A BLESSING
IN DISGUISE
Nervous Breakdown Is a Warn-
ing That You Must | Iced to
Avoid Something
Worse.

Nervous exhaustion, or breakdown d
the nerves, is more often q blessinp
than anything else. The nerves have
rebelled and you should be thankful it
is no worse than it is. Let it serve as a
sharp warning to relieve the strain and
to take treatment that will build up
your nerves.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are a real nerve tonic. They sup
ply plenty of nourishing red blood to
the exhausted nerves and do not excite
and urge them on to do work which
they have already shown they can
not do. Medicines which whip on the
tired nerves do moro harm than no
medicine at all. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People not only start in
Immediately to give relief but continue
to strengthen the nerves until they are
able to do their work once more.
Mrs. j. E. Udelle, whose address is
Box 13O, r. F. D. No. l, Osseo, Minn.,
says: II was so completely worn out
from overwork and nervousness that I
was unable to continue at my work as
dressmaker. 1 was very weak and nv
back ached continually. NV stomach
was go weak that could eat nothing
but light food and even then 1 would
have pains like cramps. Gas formed
on my stomach. 1 was short of breath
and had palpitation of the heart. I
was in bed for three months. AT Daven-
port, Iowa, I was under doctors care
but received only temporary relief so
gave it up. l then used DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. When be-
gan using the pills I had no strength at
all and had lost great deal in weight.
!! did not have to take the pills LONG
before l felt better. l gave the pills q
tair trial and was entirely cured.'
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
