NERVOUSNESS.
THE CLASSES OF PEOPLE WHO
SUFFER FROM 1T.

SUFFER FROM IT.
Brain Workers, People Who Worry,
and People Who Endure Long
Continued Physical Strain.
From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal.
It is generally agreed that a mans
physical condition is dependent, to a
great degree, upon the nature of his
employment. Men whose occupations
neoessitate the constant use Of the brain,
without any opportunity for physical
exercise, are generally nervous, while
men employed at manual labor requir-
ing no exercise of the brain function,
are almost universally possessed of
sound nervous systems, not easily dis
turbed by exciting events.
A striking illustration of this prins
ciple is found in the case of Professor
George e. Coleman, who is profess
sional pianist, and who was, until with
in recent years, druggist. Professor
Coleman lives at 1880 Buchanan street,
San Francisco. He is well known
here as pianist, having played at
some of the most popular music halls in
the city. Mr.. Coleman is not man
of strong frame, and he has been an
easy prey to the severe, nervous tension
of his work at the piano. He has had
to play continuously for several hours
during every evening for five years,
and his nervous system finally gave
way under the strain. He was forced
to retire from regular work at the
piano, but that did not have the effect
Of improving his condition. Upon
the contrary, he steadily grew worse.
His nerves had been shattered, and in
addition he discovered that one of his
lungs had been affected by his having
been exposed to counter draughts in
poorly ventilated halls. His condition
soon became such that he was confined
to his home, and finally gave himself
over to the care of physician. Mr..
Coleman's experience as druggist had
given him an acquaintance with dis
eases and their remedies, so he had a
full knowledge Of just what was neces-
sary on his part to effect cure.
''After several weeks careful treat
ment by the physician" said Mr.. Cole
man, 81 could notice no improvement
in my condition. If anything, think
I was considerably worse. The action
of my lungs had become SO weak that
was afraid to walk any distance un-
assisted for fear of falling, through loss
of respiration. My nervousness had
advanced to an alarming stage. was
not able to contain myself for even a
short time, but had always to be fum-
bling with something or moving ner-
vously about the room. 1t was while
I was in this condition that l noticed
in a paper an article on Williams Pink
Pills. determined to try them, even
though they killed me. Well, they
didn't kill me, but I'm not going to
tell you that they cured me immedi-
ately, my case was much too serious
for that. But had not taken a full
box before I felt a great relief. My
respiration was more certain, was
gradually gaining control of my nerves
and my condition was generally i'm
proved. I kept right on taking the
pills and getting well. Now I had
taken just three boxes of them when 1
considered myself cured man. And
I was right, for although quit taking
the pills, I did not relapse into my for
mer condition, but grew stronger
daily.
''It was truly marvellous cure, and
I will say that think Williams Pills
possess remarkable curative properties,
and would recommend them to the
use of the thousands of people of this
city who are nervous wrecks, or who
are suffering from diseases Of the lungs"
