A BLESSING
IN DISGUISE
Nervous Breakdown Is a Wann-
ing That You Must Heed to
Avoid Something
Worse.

Nervous exhaustion, or breakdown OF
the nerves, is more often blessing
than anything else. The nerves have
rebelled and you should be thankful it
is no worse than it is. Let it serve as q
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 real nerve tonic. They sup
DIV 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 more harm than no
medicine at all. DIR. 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 130, r. F. d. No. l, Osseo, Mimi,
says: 'rI was so completely worn out
from overwork and nervousness that L
was unable to continue at my work as
dressmaker. was very weak and my
back ached continually. My stomach
was SO weak that | could eat nothing
but light food and even then I would
have pains like cramps. Gas formed
on my stomach. I was short of breath
and had palpitation of the heart. /

port, Iowa, was under doctors care
but received only temporary relief SO
gave it up. / then used DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. When be-
gan using the pills / had no strength at
all and had lost great deal in weight.
1 did not have to take the pills long
before 1 felt better. I gave the pills a
fair trial and was entirely cured"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are guaranteed to be free from
any harmful or habit-forming drugs.
They have given the most gratifying
results in nervous headaches, neuralgia,
nervous dyspepsia, st. Vitus' dance,
and even in partial paralysis and loco
motor ataxia. Write for the free book
