harmless in all its effects upon the delicate individual. Nine-tenths of

Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply oil tho power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the

first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con

For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve iood be supplied,
