WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system Is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health Is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the seme nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected, I,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion Is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh-
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
