IF YOU WORRY, READ THIS

Worry never brought any good to
anybody. But, you say, 81 don't worry
because want to, worry because 1
can't help it," Or, II worry because
! have so much to worry about"
We all have our troubles and worry,
OF course, makes matters worse. The
patient generally recognizes this fact
without being able to profit by it.
The doctor who could meet this ner-
vous condition and cure it would be
the most popular medical man alive.
But he cannot do it because the form
of nervous exhaustion known as neuras-
thenia, of which worry is characteristic
symptom, must be cured by the patient
himself. That is why you should write
today for the book "Diseases OF the
Nervous System" and read the chapter
on "Neurasthenia." So many people
have read it and written back, "This
hits my case exactly, am giving the
treatment trial and being benefited"

Schenectady, N. Y. has had lot of
these books printed and will send you
