The prevalent maladies of d%iminution Of
the vital powers, undue physical fatigue
md mental exhaustion, are to-day engaging
the careful attention of the most eminent
Psychologists. Their prevalence is ascrilHd
tn poisoning through alcoholic drinks,
opium tainted and mlulterncd foods, roll
Eliminated water, the viatiatcd atmosphere of
road trains, the flashing of electric lights,
the clangor of street ears, the jingling of
telephone bells, the vertigo producing effects
Of lofty buildings and swift elevators, the
perpetual noises and shifting sights of city
streets, NIL the constant activities, the simp.
lest ct which involve an effort of the nervous
system and a wearing of tissue.
\ German author i'll Il recently published
work calls attention to these murderous in.
huences that heset the end of the century
and points out that the enormous increase in
nervous expenditure has not and can not
have Il corresponding increase of supply.in
the food We eat. Even If we had the choicest
food in the greatest abundance it could do
nothing toward helping us, for we would he
incapable OF digcsting it. Our stomachs can
not keep pace with the brain and nervous
system. The latter demand much than
the former are able to furnish and as the
inevitable consequence then omlc disaster.
The strongest may keep up but the weaker
fall by the way. Mankind has become tati-
laustiOn make themselves manifest in the
increase of nervous disorders, including such
new affections as the "railway brain md
railway spine," the increase of heart dis
ease, the prevalence of prccocious dental
decay and badness, of nearsightedness and
deafness and premature old age. To coun-
tcract the lncessant strain on the nerves and
IL replenish the wear and tear on the brain
caused by every line We read or write, every
face we see, every conversation We carry on,
every scene we perceive, every noise we
hear, every impression we receive is pre-
cisely the province of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. They are designed
to fill the void in the nourishment Of the
nerves and brain that no amount of choicest
food can fill. In Il concentrated form is
infinitely, richer food for the blood, and the
quantities of beef and bread.
1t is generally. agreed that aman's physi-
cal condition is dependent, to Il great degree,
upon the nature of his employment. Men
whose occupation necessitatcs the constant
use of the brain, without any opportunity
TOR physical exercise, are generally nervous,
while men employed at manual labor re-
4uiiinS ITO eAeTclSe OF the Dfttln flnct1On,
are almost universally possessed of sound
nervous systems, not easily disturbed by cx-
citing events.
\ striking illustration of this principle is
found in the case of Professor George +.
Coleman, who is IL professional pianist, and
who was, until within recent years, Il drug
gist. Professor Coleman lives at 1880 Blu
chanan Street, San Francisco. lie is well
known here as Il pianist, having played ut
some OF the most popular music halls in the
city. Mr.. Coleman is not a man of strong
frame, and he has been an easy prey to the
severe, nervous tension of his work at the
