energy enough for all and the supply

neglected organ becomes sick and dis
plays what is commonly called "symp-

| The organ may be perfect and sim
ply lacks energy to put it into healthy
| action, as the machine lacks power to
put it in motion. New nervous energy
must be generated in the nervous sys-
tenn. When this is done the organ be-
comes healthy and the sick symptoms
disappear.
To generate the natural elements
necessary to make healthy nerve mat
ter which are albumin, fat, oZmozone
and PHOSPHORUS. a preparation Of
nerve food containing these elements
must be supplied, and it in this par
ticular function that Wheeler's Nerve
vitalizer excels and it is the secret Of
its success in curing not only nervous
diseases, but all diseases cauesd in
any way by nerve weakness. DIR.
Wheeler makes no secret Of what
wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer is composed
of because he wishes his patients to
know how and why they are cured.
Physicians and scientific chemists
marvel at the potent power Of Wheel
e,rs Nerve vitalizer that cures abso-
lutely ard permanently every form Of
nervous disease regardless of its name
Or cause.

AS the strength of a chain equals
only the strength of the weakest link,
so is the body only as strong as the
weakest organ.
The source of all vital energy which
operate the organs is contained In and
furnished by the nerves. therefore the
strength of the organs is equal only to
that Of the nerves. no more nor less.

Why You Can't Crush nm EEE

II the fingers OF the two hands are
Aterioeked. and an egg taken length

found impossible to crush 1t with the
greatest force that can be eSerted If,
however. the pressure is applied along
the short axis OF the egg. Il can be
crushed with ease.
This is directly due TO the character
istic shape OF the egg. which is known
as probate spheroid. 1t is clear that
when pressure is exerted on the two
ends the tendency is TO bring them to.
gether and cause the spheroid to be-
come perfect sphere. But the sphere
so produced would contain n larger
volume than the original spheroid;
hence when the egg Is compressed
lengthwise there is tendency to in
crease its holding capacity and, as the
shell is air tight, to produce vacuum
In its interior.
Thus the whole weight of the at
mosphere- fifteen pounds to the
square inch-comes into play to pre-
vent the change of shape and supports
the egg against any attempt to crush
1t. Along the short axis, however, the
egg can easily be crushed, as the
tendency is here to diminish its ca
pacity, and the atmospheric pressure
does not come into play.

in England, that pulpit hourglasses
were introduced. The pulpits had be-
come very "drumecclesiastic." and in
the middle of the seventeenth century
Puritan preachers held forth for two
hours and more to drowsy hearers.
To remedy this abuse hourglasses
were fixed upon the pulpits, and we
read of Il preacher in 1923 who was
attended by man who brought aft
er him his book and hour glass" Some
churches were also provided with half
hour glasses, and we may imagine
with what anxiety the parsons choice
was looked for by clerk and congrc-
cation if his sermons We're dull and
dry.
In the sixteenth century ironwork
stands were iitlcd for the reception of
the hourglaSS. some of which were
very elaborate in design and of cost
ly materials. They fingered in coun-
try churches for many years, but ceas-
ed TO be in general use after the Res
