It is found in that impure blood which is contin nally feeding the nerves upon refuse instead of the elements of stren'th and vigor. In such condition opiate and nerve compounds simply deaden and do not cure. IHood's barsaparilla feeds the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the true remedy for all unerous troubles.
