"What is this modern disease called ner-
vous prostration 2"
If this 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 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 q
proper feeding Of the nerves.
Notice the dragged-out appearance of the
average mother during this bot season. She
can scarcely drag herself around; her nerves
and strength have been overtaxed; she has
no reserve force. She keeps up, but il is at
the expense of her nervous system. Finally
she is overcome; she can work no more !;
her nerves are exhausted; the cares and
worries of her life have gotten the better of
her, and it will require weeks and months to
recover.
Thoughtless 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 uncomplainngly all the
burdens until finally they have TO stop and
1t is question if they have not waited too
long.
In cases of this kind there is q 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 a vigorous, healthy condition This new
food is DIR. 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
two herewith, but during the hot weather of
this summer others will be published that
will be read with much interest by anyoU
suffering with weakened nerves rs q result Cf
the season or otherwise.
No more deplorable condition of the hui
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
dlstracts the loving parent, when life is
haunted by constant foreboding, when the
light of life seems to turn to smoking,
smouldering flame of torture-that's part of
nervous prostration, Just q phase of this
many-sided disease. AS its grasp upon you
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
overlooking. Such has been the experience
of Mr.. w. Heinrich Robb, No. 500 New Jer-
sey Avenue, Northwest, whose story is best
told in his own words.
:" For long time" said Mr.. Robb, ct
suffered horribly with nervous prostration,
and tried many physicians and various
highly recommended remedies without
experiencing the slightest benefit Last
fall my business called me tn Pittsburgh.
Pa, and while there my mother who re-
manned in Washington, heard through a
friend of some remarkable cures made by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and wrote recon-
mending that should try them. To please
my mother, and not with any great expecta-
