NEU RAlGiA

The real meaning Of the word Neur
ralgia is nerve-pain. and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be 30 anxious to know Of its nature
az to hear of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, 1t is
now one Of the most common and pain
full ailments which afiict humanity.
As now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course OF the
principal nerves.
The two great causes Of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment Of the Blood
and Deficiency Of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of 1t is not SO obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing Is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than BY
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
OF nourishing food, Of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.
