that if a prisoner is committed before
the evening meal hour of one day and
is not discharged until after noon of
the next day, he is charged with two

NERVOUS EXHAUSTION ,
Irritability, oversensltiveness, a dls- i
position to worry over trifles, head
ache, dizziness —these are symptoms
of nervous exhaustion, neurasthenia.
Very often the patient feels best
and brightest at nucht. Rest seems
to bring no refreshn.int, the nervous
system fails to recupe. ate. This dis
tressing condition is cauied by worry
more often than by any other one
thing. Overwork and worry invite the
disorder.
The treatment Is one of nutrition
of the nerve cells, requiring a non
alcoholic tonic. As the nerves get
their nourishment from the blood the
treatment must be directed towards
building up the blood. Dr. Williams' '
Pink Pills act directly on the blood
and with proper regulation of t>.e diet
have proved of the greatest benefit In
many cases of neurasthenia. A tend
ency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients,
is also corrected by these tonic pills.
Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills or they will be sent by
mail at 50 cents per box; six boxes |
$2.50. Begin the treatment at once
before your condition becomes
chronic.
Two useful books, "Diseases of the
Nervous System" and "What to Eat
and How to Eat," will be sent fre« by
the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., ScHen
