WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous syfttrni is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realite that
we have a network ol nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, Irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott Ktnul
don is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment rets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the wholt system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
