Well Known Hospital Physical
Danger Signals of Exhausted
One Of the most terrible Of all hui
man ailments is exhausted nerve
forcs. Il weakens all the vital organs
OF the body and as a result all kinds
OF alarming symptoms may appear.
Some people get nervous indigestion,
pains over the eyes, in the heart,
and across the small Of the back in
others the first symptoms are mental
instead of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
worry over tribes, or inability to
concentrate on your work.
The nervous mother is upset by
her children, squabbles with her hus-
band. has frequent fits Of the ''blues"
and bursts into tears over the small
est troubles. In such cases it is
worse than useless to waste time TAX
ing stimulating medicines or mar
cotic drugs; the starving nerve cells
must have nerve food which is sup
piled by the blood. Any physician
will tell you that II the blood supply
were cut of from any nerve in your
body that the Nerve would die.
