The nervous system is the vital
force Of your body; the force that
gives energy to every organ and
every muscle. So great Is the power
of the nerves that tremendous
shock, such as fear, may cause death.
A lesser nerve shock will pale the
cheeks, make the knees tremble,
cause the heart to beat wildly or al
most paralyze breathing.
To keep our vitality and strength
we must nourish the nervous system.
When We restore lost nerve power
we quickly regain lost strength!
Nervous, exhausted men and wom-
en- can soon regain their nerve force
and as they rebuild their nerves
they see the signs of returning vigor.
