Nervous Break Down.

ries and Frets.
From the Huron Tribune, Bad Are Mich:
A breaking down of the nervous sys-
tenn is modern eXpressi0n,-a modern
complaint. 1t is induced by prolonged
strain and the overtaxing of the nervous
system, and is a product of ovcrhurry
and hustle. 1t affects the preacher and
the lawyer-the direct result of brain
tire. 1t affects people in any walk Of life,
too, who worry and fret. 1t means de-
pleting of the nerve forces.
1t is durable by complete rest and
change of scene, also by the use of nerve
restoratlves and nerve foods. As the first
method Is not within the reach of all, the
latter offers the most universal and prac-
tleal method of treating the complaint.
When it is determined that medicine is
10 be used, select that one which contains
the most nerve-nourishing properties Do
not take nerve tones. They only stimu-
late, and the reaction leaves you worse
than you were before. Select the medi-
cine that is to the nerves what meat is to
the body-one that as it builds up the
nerves, also increases your weight. The
best thing for the purpose is DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the
reputation of which is built up by solid
and indisputable proof, and which is
known in every hamlet in the country.
As proof of its merits in such cases,
read the following letter of a clergyman:
