The nerves Of the body are not
unlike the telegraph system at the
Front The millions of nerve fla
ments are like a network of wires
that keep all the trenches in close
sympathy and communion. Food
supplies and reinforcements are dis
patched here and there and so the
nerves send increased blood and
nourishment where it is most re
quired. The nerve cells guide the
heart and stomach. BY this means
the stream of blood laden with nour-
ishment is sent to every part of
the body.
So it is that the blood feeds the
nerves. If blood is impoverished. we
feel nervous sleepless &c fidgety. F"
The blood needs TO be built up.
