THE APorLacrIc STROKE A middle
aged physician said one day, to the wri-
ter: As was walking down the street.
after dinner, felt shock in the back Of
my neck, as If some one had struck me;
have not felt well since. fear shall
die, Just as all my ancestors have, of par.
alysis. What shall do2' The answer
was: Diminish the tension on the blood
vessels, and there need be no fear Of
tearing them in weak place. Now. this
expresses in plain terms the exact canse
OF appoplexy in the great majority OF in
stances; and it IS one, too, which every
one has the power to prevent A blood I
vessel OF the brain, from calses which
will presently he mentioned, has lost
some of its elastic strength; food 10
abundant digestion is good; blood is
made in abundance, but little Is worked
off by exercise: the tension on every ar
terry and nerve is maximum rate; the
even circuitous flow Is temporarily lm.

that has lost its elastic strength gives
way, blood pours out, clot is formed,
which, by its pressure on the brain, pro
duces complete Inconsistencies. This
is the appopleptic stroke. 1t will be per-

tons upon which the production OF the
stroke depends; lcsscned strength in

The projected tunnel under the Hudson
river, between Jersey City aad New York,
may possibly be constructed after all. The
plan is said to have been determined upon
as soon as certain legal distractions now
existing are removed At first bridge
was proposed, but upon Investigation it
was found that bridge would take more
time to build than tunnel, and would
cost more money. In this project all the
great railroads having their terminal points
in Jersey City are expected to join, so
that most of the traffic for New York and
New England from the South and West
will pass through the tunnel.
