+ EASY TO CURE !

1t appears that it is one of the simplest
things in the world to prevent and cure ner-
vousness. In fact, there seems to be no
more excuse for man to be nervous than
there is for him to be poor;
| have been investigating the subject late,
y, and find that nervousness can be cured
by simply wearing rubber heels on your
shoes. That is all there is to it; The seat
of all nervous disorders is located at the base
of the brain, and the jar of walking when
hard heel is worn causes repeated shocks TO
the delicate organism of the nervous system,
and it is TO this fact that all cases of ner-
vousness are due know this to be SO be-
cause read it in the paper.
So we see what an easy matter it is to
handle case OF nervousness. 1t is best, OF
course, that a person afflicted with nervous
ness should not be allowed to hear any noise:
oise is, in fact, the fundamental cause OF
all nervousness. Once remove a nervous
person to place where there is no possibil.
ity of hearing sounds or noises Of any kind
and cure is assured. Noise affects the
ears principally, and right there is the ori-
gin of all nervous conditions. The ears
should never be allowed to become nervous.
1t is we'll to remember that the diet has a
great deal to do with the condition of the
nerves, for the simple reason that the stom-
ach is where the nerve centers are situated,
and it is only by regulating the diet that we
can get at the disease at all. No liquid
or solid foods should be taken into the stom-
ach, if person is the least bit inclined to
nervousness, or wishes to avoid nervous dis
orders Of all kinds.
On account of the reaction no stimulants
whatever should be taken by nervous per-
son. 1t is the reaction after stimulants
that really causes nervousness. anyway.
Avoid the use of tobacco, alcoholic .bever-
ages, tea and coffee and drugs of every kind,
as their influence is directly upon the heart,
which really controls the nervous system.
Excitement of any kind will speedily bring
on several kinds of diseases, all having their
origin in the nervous ystem. All that a
person has to do in order to bs free from
nervous disorders is to avoid excitement.
He must keep entirely by himself, in Sc
cluded place, where nothing will ever hap
pen, and refrain from thinking. The habit
of thinking, if INDUCED in by a person Of
a nervous temperament, will bring ON all
sorts of disorders of nervous character
In this connection allow me to say that
it is really astonishing how the mind controls
the body, and to what an extent its influence
is extended. This is we'll illustrated by the
fact that the mind completely dominates the
nerves, which have their center at the base
of the spine, and that in order to have the
nervous system in good working order the
mind must be kept absolutely free from any
tend to agitate it in the least The details
of business or domestic cares or responsl-
bilities. or brain work of any kind, that re-
moves the mind from the ordinary channels,
must not be INDUCED in, or nervous troubles
will surely follow, as natural consequence.
Keep the mind perfectly empty, if you have
to use suction pump.
Exercise is what causes the nerves to break
down. The constant wear and tear on the
nerves, which are principally in the arms,
legs and back, cause them to give out finally,
under the strain, and nervous wreck is the
consequence. Absolute rest is the only
preventive of nervous troubles.
Riding, either on the cars or in any way
whatsoever, causes a constant vibration
conscious of this. but it is always present,
and invariably causes trouble. The ner-
vous system soon gives way under it. Ex-
treme nervousness is the result. The only
way to avoid nervousness is to refrain from
riding.
When person sleeps the body falls into
state of collapse, as it were. The muscles
relax, and the nerves become numbed and in
active, and the result is that upon waking
the system has to go through the process
of getting into running order again. and that
wears it out. Soon person finds that he
is becoming nervous, and he finally falls
a victim to nervous troubles of all kinds.
1t has been ascertained that while a
person is talking there is constant buzzing
inside the head, which is so slight, of course,
that the person himself is entirely uncon-
scious of it, but which constantly excites the
nerve forces, which are located just behind
the eyes This gradually brings on'all sorts
of disorders of the nervous ystem.
1t will be seen from this that nervousness
and all kindred ills are entirely unnecessary
and uncalled for, and yet, venture here to
say, there are people who will go right on
neglecting these things, and suffering. They
would rather have diseases enough to start
hospital with than attend to the simple
precautions necessary to keep disease away
People are very peculiar.
