Nine-tenths of all the ailment3 to which the hum-in family is heir, aro dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestio l. When there is an. insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general Btate of debility of the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result Starved nerves, likft starved muscles, become strong when tho right kind of food is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the uei-ves recover.
