WHAT YOUR NERVES NEED.
WHEN NEURASTHENIA THREATENS. Neurasthenia is nothing more or less than exhaustion of the nervous system; it means that the nerves are not receiving the nourishment they need. The causes of neurasthenia are varied, the chief among them being worry, continuous work —mental and physical—without adequate rest or holidays, and without proper attention to diet or exercise. Excesses of any kind may produce it. Some diseases, like influenza, will cause neurasthenia, and so will a severe shock, intense anxiety or grief. The symptoms are- over-sensitiveness, irritability, a tendency to worry over trifles, headache, a sense of impending disaster, insomnia and possibly pains in the limbs. The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, and, as the nerves get their nourishment from the blood, the treatment must be directed towards building up the blood. Because Dr Williams’ Pink Pills act directly on the blood, purifying and enriching it, they have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A course of Dr Williams' Pink Pills will give new tone to the whole nervous system, and the result will quickly show in improved appetite, greater vitality, new strength and a more cheerful outlook on life. So begin to-day to feed your starved nerves by taking Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. Of all chemists and storekeepers, 3s a bottle—nothing else will do.
