HYPOCHONDRIA.
The Mysterious Element In the Mind that
sArouses Vague Apprehensions---
What Actually Causes It.

Importance. Few people are free from
the distressing evils which hypochon-
dria brings. They come at all times and
are fed by the very flame which they
themselves start. They are a dread OF
coming of arrangement caused by
present disorder and bring about more
suicides than any one thing. Their
first approach should be carefully
guarded.

able value to many who may see these

OF a want of nerve tone. My mind
seemed sluggish and l felt a certain
falling off in my natural condition of
Intellectual acuteness, activity and
vigor. l presume this is the same way
in which an innumerable number of
ether people feel, who like myself are
physically below par, but like thou
sands of others paid no attention to
these annoying troubles, attributing
them to overwork, and resorting to q
glass of beer or q milk punch, which
would for the time invigorate and re-
lieve my WEAKNESS.
After awhile the. stimulants COM
menced to disagree with my stomach,
my WEAKNESS increased, and was COM
PEELED to resort to other means to find
relief. If a physician is suffering he in
variably calls another physician to pre-
scribe for him, as he cannot see himself
as he sees others; so l called physi-
clan and he advised me to try little
chemical food, or bottle of hypopnos-
pilates. took two or three bottles of
the chemical food with no apparent
! benefit. My lassitude and indisposition
seemed to increase, my food distressed
me. l suffered from neuralgia pains in
different parts of my body, my muscles
became sore, my bowels were consti
pated, and my prospects for recovery
were not very flattering. l stated my
case to another physician, and he adj
vised me to take five to ten drops of
Magende's solution of morphine, two
or three times day, for the weakness
and distress in my stomach, and blue
pill every other night to relieve the con-
stipation. The morphine produced
such a deathly nausea that could not
take it, and the blue pill failed to re-
lieve my constipation:
In this condition 1 passed nearly a
year, wholly unfit for business, while
the effort to think was irksome and
painful. My blood became impoverish-
ed, and l suffered from incapacity with
an appalling sense of misery and gen.
eral apprehension of coming evil. l
passed sleepless nights and was
troubled with irregular action of the
heart, q constantly feverish condition
and the most excruciating fortunes in
my stomach, living for days on rice
water and Cruel, and, indeed, the di-
gestive functions seemed to be entirely
destroyed.

dition l should become hypochondrical

ton occasionally presented themselves.

In this condition l determined to take

so returned home with no earthly hope of

Among the numerous friends that
called on me was one who had been
afflicted somewhat similarly to my
self, but who had been restored to per
feet health. Upon his earnestrecom-
mendation l began the same treat
ment he had employed, but with little
hope of being benefited. At first ex-
perienced little, if any, relief, except
that it did not distress my stomach as
other remedies or even food had
done. I continued its use, however,
