YOUNG AND RISING GENERATIo \

The pesetative powers Of life are strong, but In
few yeo<s how often the paiid hue the lack lustrs
eye and emancisted form, and the impossibility Of
application to mental effort, show their banefuI in
nuence. II soon becomes evident to the observer
that some depressing influence is checking the de-
velopment Of the body. Consumption is talked Of
and perhaps the youth is removed from school and
sent into the country. This is OF the worst move
ments. Removed frem ordinary diversions of the
changing scenes of the city, the powers Of the
body, too much enfeebled to give zest to heaIthfu
and rural exercise, thoughts are turned inwardly
upon themselves.
If the patient be q female the approach Of the

diusing the circulation and visiting the check with
the bloom Of health. Alas increase Of appetite has
