h1cts humanity outside OF contagious dis
eases is due to the breaking down Of some
vital organ. When a certain part fails
to do it's allotted work the whole machinery
goes to smash, and the only way to4cure
1t is to build up the part which has
caused all the trouble. The doctor claims
thatsthe nervous energy Is what runs the
vital machinery, and his method Of cure
is to replace that power.
1.-THE majority OF cases which I am
treating now said the doctor, "are Of
men broken down by nervous strain, over
work. over-eating and late hours. In
them the cid ambition is gone, self-con-
fdence Is lacking. and there seems to be
a tendency to premature old age Tn such
cases my treatment is most effective. as
its effect is to restore the life, of the
nerves and all vital organs 49,.
"As an example Of the influence of my
treatment upon such men, look at this
case. Herman Henrichs, 4141; Bowman
avenue, Danville, ILL.,. says: I will write
now and let you know how much good
your Belt has done me- feel like a new
man since have been wearing your Belt.
I would not be without it for any amount
Of money. Ihave gained flesh rapidly and
sound and healthy as: at any time
in my life. You may use my name as you
see fit i 8 z*@: ~,
''Take a man who has large response
bilittes upon his shoulders, whose brain
has to- be. constantly active, and whose
energies are under pressure every hour
of the day, and sometimes during hours
when he should be getting his sleep which
furnishes recuperation for the next days
work. He suddenly finds that his appetite
for work has gone from him. his interest
in his duties lags, he becomes stale. slow
thinking, tired, lstless, every impulse
within him says: Quit! Quit!! Quit.!r
Where he used to think that his capacity
for work was unlimited, all at once he
finds that he feels like man chained
down hand and foot, powerless, helpless.
THAT man is a nervous. wreck, just
worked out. He had more steam at first
than he thought he had any use for, and;
believing that he could allow his work to
drive him without restraint he has gone
on using up his vital energies until all his
reserve force has been exhausted-drained
dry. You can bet that he appreciated nv
common expression: THE power iof the
nerves is like the steam in an engine, it
runs the human machinery. When it's
gone, the machine stops
There you can see the difference be-
tween normal and excessive use Of the vital
nerve forces. The stomach is creating
new nerve life every minute, because as
the food is burned up in the human fur
mace (the stomach) 1T generates carbon1c
heat, which is electricity, or nerve energy.
This electricity feeds the brain and all
ach generates the power the nerves take
it up and apply it to the use of the brain
and other vital parts. So long as the
demand is no greater than the supply the
system increases in strength and runs in
perfect balance, but when the demand
upon the stomach exceeds it's ability to
supply then we call upon the reserve
force. When that is exhausted we have
taken the foundation from the stomach
and it breaks down, and when it, the en-
CINE of life, refuses to work any longer
everything collapses. There are men all
around you WHO are broken down in this
way. Here is a man who thinks good
deal Of my treatment: Mr.. George Cook,
Goodhue, Mimi must admit that your
belt is helping me very much indeed. The
pain in the small Of my back is entirely
gone and feel better in general. With
