Address (i. T. Fulford, arnaville, Oat.
It has of-
ten been
contended
by physio-
logists and
mea of sci-
ence gen-
eral l y,
that n e r y-
ou s energy
o r nervous
impulses which pass along the nerve
fibres, were only other names for elec-
tricity. This seemingly plausible
statement was accepted for a time, but
has been completely abandoned since
it has been proved that the nerves are
not good conductors of electricity, and
that the velocity of a nervous impulse
is but 100 feet per sexrond—which is
very much slower than that of elec-
tricity. It is now generally agreed
that nervous energy, or what we are
pleased to call nerve fluid, is a won-
drous, a mysterious force, in which
dwells life itself.
A very eminent specialist, who has
studied profoundly the workings of
the nervous system for the last twenty-
five years, has lately demonstrated
that two-thirds of all our ailments and
chronic diseases are due to deranged
nerve centres within or at the base of
the brain.
All know that an injury to the
Spinal cord will cause paralysis to the
body below the injured point. The
reason for this is, that the nerve force
is prevented by the injury from reach-
ing the paralysed portion.
When food is taken into the stomach,
it comets in contact with numberEeeu
nerve fibres in the walls of this organ
which at once send a nervous impulse
to the nerve centres which control the
stomach, notifying them ,of the pres-
ence of food ; whereupon the nerve
centres send down a supply of nerve
force or nerve fluid, to at once begin
the operation of digestion. But let
the nerve centres which control the
stomach 1* deranged and they will
not be able to respond with a sufficient
supply of nerve force, to properly
digest the food, and, as a result,
indigestion and dyspepsia make their
appearance. Ro it itt with the other
orgaru of the body, if the nerve cen-
tres which control them and supply
them with nerve force become derang-
ed, they are also deranged
The wonderful success of the remedy
known as the (treat South Ameri-
can Nervine Tonic is doe to the feet
that it it prepared by one of the moot
eminent physicians and specialists of
the age, and is based on the foregoing
scientific discovery. It acts directly
on the nerves, and p s.ewtes mar-
vellous powers for tl•e cure of Ner-
vousness, Nervous Proatmtion, Head-
ache, Steep'esane'', Restleoness, St.
Vitus' Dance, Mental Despondency,
Hysteria, Heart Disease, Nervouatesa
of Females, Hot Flashes, Sick Mead -
eche, it is also an absolute "Pe1'ide
for all stomach troubles.
