WHAT CAUSES NEURALGIA?

Among the causes of neuralgia the most important is the general physical condition of the patient. Neuralgia is most common in persons reduced in strength by overwork or some form of over-exertion, physical or mental, or by loss of sleep. Anaemia or lack of good, fed blood is a common cause of neuralgia. The reason for this is plain. The nerves get their nourishment through the blood. When the blood is thin and weak the nerves are badly nourished, they become inflamed and neuralgic pains are produced. These pains have been described as the “cry of a starved nerve.” • Hot applications to soothe these inflamed nerves and Dr Williams’ rink Pills to build up the blood and carry the needed elements to the nerves is the correct treatment and one that has brought good results in so many cases that it is no longer an experiment. Headache, backache, sleeplessness, nervous debility, nervous breakdown, St. Vitus’ dance all show good results under tlie tonic treatment witli Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. All dealers sell these pills. A booklet on “Diseases of the Nervous System,” will be sent to anyone sending name and address to the Dr Wll. Hams' Medicine Co., AVellington.
