FAT NERVES.

A whirl of excitement was
recently caused in the scien-
tihc world by the news that
the mystery of nerve action
has been solved.
1t is announced that healthy
nerves are fat nerves-and
that it is the fat in the core of
the nerve which is sensitive
and by hardening and soften
ing creates nerve action.
Maybe this explains why
SCOTS Emulsion has always
been such a remarkable remedy
for nervousness.

nerves with the best of all fats,

that he did not bring up the question of govern
