NEURALGIA IS
THE! CRY OF A
STARVED nerve
II You Have Neuralgia Pains and
Your Blood Is Thin Try Building
Up the Blood

The one symptom of neuralgia is
pain. Just before the pain there may
be uneasy sensations. perhaps ting
ling in the affected part. The pain Of
neuralgia is not constant. 1t recurs
at intervals and then subsidies.
Particularly in the case of persons
having q tendency to anemia, or lack
Of blood. neuralgia is due to the fail
ure of the blood to carry nourishment
to n nerve. 1t is due to malnutrition,
nerve starvation and the pain of neu-
ralgia has been described by an emf
nent scientist as the cry Of a nerve
correct neuralgia is to build up the
blood so that it can give the nerves
the elements they need.
Mrs. Charles Hendry, Of No. 1895

mother of u fine family and herself
the picture of health was a sufferer
from neuralgia for a number OF years.
THE pain would come on at certain
hours every day" says Mrs. Hendry.
and the muscles of my face would
swell. l was nearly distracted with
the pain. l had terrible headaches.
my cars would ache and l would be
up night after night putting applica-
tions on my face. My whole head
was sore from the pain.
Il took DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
anemia when 1 was a girl in my
teens in Scotland and when one Of
my friends told me few mopths ago
that the pills were good for neural
gia 1 gave them a trial. After 1 had
taken the pills a couple Of weeks
didn't have so much pain and the Pc
RODS between the attacks were OF
shorter duration. This was so en-
couraging that l took the pills for
three months and haven't had an at
tack since.
Il am very grateful to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. no longer have the neu-
ralgia pains, swelling of the face. nor
headache and / can 60 to bed now
knowing that l am going to get a
good nights Sleep"
More disturbances to health are
caused by thin blood than you have
any idea of. When the blood is i'm
poverished the nerves suffer from
lack Of nourishment and you may
have insomnia, neuritis, neuralgia or
sciatica. Muscles subject to strain
are under nourished and you may
haze muscular rheumatism or lumba
go. If your blood is thin and you
begin to show symptoms of these dis
orders try building up the blood with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and see If
the symptoms do not disappear as
the blood is restored to normal.
