NEURALGIA'S ONE SYMPTOM

Neuralgia is disease which has but
one symptom-pain.
The pain of neuralgia is sharp and
shooting with intervals of freedom.
An attack of neuralgia does not give
immunity but occurrences are the rule.
The same nerve is generally affected
which means that this particular nerve
has lost its resistance and that there
will be recurring attacks until the
strength of the nerve is built up.
How can the strength of a nerve be
restored? The nerves are nourished en-
tirely by the blood and weak nerves are
toned up by supplying to the blood the
elements that the nerves lack. As the
general health and strength of the
patient are built up the nerves resume
their normal functions, inflammation
caused by lack of nutrition disappears
and the neuralgia attacks cease.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are tonic
exceptionally we'll suited for the treat
ment of neuralgia because they contain
no alcohol, stimulating or habit-form-
ing drugs. The tonic treatment with
these pills is we'll worth trial by any
sufferer from neuralgia.
Write today for booklet on nervous
disorders to the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sells the pills or they will be
sent postpaid at 30 cents per box.
