11 has often been contended by
physiologists and men of science gen-
erally, that nervous energy or nerv-
ous impulses which pass along the
nerve fibres, were only other names
for electrieity. This seemingly plaus-
ible statement was accepted for a
time, but has been completely aban-
doned since it has been proved that
the nerves are not good conductors of
electricity, and that the velocity of a
nervous impute) is but 100 feet per
second—whish is very much slower
than that of electricity. It is now
generally agreed that nervous energy,
or what we are pleased to call nerve
fluid, is a wondrous, a mysterious
force, in which dwells life itself.
A very eminent specialist, who
has studied profoundly oho workings
of the nervous system for the last
twenty-five years, has lately demon-
strated that two-thirds of all our
ailments and chronic diseases are
