Nervous
Troubles

That DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People have cured OBJ
stinate cases of 1ocomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, and St. Vitus'
dance, is the best evidence that
they will cure all lesser nervous
disorders, because the principle in
the threatment of all nervous dis
eases is the same. Nervousness is
a question of nutrition. Food for
the nerves is what is needed and
the best nerve food in the world
Is DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
Mrs. Annie H. Masee, Of Port Austin,
Mich, says: "My daughter, Jean, was
always delicate child, had stomach trou-
bic, nervous debility and general weak
ness. She had to be taken out Of school
and kept from all study for nearly five
years. About three years ago she began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and l am happy to say they have
helped her to become healthy, happy
girl who no longer needs medicine of any
kind. 1t scarcely seems possible she can
be the same one who few years ago was
delicate, almost hopeless, sufferer"
