A Torpid System.

Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the
ply steal strength and animal spirits give way,
and strange torpor falls alike on the body and
intellect. There is little or no pain perhaps
but the natural vigor and elastisity of the
nervous and muscular system seems to have
departed, and an indifference to the pleasures
of life, and even Of it's grave responsibilities
takes the place of that earnest interest in both
which characterizes every well balanced mind
when in healthy condition.
This state of partial collapse is often the pre-
uonitory systoms of some serious malady. 1t
