WHAT NERVOUS PEOPLE SHOULD EAT.

1 Alone One of the most difficult problems con- fronting the nervous sufferer or his physician is what to eat. The reason is that people with nerves constantly suffer from nervous dyspepsia, a condition which is generally very difficult to cure.

Two facts stand out with perfect clear mess in these cases. The rat is that red ment of all kinds should be absolutely ruled out of the diet echeme, as being very much too stimulating for the nervous system.

The second is that from the remaining list of foods those should be selected which are bland in their nature and easily digestible. Pre-eminent among them are milk products, and supreme among milk products in Sanatogen. It is composed of the body-building portion of pure cow milk, chemically combined with phoa- phorus in the exact form in which it is found in the nervous system. It is digested with the utmost

esse and rapidity, and is assimilated without the least trouble and in the shortest possible tine.

The result is that very soon after it has been taken it affects the whole nervous advantageously that the nervous sufferer becomes conscious of an unusual and altogether unaccustomed sensation of energy, a feeling of vitality and a sense of vigour to which he had long been a stranger. Unlike the atimula- tion produced-by alcohol, this does not wear off with more or less rapidity, bat persists for a long time, while it is followed by no reaction, as is the case with alcohol, which makes the nerves seem more "on end "--to use a common expression-than before.
