ILL FROM OVERWORK
NERVOUS PROSTaATIoN CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
BY Toning up the Blood and Nerves Pa
tient Recovered Weight, Strength

When the nervous system Is broken

life loses its joys. Not only is the ner-
vous victim "A sufferer himself but he is

Nervous breakdown is often gradual,
appearing at first to be merely an unu-
sual fretfulness. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
Mr.. w. w. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park,

took no interest in life, neither in bust
ness nor recreation. In my position, as
foreman in large manufacturing
chemists establishment in Boston,
good memory is absolutely essential to
success because of the immense amount
of detail that must be carried in the head.
II grew very despairing, could not

at the end of two weeks the change for
the better was remarked by friends. I
continued using the pills until was
thoroughly recovered. regard them as
a fine remedy and make this statement
voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit

These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matism, nervous and general debility,
indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia. AS tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.
If you are sufferer from any disor-
der of the blood and nerves write for
proof of what DIR. Williams Pink
Pills have accomplished in cases similar
to yours. Every testimonial used by
this company is carefully investigated
before being published and is authentic.

In every case which l have inves-
tigated.' said an officer of a surety
company. Il have found a woman at
the bottom. Although the man stole
the money 20 gamble or speculate.
when a searching inquiry is made we
always found a woman who was ex-
travagant, with whom the man had
become infatuated, or a wife who
nagged him for more than he could
afford.
Men frequently embezzle to invest
in schemes which they are led to be-
lieve will turn out well They are
probably married and desire to get
ahead socially. They need money to
do it.
Their homes must be well fur
nished, their wives beautifully dress
ed The situation goads them to take
the risk. Without any thought of be-
ing dishonest they use the bank
money for personal investments.
With maa who becomes infatu-
ated with dashing woman the end
comes more quickly. There is a rapid
pace, with motor cars. theaters. cafes
and other places of entertainment He
loses his head, loses all sense OF dis
erection. Recently an official of a large
Chicago bank threw $40 bills to a bal
let dancer on theater stage. This ex-
cited suspicion. His accounts were
investigated, and to-day he is serving
in prison"
Thefts of "Big Men,"
The majority of bank thefts, ac.
cording to bonding concerns, are by
employees of the institution-cashiers
tellers, clerks. More money, however.
is usually stolen by dishonest presi-
dents or other officers. The aggregate
stolen by employees is comparatively
small compared with the tremendous
thefts of the big men"
Bank embezzlements during 1906,
according to figures supplied by big
bonding company of New York,
amounted to s12,s35,215. This total
was the greatest since 1894, when de-
falcations, following the panic of 1893,
amounted to $25,234 .112. The average
amount of money which surety COM
panies of the country are called upon
to make good is said to be $500, 900 q.
month.
An embezzlement, occording to tho
representative of surety company,
is reported in Philadelphia every two
weeks. The average is said to be
proportionately larger in New York
and Chicago.
