That's Nervous Prostration

Description of Illustration: black and white advertisement for nervous prostration from Ayer's

Text reads, "You know all about it. You are a perfect slave to your work. It's rush through the day and worry through the night. There's no time to eat and no time to sleep. Already you have nervous dyspepsia, nervous sick headache, and neuralgia. Your food distresses you. You suffer from terrible depression. The outlook is dark and forbidding. You feel sure there is but one termination to this. That's Nervous Prostration. And nervous prostration is something you don't want, that's certain. Then don't have it. A perfect Sarsaparilla prevents this distressing and dangerous disease, and it cures it, also. It keeps you up when especially pressed with work. It cures dyspepsia, and it builds up exhausted nerve tissue. But it must be a perfect Sarsaparilla to do this. So far as we can learn, there isn't but one in the world, and that's Ayer's."

Have a question about the illustration? Just type it in the comment box and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I only publish content that is closely related to the subject folks.
