The reason that neuralgia so often re curs after the ordinary treatment is not because it is incurable but because these treatments fail to remove the cause. Neuralgia has been .correctly called the cry of the starved nerves for better blood. Its most common cause is debility. In every case of neuralgia it will be found that,the general health is run down and that consequently the nerves are not re ceiving sufficient nourishment. Cold, dampness and decayed teeth are some times indirect causes but only to the ex tent that the body is unable to resist, owing to its debilitated condition. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills afford the most effective treatment of neuralgia. They build up the general health and fully nourish the underfed nerves in the only possible way by building up and purify ing the blood. Mrs. Thomas Stott, of No. 211 Jack son street, Redwood City, Cal., who was cured of neuralgia, says: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills helped me right away and in a short time com pletely cured me of neuralgia. I had been suffering for nearly a year from neuralgia in my head. The pains were sharp and cutting and were through my temples and the back of my head. They were worse whenever I was out in the wind or night air. I suffered a great deal and many times I could hardly keep up. I was also troubled occasion ally with cramps in the stomach. I was led to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through reading about them in a newspaper. I found them a great relief and was entirely cured. I now keep them in the house and always recom mend them to my friends." Neuralgia is an unfailing warning that the nervous system is feeble because there' is a lack of pure red blood and, therefore, a lack of nourishment to the nerves. This dependence of the nerves upon the blood for their nourishment and health is fully described . in our. booklet, "Diseases of the Nervous Sys tem," which will be sent free upon re quest. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have also cured sciatica, St. Vitus' dance, partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box? six boxes for $2.50, by the r. Williams W.j;--...
