NERVOUS EXHAUSTION

Irritability, oversensitiveness, a dispo- sitlon to worry over trifles, headache, dizziness-these are symptoms of nervous exhaustion, neurasthenia.
 Very often the patient feels best and brightest at night. Rest seems to bring no refreshment, the nervous system fails to recuperate. This distressing condition is caused by worry more often than by any other one thing. Overwork and worry invite the disorder.
 The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic tonic. As the nerves get their nourish- ment from the blood the treatment must be directed towards building up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest bene.- fit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessnesss, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams. Pink Pills or they will be sent by mall at DO cents per box; six boxes $2.5O. Begin the treatment at once before your condl- tion becomes chronic.
 Two useful books, Diseases ot the Nervous System' and "What to Eat and How to Eat," will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y, if you mention this paper.
