WHAT NEURASTHENIA IS.
Neurasthenia is the medical term applied to the condition of nervous exhaustion that is very common in modern lite. Ihe patient docs not appear to have any definite diseuse, but becomes incapablo of sustained, exertion. Sometimes the sufferer is subject to hysteria. If tho patient can get away to the country or seaside and forget all cares and worry it will i.elp 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 tho blood'the treatment must be directed towards building up the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Piils act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia.
