LOSING YOUR NERVE.

, Everybody has some store of nervous energy. When work or worry without sufficient rest exhausts this store a condition results that medical men call neurasthenia. It is commonly met with in those who have cared.for sick relatives, and business men who worry, over their affairs and neglect to take proper rest. Women who work beyond their strength, anyone who has too much excitement and too littlo rest may show the symptoms. The signs are clear. Your complexion becomes pale, you imagine unpleasant things, your brain insists onAvorking when you want to go to sleep. Sometimes you are melancholy. Things that used to pleas© you no longer ,do so. Constipation is usually present. You worry about yourself and your work and cannot forget your anxieties. No doctor can cure neurasthenia; you have to do it yourself. First, worry less and don't overtax your strength; then begin Dr Williams' "Pink Pills for Pale People, for they supply new blood to feed your worn-out nerves, and so steadily build up your health. Never accept any substitute at shops. The Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Box 845, G.P.0., Wellington, has published a free book on nervous disorders that contains a chapter on neurasthenia, in which the symptoms are fully described and the correct treatment given.
