Brain Nerve Cells.

Investigations in the line Of physio-
logical psychology show that in the case
of the vast majority the brain attains
its maximum weight by the age of 10.
and examination of sections of the spinal
cord shows that between the time Of
birth and the age of ! 5 there has been 100
per cent increase in the number of de-
veloped nerve cells, while an increase
of only 4 6 per cent has been shown
after 10; the brain also shows, with
advancing age, decline in actual
weight and in the number OF connective
fibers which afford the physical sub
strata for thinking and for association.
Roughly expressed, nerve cells are said
TO be plastic in inverse proportion to their
ages. Further, nerve cells have been
shown to decrease in volume some so
per cent as a result of fatiguing exer-
else Exercise, however, of every sem
sorry and motor brain tract is very bene-
fetal when not carried beyond the prop
err point, such exercise putting the
nerve cell in tie best possible condition
for assimilating more nutriment and
developing more fully. Inaction in any
tract tends to an undeveloped spot and
to atrophy.

Does Baby
I hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
