Glvis Now i ifs Strengthens t'.e Nerves. When the blood is impure the whole nervous system becomes poisoned. It is impossible to throw off that terrible depression; and there is no ambition to work. But there is a way whereby you may again be strong and vigorous, \ Mr. Charles Richardson, of 37 ITowiclr Street, Launceston, Tasmania, sends us his photograph and thefollovring letter: » Once my arms "wrere covered with sores that were worse than boils. They were deep rooted ia the flesh and caused great suffering. My blood was in an awful 'condition. At sm other time I had a severe attack of influenaa. I could neither eat, sleep, nor work, and I never expected to recover. AVER'S Sarsaparilla cured me from both, of these violent attacks. The first time it took all impurities out of m* system; and the last time IS built me up ana gave me new life. Now lam strong, work ard, and sleep well."
