How much thought do you give TO
the protection Of your nervous sys-
TEN? Do you lead such q life as
to build up and strengthen your
brain and nerves? Or, OF the con-
trary, are you gradually destroying
your nervous system9
It In not difficult to determine
something OF the nervous makeup
Of the driver OF an automobile.
| Much can be learned by observa-
ton, even OF an experienced driver.
Speed mania, for example, Is fire.
quently a symptom OK an irritable
and overworked nervous system.
One Of the most important things
In the world Is the development Of
poise. The lack OF 1t Is q good deal
like the absence Of q balance wheel
In a watch. Without poise and mem
tai balance the individual runs wild.
It takes a lot more poise to be q
conservative than 1t does to be a
radical Of the radicals.
I wish there were some effective
way to drill into the human family
the Importance OF r~atience. Impa-
| thence and the mood that goes with
it are responsible for most Of the
unhappiness and many Of the acct
dents today.
But we must not stop here. The
nervous system Is not well cared for
unless the body is properly nour-
ished. This part Of the body is so
complex in its nature that IL will
suffer greatly IL 1t is not supplied
with an abundance OF pure rich
blood.
Almost every day, somebody asks
me, What Is q good tonic for the
blood?" The answer is: Good
blood is not supplied by the drug
store. 1t does not come In bottles.
boxes or powder papers. Good blood
depends upon an abundance Of
good fod. It depends upon exer-
else and the observance of the rules
OF hygiene.
II you would have a normal nerv-
GUS system, perfect control OF the
emotions and that precious possess
sion known as poise, you must have
good blood and practice the rules
right living.
