The number of people who are "neither
sick nor WE'LL" as the saying Is, make up q
large proportion OF nearly every communi.
ty. II you ask what ails them, you get no
clear answer; for they do not know them
selves. They are not sick enough to be
classed with invalids, and yet they are not
well enough to enjoy life nor do any physi-
cal or mental work without wearisomo
and exhausting effort For most of tho
time they feel miserable and forlorn; every
task is burden; they have no zest in life.
and little hope In the future. These un-
happy people get little or no relief from
physicians, but are rather made worse by
the toriics which are too often prescribed,
and which leave the vital forces at l0wee
range after the temporary stimulation has
subsided. What they need is new deyeh
opment of force at the center of life. n

an agent that can restore this vital activity

SPIRIT Of THE PRESS.
The English Pauers Of This Morning.

The Commercial says: Voules was no
worse than thousands of young men who
enter on tie same fatal road, and almost
insensibly add vice to vice, and dishonor to
dishonor, till the end comes. Even after
he began the career that ended in ruin,
Voules would have shuddered at the thought
of wronging his employers. He was sensi-
BILE and proud of the confidence they re-
posed in him, and he would as soon cut off
his hand as violate that trust. But he had
entered upon social career that required
more money TO keep up appearances
than he obtained in salary. Then came
the thought Of trying his luck
at the gambling table. If successful, he
could satisfy all creditors, and continue to
live in style befitting young man of for
tune. But there is no continuous luck for
the gambler. 1t is only a question of time
when he will be fattened out. And this
time came to Voules, and with it there was
dissipation, loss of moral sense and honor,
indifference, and finally recklessness and
dishonor. Could Voules have seen the end
from the beginning; could any young man
who sets out on the same course, how differ
ert would have been his line of conduct,
