessness beget headaches, languor, failing strength; people go at their work in a listless, half-hearted way. Ordinary treatments have no effect because they have not the secret power of organizing nerve force peculiar to Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills, the great success of which is attested by residents of Rensselaer. Mrs. A. N. Simpson, of No. 416 Cherry St., east, Rensselaer, Ind., says: -‘I am naturally nervous and some time ago matters got so bad I could not sleep at night—restless and uneasy all the time—lack of rest made me tired day times. I was told of Dr. A, W. Chase’s Nerve Pills and got some at A. F. Long’s Drug Store and they are all they are claimed to be —a fine nerve tonic. My nerves became quite steady and strong—my sleep peaceful and natural and with this change my health and strength came back, lam very glad to recommend the medicine.” Dr. A. W, Chase’s Nerve Pills are sold at 50c a box at dealers or Dr. A. W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. See that Eirtrait and signature of A. W. base, M. D., are on every package.
