Tillfe? L IJIKS DR. A. R. HEDGES Chiropractic k Naturopathic Physiciaa 121 E. Main. Dial 3170 Reference has been made to the proper nourishment of the nervous system. Its improper nourishment results in its abnor mal structure as well as its ab normal functioning. Without its proper functioning the whole organism suffers. Food is of spe cial importance to the nervous svstem. Upon it the reception of energy and functioning of the whole organism depends. Be cause of this biological depend ence, nature often demands sac rifice of some one or more of the other organs or tissues that the nervous system may receive the most efficient feeding possi ble. Nature goes out of its way to protect the nervous system. So it Is that some other organ or svstem may first manifest the disease state when as a matter of fact it is the nervous system that is primarily at fault. For Its protection others sacrifice. You must do your share. Feed it Don't give it poison which re sults in great Injur to 1U cells. PERSONAL CALENDAR! Monday 7:30 p. m. St. Mark's Eve ning Guild at pariah hall. North Oakdale.
