WORRY IS A DISEASE

The disorder which causes its victims
to worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not is neurasthenia.
Neurasthenia is entirely distinct from
hysteria although the patient may have
both diseases at the same time.
Neurasthenia often results from some
nervous shock, such as the loss of q
near relative, business reverses, or some
severe overstrain on the nervous sys-
tenn. The patient is usually pale, show
ing that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is to build up the blood be-
cause anything that builds up the gen.
cral health helps to correct the neu-
rasthenic condition. Rest and good
tonic is the very best treatment in most
cases.
Dr.. williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because they
are non-alcholic and neurasthenic patti
epts should avoid alcoholic stimulants.
The DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y, has published a
little book on nervous disorders that
contains a chapter on neurasthenia, in
which the symptoms are fully described
and the correct treatment given. The
booklet is free on request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
your own druggist or will be sent BY
mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, so
cents per box, six boxes for $3.50.
