"What Weakened individual"

"What Weakened individual"
The person referred to did, indeed, look
broken down, dispirited, and lifeless.
What is the matter with him? d"
81 scarcely know. During the cool
weather he seems to be sll right and to have
some life and little ambition; but the mo-
ment the hot weather comes he simply willis
down and seems to have neither strength nor
vitality"
That explained the case. The man was in a
generally rundown condition with not
enough reserve force to resist the enervating
effects of the season. His nerves were weak,
uustrung as we say. The food he ate only
partially reinforced his strength. The result
was, he had constantly drawn on his reserve
force so long that his nerves finally rebelled
and sounded the gong for him to stop. If
the signal be needed and he take steps to re-
fresh and build up his nervous system, he
will recover; if not and the strain goes on,
nothing can save him.
q" If such case be taken in time will the
use of good, wholesome food and plenty of
rest restore the patient?"
" If the patient have naturally strong
constitution It possibly may, otherwise, no.
What is needed is food which is specially
adapted for the nerves. Something which
contains the elements that 90 to make nervous

Is there anything specially adapted to
this purpose
There are a good many things recon-
mended for this purpose. But the trouble
with nearly all Of them is, they are only
tonics or stimulants. They apparently ben.
eft, but it is only for a time then the patient
is worse than before. But there is one food
for the nerves, | am happy to say, in which
have the greatest confidence, which is in re-
ality food 1t contains just those vitalizing
principles which impart new nerve force it
builds up the nerves, and by imparting to

back to normal, healthy condition. They
are fortified against the hot weather, the man
recovers his energy his force, and he walks
with an elastic step. He drives his work with
will, where before it drove him. His spirits
rise, and everything looks bright TO him
This food is DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, which are now known and used the
world over-in North and South America
England and the English provinces, Canada
India, So. Africa, France. They are so widely
known and their excellent effects in nerve
building so much talked about both here and
abroad, that 1t is not necessary for me to en-
large further on the subject. But can as.
sure you the medical profession everywhere
are very glad indeed to avail themselves of
this nerve food, SO scientifically compounded,
and that they use it very largely in their
practice"
This was a conversation recently had be.
tween our reporter and noted local physi.
clan, whose opinion is very highly regarded in
medical circles, and it furnishes clue for
thousands who are suffering during these
summer months from weakened nervous
force
To show the results of this nerve food on
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 a reporter
of the Journal stopped at Mr.. Gehrke's and
Gehrke's account of the benefit she had not
