"what Is this modern disease called ner-
vous prOstration"
Ifthis question had been asked a physi-
clan in our grandfathers' time, he could not
have answered it. The disease was not
known then. 1t is new, and is a product OF
our American hustle and worry. Stated IN
brief, nervous prostration is % 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 q
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 oyertaxed; she has no reserve force,
She keeps up, but il is al the expense OF her
nervous system. Finally sns IS overcome
she can work no more !. her nerves are ex-
hausted; the cares and worries OF her NE
have gotten the better of her, ana II VIII re-
quire weeks and months TO recover.
ThOughtleS people say: How foolish TO
work so hard and how foolish to worry,
That is very well, but how many thousands
of mothers there are who have burdens
enough for score, and whose poor, weak
little bodies endure uneomplainingly all the
burdens until finally they haye to stop and
it is question if they have not waited too
long. ~.
IN cases of this kind there is d food within
the reach of all, and it is always effective;
tits to the weakened nerves what bread AND
beef are to the muscular system. II 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 hill
cages of this paper with the heartfelt tesii-
monials of thousands who have found in
these nils their salvation. We only give
one. hut later others viii 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 tnat o.
nervous prusiration, when every nervein tho
system seems to vie with the others TO make
you miserable, when even the sunshine lrrl
tates you, when the happy prsttle OF the ehilt
distracts the loving parent, when lie l.
haunted BY constant forebodins, when th'
light of life seems to turn TO smoking
smouldering flame of torture-that's part 0
nervous prostration, just phase OF tn
many-sided disease. As its grasp upon yoI
strengthens you lose, perhaps, the power L
walk, to talk, to think, even the power /,
love. Death would be welcome, but alas
comes not until the cup of suffering is full 3
overfowing. Such has been the experience
of Mr.. Henry Gehrke, whose story Is bes
fold IN his nzrn words
To show the results of this nerve food oni

ourreporter made the following interview: :

Of the Journal stopped at Mr.. Gehrke's an
while there became much interested in Mr.
Gehrkeis account Of the benefit she had NJ
long since experienced from the use OF y
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. 81
said she wanted everybody to know what
great medicine these pills are, but as so man
people are praising them nowadays, 81
mOdestIy doubted whether her testimon
sould add anything to what others had 0
