The ..Run Down" Condition

"Why do i feel used up and all run down most
of the time ~
How many ask themselves this question dailyl
The answer is simple. It's lack of nerve force.
Science with its unerring methods Of research
has proved that the various organs and tissues Of
the body continue in health and perform their
work properly as long stler nerve supply re-
tains its vigor and strength. But if the nerves
q degenerate or lose power from poor noursfnent
or any other cause the entire physiological mech
anis1 Of the body is thrown Out Of gear and we &
have as a result some pronounced rundown
condition or disease.
The heart, the stomach, the liver, all have their
great nerve centres which supply them with the
power to work properly. When these nerve CEN
tres are weakened these important organs cannot
act properly.

the dozens of villas which surround

was the house OF Arrius Diomedes.

rivals in splendor. From this handsome

they were only bones over seventeen
hundred years old, and they searched
no further. Had they examined as

a written record of the house of Do

rounded this dungeon-like room, he
had cut in Latin characters an indy

it has no connection with this matter.
I will merely take the last ten years
that the record was kept. This por-

and kinsman Terentilus Acasilius had
gone with Titus TO the Holy Land
Next came the sackng Of Jerusalem

triumphs- Then upon Terentilus AcaSi-
Illus return to Rome he sent IN dom
edeS present of many goods anu hHe
slaves in commomoration of the event.
Among these slaves WAS an old gray
haired Jewish potter. who in skill en-
eeeded any of the workmen then own
ed by Diomedes. For half Il dozen
years the potter worked well and faita-
fully for his master and became 4
favorite because of his art and indus
try.
AT the end of that time word was
brought to Domedes that the Hebrew
slave was i'll. and the overseer who
brought the message. said he feared
the man was a leper. The master
laughed at the mans fears and told
him to bring the potter before him that
he might judge for himself. He was
brought in and as he stood before
Diomedes, the masters practiced eye
told him at once that the slave driver
was right The man was leper.
Furious at having his household thus
exposed TO the dreaded disease he
ordered the slave 10 be led away by
his spearsmen and killed. At the
sentence of death the doomed man fell
upon Ills knees and begged that he
might have time to make peace with
his God. Diomedes sneered at the sup
plication, and asked what sins low
