DR.. Miles, Nervine.

An active Mind suffering from overe1ertion. grief
trouble, worry OF household cares demands from
the body greater amount of fuel for the vital
fires than the digestive organism supply. 1t
requires certain amount Of vital force to operate
the human machine, and when all the available
supply of force is absorbed by the overworked brain
there is nothing left for the stomach 1t is easy
now to understand why irritability and dyspepsia
have become almost synonymous: why nervous
person is usually very particular and capricious
about food. 1t is an almost undisputed fact that
no marked progress can be made toward the ulti-
mate cure If any disease until the mind is put into
