Day after day we are reminded that this disease and that ia going to get us. and unless some definite action is taken, a per son who has been "burninf the candle at both ends" is foing to find himself or her self an easy victim for this phobia — the fear of a "nervous breakdown.” Yes. thousands of people are constantly living in a dreadful fear of a nervous break-down. They saw one of their friends go down that way, and accept the tragic defeat in tears and broken morale until this picture has become embedded in their minds so deeply that they see themselves in the same condition. Rarely do these people ask themselves just what caused that nervvous break down of their friends! True, upon casual reflection, they would admit that this friend was gradually slipping in health, and then in spirits, like the countless vic tims who went before them. j Let us go back to the beginning of this "fear of nervous breakdown.” As we mentioned before, there was a history of fatigue, nervous exhaustion, ill health and a broken morale. Fear, and that means worry, still further destroys the ability to come back, and the quicksands are ready to engulf them. • i r.. Let us picture for a moment the mech anism which makes life and good health For further information concerning the correction of nervous disorders, consult DR. CHARLES J.

Hort brings reo$on to oor reoden on this important subject, which is fost becoming o notional problem pouibW. A normal •pine permit* normal nerve diatribution. and normal nerve dia- tnbution mean* that every organ and gland in the body will be receiving ita normal quota of nerve force to make it function properly and that is the basis of good health. Into Dr. Hart^ office come hundreds of patients headin for a nervous breakdown, or who actually have it in the worst form. Dr. Hart’s methods of examination are so totally different that they marvel at the explanation of the CAUSE of their condition. W hen they realize their spine is pri marily at fault, and receive their adjust ment, they, for the first time, realize that here is a HEALTH SCIENCE that most definitely goes to the bottom of things to discover why they are sick, and soon feel the power of renewed nerve vitality being released, as their symptoms subside. It would be but natural to end this comment with a suggestion to one and all, who might be going through this fear, especially in the primary stages, to drop in to see Dr. Hart. Have him give your spine a thorough examination, and then give him a chanc©-to rebuild that exhaust- i e d vitality . . . renew and revive the nerves which so pitifully seem to be" go ing back on you —and before long, you will find yourself one of the hundreds who are dutifully thankful for going to Dr. Hart.
