V.DE~BEER,? (Late S. Balek) THE LEADING JEWELLER * WATCHMAKER EAST STREET, ASHBURTON. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that in the whirl of unnatural excite* ment, and in the struggle for existence in this generation, no attention whatever ia : vouchsafed to the most) ordinary rules of health. When the muscles become relaxed, the nerves over-sensitive and delioately strung, and the brain wearies at the slightest task, these symptoms are part of Nature's \ warning that the delicate organism of the human frame is out of gear. In most oaaea a gentle stimulant and mild restorative is all that is required to impart fresh vitality to the jaded narves, and it is a well-known foot that % few doses of Hoiiow&y'a Pills work wonders, and restore the lost tone of the nervous system.
