NERVOUS COLLAPSE
IS OFTEN PREVENTED BY DR..
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Taken When the First Warning Symp-
toms Are Noticed Much Needless
Suffering May Be Saved.

Are you troubled with pallor, loss of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body, shortness of breath after slight
exertion, peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi-
ties or feeling of weight and fullness?
DO not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. 1t
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to the nerves to keep them healthy
and able to do their work.
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief The tonic treatment by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, however, pre-
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red and pure.
