AN Italian claims to have made a
valuable discovery. He says he has
learned how TO tune up nerves, like
the chords of a violin, and bring them
into harmony. The nerves lose their
tone, he thinks. like any musical IN
strument, and il they all run down
alike, it is Of little Importance, as they
will still act together. But when the
general harmony is destroyed, by ae-
cident or uneven strain. the whole sys-
TEN is disturbed, and health suffers.
This difficulty he claims power to rec,
tify. and calls himself ia nerve tuner.
