of the brain centers and stimulating their

are well calculated TO arouse the solicitude
of parents and edu, 'ators, for it is quite
likely that in our schools more than

is attributed to the exhaustine effects OF ex-

modern schools--and the writer says he has
traced sleeplessness, night-terrors, sol.nnam-
bulism, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, halluoina-
tons, and other troubles to educational
pressure unwisely applied TO delicate chill
dren. The great trouble is to make persons
understand that brain tissue degenerations
and mental diseases may be separated by
long intervals of time from the too prema-
ture and intense stimulation of the brain
which cause these nervous diseases. Hy-
drocephalus, however, is nervous disease
which shows itself at once from overstimu-
latiOn of the brain in the young and
of late years the increase in deaths from
this disease has not been among infants
but among children and young people from
five to twenty years in the educational period
of life. To remedy the difficulties and dan
gers set forth, the writer says. We must re-

DISEASED ANE DECAYING HUMAN.
I1Y

Evidence is cumulative that diseases are
increasing and that the human family is
going to decay with alarming rapidity. 1t
is held by observant physicians that diseases
relating to and seated IN the nervous sys-
tenn are alarmingly multiplying, that NOR
bid nervousness is now growing affliction
of Americans, making itself manifest by
neuralgia, sick headache, dyspepsia, hay
fever, neurasthenia or nervous exhaus-
ton There is it is said, with Americans
increased sensitiveness to heat and cold and
a greatly augmented susceptibility to the
action of stimulants and narcotics. We see
less fat people. while more thin persons APP
pear. This nervousness is in large meas
ure the Outgrowth of mental anxiety, our
work and want of relaxation. medical
writer attributes the nervous condition Of
Americans TO our present state OF civiliza-
ton. Nervousness aggravates, if 1t does not
cause diabetes, Bright's disease of the kidneys
nephritis and granular kidneys The
writer holds that heart diseases are increas-
ing steadily, particularly those of nervous
origin and nature. Rheumatism and govt,
in both of which it is said there is neu-
rotic or nervous element, are more severe
than they were years ago. In discussing the
subject the medical writer adds that life,
even though it be not shortened, is often
rendered miserable by so-called mild nerv-
Gus disorders, such as hysteria, herpes EOS
ter, urticaria, writers cramp and sick head
ache" Premature badness and early de-
cay of the teeth are both far more frequent
than they used to be, while our leading
druggists testify to the greatly increased
consumption of nervous remedies, such as
morphine, hyoscyamus, conium, chloral,
the bromides, arsenic, strychnia and gelse-
minum. The consumption of tea, coffee and
tobacco is also largely on the increase-the
two former neurotic beverages and the lat
ter a great nerve sedative. In sowing the
complex problem of nervous diseases, the
writer believes the causes are due to the in
creasing completely of the nervous
system and 10 the increased complexity
of life. He says the brain is increasing in
size in the American people, and this effects
its functional activity immensely. Even
though its size may not be increased, there
is great elaboration in structure and in
the way of a finer architecture Of our
brains, new phases of intelligence, and new
proclivities to nervous disease. Our brains
are finer in structure and more subtle in
mechanism. but instability is the result
The conditions of modern life, which
act on our complex and excitable, nervous
systems, cause our increased nervous
disease, and even mental disease itself
