man who has lost his appetite needs some
thing to restore it. The man whose nerves
are shattered needs something to tone and
strengthen them. Get the nerves right and
sound and refreshing sleep will follow. A
man who sleeps we'll and eats we'll and
digests and assimilates his food will not
remain i'll.
