Not .ong since the CITIZEN predicted that, if the Atchlson, Topeka and Santa Fe road failed to make close connection with the Southern Pacific at DemiDg, Q through route from Kansas City or St. Louis would be opened up, that would make close connection with the east and north. Such an arrangement has been made. On and after Sunday, December lst, the Iron Mountain railway will put on three through sleepers between s. Louis and San Francisco, via the Iron Mountain, Texas Pacific and Southern Pacific roads. Bythis arrangement only one change of cars will be required be- tween New York and San Francisco. By this route the Wabash now is running a through sleeper between St. Louis and New York.

Quinine as a Cause of Insanity.

the following explanation of the erratic

Of carrying quinine in his pocket, and
taking 1t in small but frequent doses. and
the result is an elated, sanguine state OF
mind, quite beyond the bounds OF rea-
son. His memory is not yet impaired,
and the marked improvement already
consequent upon being deprived of the
drug gives his friends reason to expect
complete restoration in short time.
Meanwhile, let this case be one Of many
others to reach US all that, excel.
lent as qainine may be in many cases,
it is, like chloral or opium or alcohol,
exceedingly dangerous to tlife with "
The question which naturally arises in
the mind of the physician on reading
this is whether quinine has ever been re-
ported as causing insanity. There are
at least two such cases on record, both
of them reported 10 the Journal of Ner-
vous and Mertal Disease, July, 1881. In
both insanity always followed upon the
use of quinine, and from the character
of the two reported cases 1t seems GER
tain that in some predlsposed cases, {
brief, durable insanity may follow upon
the use of quinine --American Medica
