Diseases Ofthe Nervous System.

Almost nine-tenths of our people suffer
from nervous exhaustion, and are, therefore,
liable TO its concomitant evils Of mental do
preston, confused ideas, softening of the
brain, insanity, and complete breaking down
of the general health. Thousands are suf-
fering to-day with broken down nervous
systems, and, unfortunately, tobacco, alcho-
hol, late hours, oyer-work mental and phys
ical), are causing diseases of the nervous sys-
TEN to increase at fearful ratio.
The symptoms to which diseases Of the
nervous system give rise, may be stated as
follows: A dull, heavy feeling in the head
sometimes more or lees severe pain or head
ache; Per iodical Headache, Dizziness, Nois-

DISSIPATION OF LITERARY MEN-very
silly are the bold assertions made in pulpits
OF Mr.. Dickens constantly continued dissi-
patton. The great writer left $500. 1000
every fartlling of it earned by hard and al
most daily literary toll. When do these
critical and clerical gentlemen suppose that
men OF letters do their work! Such slam
ders refute themselves. Look, for instance
at Burns. Professor John Wilson long ago
pointed out how impossible it would have
been for Burns to have written so much and
SO well if his days and nights had been
given to inebriety. He had his faults
most people have-but he lived at a con-
vivial time and in Q convivial country. 1t
would be good thing flor them if minis
tiers of the gospel could comprehend that
men OF letters are not always indulging in
dissipation. Moreover, as Christianity is
supposed to be charitable, it would be well
1or progressed Christians to understand some
thing OF the peculiar trials and hardships of
a purely literary life. When clergymen
have the dyspepsia they can preach old ser
mons or Ego to Europe" with ali their ex-
penses paid by their affectionate flocks. Int
the work of a literary life is never done nm.
til the doer has sunk to rest himself in his
grave. The world makes enormous de-.
mands upon popular writer's and then won
dcrs that they sometimes seek RELAXATION Of
the kind which is most agreeable to them
1t may be, often is, bad for them, but they
are entitled to charitable Judgment
