Unless some thing is done to correct it the inevit able result will he a nervous break down, an exhaustion of nervous en ergy that may take a very serious and unforeseen turn. Neurasthenia is one such result with its accompaniment of worry, irritability, oversensitiveness and severe headache. It means that the patient has lost the power to recover and store up energy. The condition will grow worse if not corrected. 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 have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neuras thenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also cor rected by these tonic pills. Two useful books, "Diseases of the Nervous System", and "What to Eat and How to Eat" will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
