 The best medical practitioners freely ad- init the inpotency of drugs when arrayed against the formidable complications that re- suit from nervous prostration and which arises from want of proper food in requi- site quantity to feed the nervous tissue. Those exposed to the intense mental strain of business activity, together with those en- gagged in intellectual pursuits, constitute aclass that are not properly fed, in the average case the brain being required to do the greater part of their work; The nervous tissue not being supplied with proper nourishment to supply it's waste resulting from vital activity, the whole physical system becomes necessa- rily deranged and enfeebled.

Lenten Services.

The Fourth Sermon in the Series-''The
 Poor Ne Have Always With Youo"
 The fourth in the series of Lenten dis courses was delivered last evening at St. Paul's church by Rev. E. w. Babcock, rec tor of the Church of the Ascension. His subject was ''The Relief of the Poor Present assisting in the evenings devotional exercises were the Rev. Dr. Beardsley, Rev. Dr. Vibbert, Fair Haven Rev. B. $. Lines, rector of St. Paul's, and Rev. MT. Denslow, of Grace church, Fair Haven. There was 8 large attendance, the church being well
 filled. Rev. MT. Babcock took for his text the words ''The poor ye have always with you" In opening, the rector alluded to the fact of the existence of misery, want and wretchedness in the world, and to the ques- tion that the enquiring soul sometimes asks as to the reason why such ills afiicting humanity are permitted by the all-wise Fath- CT. kind Providence did not invent mis- cry for mans behoof, but sin brought it's en- tailment of woe and sorrow. The speaker considered to some extent the amount of the funds bestowed in New Haven the past year
 in aid of the poor and suffering, taking the figures of the Town Agent and the amounts bestowed through some other channels, also l the expenditures of the Episcopal churches 1 of the city,-about $5,OOO. The discourse
 in closing made an earnest plea for the free | exercise of that Christian virtue, charity, and that the heart should be ever ready to con-
 tribute to the mitigation and amelioration of
 suffering. Rev. Dr. Lines gave out the clos
 ing hymn, ''Blest be the tie that binds, and
 the closing prayer and the benediction was | by the Rev. Dr. Vibbert.
 1 The next in the Lenten series will be by
 Rev. E. s. Lines, subject ''Temperance, " on next Wednesday evening.
