ell-its ei fee ta upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. K ine-teuths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient Bupply of nerve food in. the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses find ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which tlte vital forces of the body are earried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quanti ty of the kind of nutriment iiecessaiy to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon tk.e nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary ttat a nerve food bo (applied. This recent production of the South American Con jient has been found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements ou'L of which nf rve tissue is formsd. This accounts for its magic power to euro all forms of nervous
