disturbed condition of the Nervous
System. snE
The nerves and the blood are 80
intimately, so vitality, connected that
the condition of one is bound to affect
the condition Of the other. If the
blood is laden with impurities, it is
impossible to have strong, steady
nerves.
The first essential tn treating nervous
troubles is to purify and enrich the blood
