Most forms OF sickness start with the insi.le
nerves. Indigestion, stomach. heart
burn. dyspepsia-weak kidneys. diabetes.
Brights Disease-Liver irregularities-Heart
irregularities-Bowel irregularities all OF
these ailments. and the aim snts which they.
IN turn. bring on. are due directly TO de-
rangements of certain nerve centers.
Understand, first, that we have two entirely
separate nerve systems. When We walk, or
talk or act, we call into play certain set

There IS another set OF nerves which con

all of the vital functions. You cannot CON

APPOINTMENT NOT DUE
TO FINDING OF WATCH

Friends of Ms Michael Lauxmann
take exceptions 20 statements that her
appointment IN January last to posi-
ton in the Coast and Geodetic Survey
was the result Of her finding watch
lost by Secretary Loeb.
Mrs. Lauxmann found a watch lost by
Assistant Secretary Barnes last August
but her friends say the incident has no
connection with the appointment. 1t
was due, they claim, to the fine record
OF three generations of her family in the
Coast and Geodetic Survey covering a
period of many years.

HE MEANS SCOTS

Your doctor says you must
take cod liver oil. Probably he
means SCOTS Emulsion be-
cause you cannot take the
clear oil; no one can take the
clear oil who needs cod liver
oil. The doctor understands
that and doubtless means
SCOTS Emulsion of cod liver
oil which everybody can take
because it is emulsifed and
prepared SO that it can be
very easily digested by the
most sensitive stomach. Most
everybody likes it.

How Sickness Starts
In the Inside Nerves

the various branches That is the reason the
inside nerves are sometimes called the Sym
pathetic nerves.
This explains why stomach trouble often de-
yelops into heart troable-why indigestion
brings on nervousness-why diseases become
complicated. 1t explains too, why ordinary
medical treatments are wTong-why medicine
frequently fails.
