THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT.. THURSDAY, DEC. 22, 1921. 7 WHEN NERVES ARE NEAR EXHAUSTION A Tonic Shouid be Taken to Enrich the Blood. When you become so exhausted after a day's work that you cannot sleep, or sleep fails to refresh you, it is time to look after your health. Failure to act at once means a steady drain on your health reserve, which can result In but one thing--a nervous break-Do not wait for a breakdown. The treatment is simple enough if you do not let your condition become too far advanced. The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring an effective tonic. As the nerves have to be nourished by the blood, the vital fluid must be built up. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in nervous troubles. Mrs. Mary McAdam, Sydney Mines, N.S., is one of the many who has proved this tonic treatment, says: "Last winter my health pletely gave out. I was all run down and my nervous system in a condition that greatly alarmed me. I often had nervous headaches, and at severe pains in the region of my heart. I felt as though I would never be well again. My husband got me a supply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and before the second box was finished I began to improve and under a further use of the pills I felt as well as ever. 1 would advise all weak and nervous women to give this medicine a trial." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Concerning them, Mrs. Albert Hamel, reville, Que., writes: -- "Baby' Tablets are the best medicine I know of for little ones. They relieved my little girl from constipation when nothing else would and I can strongly recommend them to other mothers."
