"What? Is this an Insane Asylum? Is it a Nervine?" Madly he started for the door. "Order a ton of bromides!" he called back over his shoulder. "Order a car-load of them!
I went often to Captain Leezur; the nervine lozenges were potent. "We all'as dew neighbor a great deal in winter," said he approvingly, stretching those dear felts before the blaze. "Is that a piece of the log we used to sit on?" I inquired mournfully. "Wal, neow! I r'a'ly believe ye feel a kind o' heart-leanin' to'ds her, don't ye?" "How can I help it?"
I accepted a nervine lozenge, and we braced ourselves firmly on the log, placid, but set, against all resistance, not to be great! I heered how 't you took a lot o' noos-sheets." "It is fine. He is making for himself a name in your politics, and at the same time there 's the old fire in him, flashing out over conventions; one can almost hear him laugh.

Doctors study it; nerve medicines arise on every side; nervine hospitals establish themselves; and rest-cures innumerable spring up in all directions, but the root of the matter is so comparatively simple that in general it is overlooked entirely.
It has a nervine property, by which it excites the nervous system inordinately, and exhilarates the brain. It has a stimulating property, by which it inordinately excites the muscular motions, and the actions of the heart and blood-vessels. It has a narcotic property. The operation of this property is to suspend the nervous energies, and soothe and stupefy the subject.
