TONIC FOR NEURASTHENIA.
Everybody has some store of nervous energy. . When work or worry without sufficient rest exhausts this store, a condition results that medicaPinen call neurasthenia.
It o 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 little rest, may show the symptoms.
The signs, are clear. Your complexion becomes pale, you imagine unpleasant things, your brain insists on working when you want to go to sleep. Sometunes you are melancholy. Things that used to please 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; yon have to do it yourself. First, Worry less and don't overtax your strength; then begin Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, for >hey supply new blood to feed your worn-out nerves, and so steadily build up your health,. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s a box. AOB
There is an amusing epigram (writes Mr ftarold Spender from the United States' to the London "Daily Telegraph"):—"New York is a city, governed by. Irishmen, inhabited by Jews, andoccasionally visited by Americans." ■There is, indeed ; a certain amount of truth in that epigram. There are certain streets in Mew York down which you can walk at midday without hearing a single word of the American language. They are the streets of the clothing trades and of the diamond merchants. Social workers, in New York tell me that one, of their chief difficulties in dealing with the poor of New York is this trouble of the language.
