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.
