Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with. their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
TO the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
