A Bond of Sympathy

The inside nerve system is plainly the
most important system in the human
body. Our life rests on the action of the
vital organs. While they worlk we live.
When they stop we die. While they per-
form their duties properly we are well.
When they perform their duties poorly
We are i'll. And the vital organs, each and
every one, depend upon the inside nerve
system, for il not only regulates them-it
operates and controls them.
The work of the inside nerves is not
only the-most- important-it is the most
laborious. For our other nerves are eX-
erted only at will. We think and talk and
exercise only we feel inclined, and when
We are tired we rest. But the stomach,
the heart, the liver. the kidneys, must
constantly and continuOuSly-day and
night-fresh or tired, perform their neces-
sary duties. We have no way of knowing
even that they are tired or at fault save
the weakening of the organs they supply.
But this strong bond of sympathy has a
useful purpose. For it shows US clearly
that all are branches of one great system
that if we make the system strong We
strengthen every branch. This is why so
many ailments can be cured by one form
OF treatment. For almost all sickness is
nerve sickness-inside nerve sickness and
other kinds of sickness, such purely
organic arrangements are frequently due
to lack of proper inside nerve treatment.

Many AiIments-One Gore

I have called these the inside nerves for
simplicity's sake. Their usual name is the
'fsyrnpathetic'' nerves. Physicians call
them by this name because they are so
closely allied-because each is in such
close sympathy with the others The re-
suit is that when one branch is allowed
to become impaired. the others weaken.
That is why one kind of sickness leads
into another. That is why cases become
complicated For this delicate nerve is
the most sensitive part of the human sys-
tenn.
Does this not explain to you some of the
uncertainties of medicine-is it not a good
reason to your mind why other kinds OF
treatment may have failed.
Don't you see that THIS is NEW in
medicine? That this is NOT the mere
patchwork of a Stimulant-the mere Sooth-
ing of a narcotic? Don't you see that it
goes right to the root of the trouble and
eradicateS the cause?
But i do not ask you to take single
statement of mine-I do not ask you to
believe a word say until you have tried
my medicine in your own home at my eX-
pense absolutely. Could 1 offer you full
dollars worth free if there were any mis-
representations? Could L let you go to
your druggist-whom you knOw-and pick
out any bottle he has on his shelves of
my medicine were it not UNIFORMLY
helpful? Could l AFFORD to do this if
were not reasonably SURE that my
medicine will helm YOU?

this country contains the opinions of
the editor on the recent frankie Neil
Joe Bowker fight. Speaking of Neil's
boxing the editor of Mirror of Life
says:
LAS a boxer frankie Neil is about
the poorest specimen L have ever seen.
His knowledge of the art is absolutely
nil and his one idea is to bury his chin
in his chest, cover up both sides of his
jaw with his gloves, bend his shoulders
forward so that his little Mary is
difficult to reach, and then walk in,
regardless of punishment, in the hope
of landing a pile driver on the mark
or the point. Concerning headwork
and fOotwOrk he is as ignorant is
an Eskimo, and several tunes during
the contest went sprawling into the
ropes when Bowker slipped him. But
what a punch he has! 1t is a hook,
and it comes with the whole force of
his body at the head or the mark.
Seldom have I seen so much power
put behind a blow by such little
fellow. He never quite reached a Vul-
nerable point in his bout with Bow
ker, but even then he managed to hurt
the Englishman when he hit him, and

such an unscientific youngster is
champion of America They are all
more or less rough-and-tumble fight
ers in the states and he is simply
the hardest and strongest of the bunch.
Any one who will go in and mix it
with him is sure to come off second
best, and that was just why he did not
beat Bowker. The latter kept milling
on the retreat at long range, and it
was only at long intervals that Nell
was able to get to close quarters, and
then so smart was the Englishman
that he never gave his opponent
chance of finding the mark or the
point
AS Neil failed to make a good i'm
preston as a boxer, SO also his father
failed to impress the British sporting
men. Writing of the elder Neil and
his peculiar methods the editor of the
Mirror of Life says:
There is an extremely ancient, but
at the same time wonderfully wise,
saying, which bids all whom it may
concern never under any eircumstan-
ces to count their chickens before the
said feathered folk emerge from the
shell which covers them in their en-

they will be made local, that is, stop
