Avoid extremes of temperature. You
will see sedentary men sitting in "a room
for hours with fire which brings .the
up to seventy degrees, and
then for hours more'with the fire nearly
out and the temperature at iifty-two de-
rrees or lower. A sudden fall of eight
cen degrees will kill off men of low vital
itv in hundreds will give, perhaps,
third of mankind touch OF the liver,
and will infict on half the remainder an
T." influenza" nearly as annoying and al
most as dangerous as fever. But few
persons are mindful of these matters as
long as they arc indoors.
CIUSE OFINSINIT1.
DR.. Hammond says a majority of the
cases of brain trouble are caused by emo

severe intellectual labor. He thinks in

the anxiety caused by anticipation of
trouble, than by trouble itself.

SLEEP THE BEST STIMULANE
I The best possible thing for a man to
do when he feels too weak to carry it
through is to go to bed and sleep week
if he can. This is the only true recuper-
alton of power, the only actual recuper-
alton of brain force. Because during
sleep the brain Is in a state of rest, in
condition to receive and appropriate
PARTICLES of nutriment from the blood
which take the place of those which
have been consumed in previous labor,
since the very act of thinking consumes,
burns up solid particles, as every turn of
| the wheel or screw of the splendid
steamer Is the result of consumption by
/ fire of the fuel in the furnace The sup
ply of consumed brain substance can
only be had from the nutritive PARTICLES
| in the blood, which were obtained from
/ the food eaten previously, and the brain
Is 50 constituted that it can best receive
and appropriate to itself those nutritive
sarHs.Ss during a state of rest, of quiet,
-. in sleep. Mere stimulants
r-rruemselves they only
fsin, force it TO a greater con
Sumption of its substance, until that
that substance has been so exhausted that
there is not power enough left to receive
a supply, just as men are so near death
By thirst and starvation that there is not
power enough to swallow anything, and
all is over.
