HAVE YOU
NEURASTHENIA?
A Trouble much too Common.
Neurasthenia is a condition of e- haustion of the nervous system. Tha causen are varied. Continuous straio, mental and physical, without propsé rest or holidays, without proper atten- tion to diet and exercise, also worry over the struggle for existence, are the most causes. Excesses of any kind may produce it. Feme diseases, like induenza, will cause it. So will a nervos shock, anxiety, or griel.
The symptoms of neurasthenis include over-setitiveness, irritability, sleepless ness, wooknew, with an absence of all energy, bondaches, sad often nausea.
The treatment necessary 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. Dr. Williams' pink pills Lot directly on the blood, and have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of seurasthenia, A tendency to anæmia or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also corrected by the definite tonic properties of these pills.
