WHAT YOUR NERVES NEED

Whatever medication, whatever 10
newed strength and vigor can be i'm.
parted to the nerves must reach them
through the blood. DR.. Williams' Pink
Pills are . nervine tonic but they act
on the nerves through the blood, en-
.abling the blood to carry to the nerves
the elements needed to build them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, siek headache and
. number of more severe nervous
troubles are properly treated by build
ing up the blood with DR.. Wilhams'
Pink Pills and are often entirely cor.
rected in this way.
If you are nervous you can help your
self by refusing to worry, by taking
proper rest, sleep and vacations, by
avoiding excesses and by taking out-of-
door exercise. For medicine take DR..
Williams Pink Pills, the non-alcoholie
tonic.
Sufferers from nervous disorders who
have been taking treatment without
benefit should investigate the tonic
method. Write today to the DR.. Will
iams Medicine Co. Schenectady, N. Y,
for the booklet, "Diseases of the Ner-
vous System" It will be sent free ON
request.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail
on receipt of price, 50 cents per box,
six boxes for $3.50.
