Inside Nerves !

Only one out Of every IS has perfect health
OF the 81 sick ones. some are bed-ridden, some
are half sick. and some are only dull and
llstless But most Of the sickness comes
from a common cause The nerves weak.
Not the nerves you ordinarily think about
not the nerves that govern your movements
and your thoughts.
But the nerves that. unguided and unknown.
night and day, keep your heart in motion
control your digestive Notwithstanding
your liver-operate your kidneys
These are the nerves that wear out and
break down
It does no good to treat the afiing organ
the irregular heart-the disordered lver-the
rebe!lious stomach-the deranged kidneys
They are not To. blame. But go back tc the
nerves that control them. There you VIII
find tina seat of the trouble.
There is nothing about this-nothins
any physician would dispute. But IL remained
for DR.. sboop to apply this knowledge-to
put ii to practical DIR. Shoops RestoFa-

deavor along this very line 1t does not dose

MANY Aiiments-One Cause

have called these the inside nerves for
simplicity's sake. Their usual name Is the
sympathetic nerves. Physicians call them
by this because they so closely al
lied-because each Is in such close sympathy
with the others. The result is that when one
branch is allowed to become impaired the
others weaken. That Is why one kind of sick
leads into another. That is why cases
become complicated" For this delicate
nerve Is the most sensitive part Of the human
system.
Does this not explain to you some OF the
uncertainties of nedicine-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 medi-
cine? That this is NOT the mere patchwork
of a stimulant-the mere soothing of a
cotic? Don't you that 1t goes right to

One Commissioner Would
Not Accept Railroad Fees

One member of the 1sthnian Canal
Commission, EwaId Grimsky. Of San
Francisco declined to receive the fees
proffered him for services as director
of the Panama Railroad Company. and
returned these fees 70 the company.
Al. the executive session of the COM
mittee this morning "a letter from Mr.
Grirnsky was read. IL which. he declared
he had never-fe felt himself entitled to
receive these fees and had always re-
turned them
Mr. Grirnsky said he was a salaried
officer of the Government, paid to look
after Government property, and ex-
pressly forbidden to accept further com
pensation. Under these circumstances
he would have regarded the acceptance
OF fees as highly Improper.
No mention of the letter was made at
the D. IN. session of the committee. It's

ipaI Building and Build Bridge

stead of having it Incorporated in the
omnibus public building bill which has
already been reported TO the House, the

Another important item which is
Threatened is the appropriation for the

the Senate's amendments 10 the District
of Columbia appropriation bill!
The Speaker appointed as the House
conferees on the bin Representatives

The action of the House in noneoncur-
ring with the Senate amendments means
that the last chance the District has
TO obtain the additional 100000 fer the

threatened.

Il is a subject CT remark that the great
ma jority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels This may be
partly attributed to the heavy medi-
eines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent
A young man states that he had suf-
fered for nine years from stomach and
bowel trouble, had TWO operations
which did not cure. and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheuma-
tism and his stomach trouble got worse.
One day at breakfast the waiter. know
ing his condition, suggested he try
Grape-Nuts and cream, which he did.
and found the food agreed with him
perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different than
he had for years. The perfect diges-
ton of the food quieted his nervous
system and made sleep possible.
He says; 1.-The next morning l was

For Heart Trouble

Your heart beats more than ten thousand
times day. And every heart beat Is an i'm

cardiac piexus. The heart is a muscle. but it
is the nerve that makes the muscle do the

a weak or Irregular nerve-inside nerve. To
cure heart trouble restore the nerve to nor

For Kidney Troubles

The kidneys the blood filters They are
operated solely by the inside nerves The
branch which operates them and regulates
them Is called the renal plexus. When the
renal pIexus Is weak or irregular the kidneys
become ciogaed with the very poisons they
should throw off. No kidney treatment can
clean them out OF cure them and one stage
leads into another until after a while the
kidneys themselves begin to break down and
dissolve There is only way to reach
kidney trouble-that is through the inside
nerves that control them, which Dr. Shoop's
Restorative alone strengthens and restores
