lower Kansas avenue place Sunday
evening. Two men, named Noyes and

Symptoms of

Which ForeteIl tina Approach Of
Nervous Prostitution. Paralysis
and Looomotor Ataxia.

Twitching OF the nerves and muscles,
constituencies to light, sound and mo-
ton. Jerking of the limbs, sleepIessness,
headache and indigestion-such are
some of the symptoms Of exhausted
nerves.
Because there is no acute pain people
do not always realize the seriousness of
nervous diseases. They do not think of
the helplessness of body and mind
which is the result Of neglecting such
ailments.
Because of its extraordinary control
over diseases of the nerves. DR.. A. w.

considered the one great tres tment for
