Use and Abuse Of the Mind.

Frem the New York Tribune, February l6
The u ird OF series of lectures be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Assoc
citation of the Church Of the Disciples
at Madison avenue aud Forty-tifih
street, was delivered last evening, by
William A. Hammond, NJ D., (who is
famous for his study and treatment of
nervous and brain Diseases, to an
audience exclusively of gentlemen.
The subject was "The Use and Abuse
of our Minds"
DR.. Hammond, after speaking OF
the different kinds of nervous tissue,
and the brains OF animals. said that
the faculties OF the mud were divisi~
bly, into perception, intellect, emotion
and viii. 1t was dangerous to health
to over-exert the mind by the use Of
any of these faculties to considera-
bic extent. However, be had never
seen man who was injured by too
much perception, and very few were
injured by too much intellectual
labor. A majority of the eases Of
brain troubles were caused by emo
ton. Severe intellectual labor was
less injurious than strong emotions.
More injury was produced by the
anxiety Of the man who anticipated
possible trouble, than by the real
trouble. Every experiment showed
that the brain was the organ Of the
mind. There was continual con
sumption OF brain substance going on.
When persons thought, they burned
the brain, and the ashes, phosphate Of
ammonia, were taken up by the
blood and given off through the ex-
cretions. BY carefully estimating the
amount of these ashes, one could tell
approximately the amount OF intel
lectual labor. There was nothing
more injurious than too much anx-
lety In such cases the appetite
tailed and the brain was consumed
faster than the tissue could be SUP.
piled from the food Some try u
get relief by drinking WHISKY, but it
was avery bal way ; il simply post
poned the trouble. No organ in the
body was as strong As the brain II
man slept six or eight hours, he
could work as hard as he WISHED to,
within reason, the rest Of the twenty
four. The mind shall never be con-
eentrated too long on the Subject
Persons should always have well-se-
lected intellectual amusements.
