NERVOUSNESS DUE
TO 0vERSTUDY.
Patient Almost Despaired of Re.
c0vcry but Or. Williams Pink
Pills Cured Her.

Nervous exhaustion early shows itself
in the decreased activity Of the organs
that normally cast out the waste prod
ucts Of the body. The kidneys, skin
and bowels are deprived of some Of their
energy and o part of the poisonous waste
materials, which they readily pass of
during health, are turned back into the
blood.
The tonic treatment for nervous
troubles, by building up the blood and
supplying it with added oxygen, burns
up aud casts off the impurities and gives
to the nerves the elements they need.
In no other way can these elements
be conveyed to the nerves except through
the blood.
Mrs. Grace w. Glidden, of No. 40
Adams street, Winter Hill, Somerville,
Mass, says:

to attain the supreme dignity of queen

After a moments contemplation the
president of the committee VI. Chal-

to existence this autumn feast. The
delegates were then asked to vote for
the queen of the fete. The situation

treason to select one to the discredit

candidate was number and each del

preference on the slip provided for
him and dropped 1t into box.
The first count showed that the del
