Nervous energy Is generated and
stored In the brain and spinal cord and
from these centers rs distributed to all
parts of the body as needed. The
amount each organ receives depends
upon the work 1t has to do. When the
supply Is scanty, organic action Is slow
and sick ness of some character is the
result This in brief explains the i'm
portance of the nervous system.
TO keep the nerves strong, we must
not abuse them either by physical or
mental misuse When injured from any
cause they must be made strong by In
telligent methods. The use of stimu-
lants and violent drugs will not serve
the purpose.
Distinguished medical specialists
agree that there Is no treatment that
equals Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer and
give as, reason that 1t sustains,
nourishes and strengthens without
stimulating and Intoxicating, and that
the nerves absorb eagerly the much
needed proprieties 1t contains. And
while 1t Is mild and soothing, 1t is all
so energetic and forcible In It's effects.

grave and was just taking away

Almost as quick as thought we follow

me that Sercombe had issued an order
against the use Of firearms. If the
business could be managed without I'M

that the fight was one to obtain pos

Sercombe knew well enough and Hood
knew even better that to gain access

very little provided we were still at
