WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS | The nervous system is the alarm system of the human body. In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declining, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability ami unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown. To correct nervousness, Scott's Kmulsion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood ac:,' rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refreshing tonic force. It is free from alcohol. Scot I Dowue, Bloom Geld. K.J. A PEOPLED* WAR.
