Nervous from Childhood and
Feared Paralysis.
This Missouri Girls Condition Was
Serious and Seemed Hopeless but
the Tonic Treatment Cured Her.

The value of the tonic treatment Of
nervous troubles by the use of DR.. Will
hams Pink Pills lies in the fact that
these pills do not simulate the already
exhausted nerves to keep up their work
for time longer but that they replace
the depleted nervous energy.
Miss Susan M. Kerr, OF No. 9 Mer-
RI street, Trenton, Mo-, who tried
tins treatment says:
