NEURASTHENIA
Another Name for Nervous
Exhaustion.
How It Is Caused and How It Can
Be Cured Without Leaving Your
Home.

Neurasthenia is the physician name
for condition of weakness or exhaus-
ton of the nervous system. The patient
finds difficulty in keeping his mind on
his work, is inclined to worry over
trihes, is often depressed and irritable,
is subject to headaches or a feeling of
pressure on the head, is sleepess and
some times the digestion is disturbed.
Overwork or worry is often the cause.
The treatment consists largely in rest,
recreation and the use of tonic, the
discontinuance OF any practice that may
have caused the trouble and abstinence
from tea, coffee and stimulants. AS the
nerves receive their nOurishment through
the blood the latter must be builtup and
made rich and pure. Especially ii there
is loss of weight and pallor indicating
weakness of the blood, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are the tonic
best adapted to effect cure.
Mrs. James H. Dyer, of No. S1S
Princeton street, Lowell, h1ass., says:
81 was a sufferer from nervous debility
for years. felt weak all of the time
and could not stand any physical strain.
I had frequent sick headaches and often
tainted away. was worried all of the
time and was very much discouraged.
fThe doctors said | had neurasthenia,
or nervous debility, and advised COM
plete rest and change but | was unable
to take them because of my children.
For wears was under treatment and had
given up hope of cure. A friend who
had been cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People urged me to try
them. I was much stronger after a
short trial of the pills and resolved to
keep on with them. My health is now
much better than it has been in years
and recommend the pills very highly"

home treatment of nervous disorders

vous System, Their Nature, Symptoms

drugs which only deaden pain.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

From . Limestone point of view.)
Say. hev yer heerd the noos from Maine?
We've held town-meetin' here;
The cities sartin thought they'd gain.
And legalize their beer.
There's Bangor went and voted yes
And thought she'd hev her way!
But when ole Lmestun woke, guess
She had word to say.
The big towns all went wet kerfiop,
They think they're it, by gum!
But US plantations made EN- stop;
For we was goin' some.
They hadn't ought to dissipate
And ale and lager swil;
They need gardens to keep EN- straight,
And we can fill the bill.
Now, amt narrer, don't yer think,
l want made up that way;
But if them fellers want to drink,
What ails hard cider, hey?
But city folks is all for show
And like to play the hog.
1t does 'em good sometimes to know
The tail can wag the dog.
Wen keep 'em in the traces now
In spite of groans and walls;
They can't kick up no great row
While Limestun holds the scales.
This is official, up to date,
The rest is only bluff;
AS Limestun goes, SO goes the State;
She went dry, that's enuff.

Mothers Apple Pies.

I've dined in many great hotels,
Made famous by their cooks,
I've eaten dainty dishes rare
In quaint. luxurious hooks
Of distant restaurants, beneath
The gaze of foreign eyes,
But still my thoughts go fondly back
To Mothers apple pies!
Those pies! Their melting, flaky crusts.
With scallops round the rim!
Their fragrance would draw down the gaze
Of Raphael's cherubim!
Through gashes in the crust you'd see
Their oozing richness rise
My mouth just waters at the thought
Of Mothers apple pies!
And no mean little slice she'd cut
With scientific eye;
o, mol l never failed to get
A quarter of pie!
And those glad days I'll ne'er forget,
Their memory never dies
The joys of childhood's happy home.
And Mothers apple pies!

upon the farmers the great advantages
of having a special plat of ground to

the best results can be obtained, and
the farmer can select the best developed
ears for seed purposs.

J. G. Oliver, of Macon, the address being
filled with many valuable suggestions.

hope that the boys of this county would
form a fine club and compete for the
many valuable prizes offered by the
county, the state and the nation. DR..

arrangements to return here February

at the court house and giving them all
desired information relative to the work
ings of these clubs.

work, brought the excellent program to
