SECRETS OF

UY HE nervous system IL An ex.
ceedingly complicated one.
It is composed Of millions
Of nerves which run here and
there. to every organ. tissue
and tiniest part Of the body.
The brain or cerebrum Is, one
might say. the chief part of this
elaborate system. It is the part
that lies within the skull and IA
where the faculties Of hearings.
sight, smell, taste, touch. move
ment, memory. reasoning. imagi-
nation, etc, are situated.
Underneath the cerebrum is the
cerebellum. It Is sometimes re.
ferred to as the little brain" It
has largely to do with co-ordina-
tion Of movement.
Still further underneath lies the
medulla which contains highly inn
portant nerve centers. From the
rnedulla runs the spinal cord,
down and inside the spinal col.
umn. From the spinal cord
streams Of nerves pass to various
parts of the body.
In a broad way one might say
that nerve tissue is composed OF
neurons.
From the term neuron come

of the neurones, and neurasthenias
q condition Of exhaustion Of the
neurones.
Neuron are Of various types
but all, In one way or another,
have to do with the inception,
transmission or reception of nerve
impulses.
Just what constitutes q nerve
impulse is unknown. However,
nerve impulses behave more like
electrical energy than anything
else.
One may divide the neurones
into two great classes. These are
known as afferent or sensory neu.
rome and the efferent or motor
neurones. Afferent neurones carry
impulses from the organ-muscls
or otherwige-inward toward the
spinal cord ana brain, one might
say. Efferent ones carry i'm"
pules outward.
For instance, should you care
lessly place your hand on a hot
stove the sensation of heat would
be carried to the spinal cord by
which would make your muscles
move 50 as to remove your hand
from the stove would be carried
by efferent nerves.
Nerve energy travels very fast.
1t has been estimated that an at
ferent impulse speeds along at the
rate OF 140 feet a second. Effer-
ent impulses are somewhat slower,
moving at rate of 110 feet per
second. -
Of cell body and strand with
branches.
The end Of this strand spreads
out like q fan into smaller
strands which interlace with a
tuft of tiny nerves on the top
of the cell body. In this way
nerve energy is generated in the
cell body, flows outward toward
the end OF the nerve and is
picked up by the next nerve,
where it is reinforced by the
energy produced in cell body
No. 2.
These nerve cells are like cleo
trical batteries except that they
seem to generate nerve energy
within themselves.
Most neurons are, Of course, so
small that they can only be seen
and studied under a microscope,
and scientists are trying always
to learn new facts about this
truly marvellous system.

..This Matter Of Criticism,

''This Matter Of Criticism
OFTEN you wonder how some
" men can control their emotions
under conditions which would
rouse you to great anger.
1t is your boast. perhaps. that

young men.
Such young fellows are fre.

After q while they come to
realize that their record is not

A WISE and honest doctor
"A once said to me-"The

themselves.
"Theys come to me with some

They are sure that this slight
pain or weakness Is the symptom
OF 50. grave trouble. It would
be very easy to take advantage Of
this state Of mind. Many doctors
do take advantage Of 1t and ex.
plot their patients ignorance and
timidity. And they are the most
popular and successful doctors,
for, people like to be fused over
they like to think that there Ii
something unusual the matter
with them-it flatters their vanity.
'"The plain truth il, we all have
something the matter with us.
Perfect health is practically non.
existant amongst adults. We are
housed in bodies which were de-
signed for an entirely different
plan Of life. Even our erect
posture is contrary to our physi.
cal mechanics. With every year
of our development, the conflict
between our method OF life and
our bodily equipment is bound to
increase. Well always have OBJ.
gcure achees, twinges, weaknesses
and fatigue. That's the price we
pay for civilization. But you
can't make most people see that.
They expect perfection. They're
worried and indignant IL they
don't get 1t. And they'll blame
any doctor who won't promise to
give It to them"
That's brave talk. It applies
to much more than our health.
We are as unreasonable in our
expectation Of happiness a. we
are in our expectation Of health.
