The "Run Down Condition

"Why do I feel used up and all run down most
of the timer"
How many ask themselves this question daily?
The answer is simple. 1t is 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 as their nerve supply re-
tains its vigor and strength. But if the nerves
degenerate or lose power from poor nourishment
or any other cause, the entire physiological mech
anism 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 experience Of Charles E. Stacy is
case in point.
