Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
centers are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring a host of invalids
are produced as the direct result OF
