The man or woman v. ho is worried over business, health or family affairs, and carries these worries to his meed-, is forcing his stomach to a state of rebellion, which may lead to days ami ; nights of di-tress. 'Medical authorities have discovered that the .stomach ncs-ds nine limes more blood when it is active than , when it is empty. The overworked man 1 not only diminishes the quality of his blood but, when lie adds worry to the strain, he deprives the stomach of some of the blood essential to the digestive processes, t There is an intimate relationship between j blood anti nerves. The nerves depend entirely upon the blood for their nourish- | nicnt, and depleted blood means poorly | nourished nerves. Enrich the blood and the | nerves will gain strength and the stomach | will be able to perform its functions. I To build up the blood there is one remI cdy that has been a household word for a j generation, Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale | People. They tone up the entire system, ) make the blood rich and red, strengthen the ! nerves, increase the appetite, put colour in | the cheeks and lips and drive aw’ay that | unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of sun i light, good wholesome food anti fresh air { will do the rest. Two booklets. “Diseases of tire Nervous System,” and “What to Flat, and How to 1 Eat” will bo sent free to any address on I request. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills are sold j by your own chemist, or storekeeper or will I be sent, post paid, on receipt of price, 3/- | per box, by the Dr Williams’ Medicine Co., i Box Sls.
