WHAT IS NEURASTHENIA?
Neurasthenia is the medical term applied to the condition of nervous exhaustion, that is very common in modern life. The patient does not appear to have any definite disease, but becomes incapable of sustained exertion. Sometimes the sufferer is subject to hysteria. If the patient can get awsLy to the country or seaside and forget all cares and worry it will help greatly towards a cure. It will also be necessary to take a reliable tonic—such a one as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for instance. These pills stimulate the appetite and assist in the nutrition of the nerve cells. 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 the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anfpmia, or bloodlessness, 6hown by most neurasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your own dealer sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
