Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion. and impaired diges- ties, When there is an insufficient supply of note° food in. the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow-, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the • right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not cone tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all foe= of nervous de- rangement.
