The Nervous System
Probably one part of the human
machinery most in use and subjected
to constant wear and tear, is the
great controller and regulator of all
parts of the mechanism known as the
nervous system, often strained, often
in need Of absolute rest and repa r
and sometimes receiving neither. Give
1t these, not once a year for brief
season in the summer, but daily. This
is wonderful system.
If with the aid Of a microscope you
| were to look inside of the head and
see the human brain, viewed as
mass, 1t would be seen to be Of h
grayish white or chalk color, and
made up of very minute threads or
strands called nerves" coming from
all parts Of the body like telegraph
wires; each one with a special duty
to perform, message to carry to the
central office or headquarters Of the
system, where their report is receiv.
ed and instructions at once forward.
