rs the Wall Of the
Nerves for Food.
People with Weak, Flabby Nerves are the Ones who
Suffer. They may be Relieved by Building up
their Nerves with NOuriShing Nerve Food.
An Interesting Interview with Prominent Phy.
scian and Case in Point Cited.
From the Journal, KIrksrile, Mo.

"What is this modern disease called ner.
vous prostration?"
If this question had been asked physi-
elan in our grandfathers' time, he could not
have answered it. The disease was not
known then. 1t is new, and is product OF
our American hustle and worry. Stated in
brief, nervous prostration is a complete col
lapse of the nervous system. 1t is brought
on by overwork, worry or disease, and the
patient can only be cured by rest and a
proper feeding of the nerves.
Notice the dragged-out appearance of the
average mother. She can scarcely drag her.
self around her nerves and strength have
been overtaxed; she has no reserve force.
She keeps up, but it is at the expense of her
nervous system. Finally she is overcome !;
she can work no more her nerves are ex-
hausted; the cares and worries of her life
have gotten the better of her, and it will re-
Quire weeks and months to recover.
Thoughtless people say: How foolish to
work so hard and how foolish to worry"
That is very we'll, but how many thousands
of mothers there are who have burdens
enough for q score, and whose poor weak
little bodies endure uncomplainingly all the
burdens until finally they have to stop and
it is a question if they have not waited too
long.
In cases of this kind there is a food within
the reach of all, and it is always effective.
1t is to the weakened nerves what bread and
beef are to the muscular system. 1t supplies
them all the properties necessary to build
them up, strengthen them and restore them
to vigorous, healthy condition. This new
food is DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. If space permitted, we could fill
pages of this paper with the heartfelt testi-
monials of thousands who have found in
these pills their salvation. We only give
one, but later others will be published that
will be read with much interest by anyone
suffering with weakened nerves as a result of
the season or otherwise.
No more deplorable condition of the hu-
man body can be conceived than that of
nervous prostration, when every nerve in the
system seems to vie with the others to make
you miserable, when even the sunshine irri-
tates you, when the happy prattle Of the child
distracts the loving parent when life Is
haunted by a constant foreboding when the
light of life seems to turn to a smoking,
smouldering flame of torture-that's part of
nervous prostration, just phase OF this
strengthens you lose, perhaps, the power to
walk, to talk to think, even the power to
love. Death would be welcome, but alasl it
comes not until the cup of suffering is full to
overfowing. Such has been the experience
of Mr.. Henry Gehrke, whose story is best
told in his own words.
To show the results of this nerve food on a
special case. to prove the points above made,
our reporter made the following interview =
Henry Gehrke is a thrifty and prosperous
German farmer living four miles south of
Bullion, in this (Adair) county, Mo. Mr..
Gehrke has valuable farm and he has been
resident Of the county for years. He is very
well-known hereabouts and well respected
wherever he is known. Last week reporter
Of the Journal stopped at Mr.. Gehrke's and
while there became much interested in Mrs.
Gehrke's account of the benefit she had not
long since experienced from the use of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. She
said she wanted everybody to know what a
great medicine these pills are, but as SO many
people are praising them nowadays, she
modestly doubted whether her testimony
could add anything to what others had al
