The St. Louis express on the New York
Central road, was crowded one evening re-
Gently, when at one Of the way stations an
elderly gentleman, accompanied by a young
lady, entered the cars and finally secured a
seat. As the conductor approached the pair,
the young lady arose, and in 3 pleading voice
said:
ssPIease, sir, don't let him carry me to the
asylum I am not crazy; am little tired,
but not mad OH no indeed. Won't you
please have papa take me back homer
The conductor, accustomed though he was
to all phases of humanity, looked with as
constituent at the pair as did the other pas
sengers in their vicinity. Anew words from
the father, however. sufflced, and the con-
ductor passed on while the young lady turned
her face to the window The writer CHANGED
to be seated just bedind the old gentleman,
and could not forego the desire TO speak To
him. With a sad face and trembling voice
the father said:
'sMy daughter has been attending the
seminary in a distant town and was succeed
ing remarkably. Her natural qualities, to-
gether with great ambition, placed her in
the front ranks of the school, but she studied
too closely, was not careful of her health, and
her poor brain has been turned. am taking
her to q private asylum where we hope she
win soon be better"
At the next station the old man and his
daughter left the cars, but the incident, so
suggestive of Shakespeares Ophelia, awak
ened strange thoughts in the mind of the
writer. It is an absolute fact that while the
population of America increased thirty per
cent. during the decade between 1870 and
1880 the insanity increase was orsr one hun
bred and hirtl-fire per cent. for the same
period Travellers by rail, by boat, or in car
riages, in any part of the land see large and
elaborate buildings, and inquire what they
ares
Insane asylumsl
Who builds theml
Each State; every county; hundreds OF
private individuals, and in all cases their
capacity is taxed to the utmost
Whyl
Because men, in business and the profess
sions, women at home or in society, and chill
dren at school overtax their mental and ner-
vous forces by work, worry and care. This
brings about nervous disorders, indigestion
and eventually mania.
1t is not always trouble with the head that
causes insanity. It far oftener arises from
evils in other parts of the body. The nervous
system determines the status OF the brain
Any one who has periodic headaches; occa-
sional dizziness dimness OF vision
ringing in the ears; a feverish head;
frequent nausea or a sinking at the pit of
the stomach, should take warning at once
The stomach and head are in direct sympathy
and If one be impaired the other cannever be
in order. Acute dyspepsia causes more in
sane suicides than any other known agency,
and the man, woman or child whose stomach
is deranged is not and cannot be safe from
the coming on at any moment of mania in
some one of its many terrible forms
The value of moderation and the impera-
tive necessity of care in keeping the stomach
right must therefore be clear to all. The least
appearance of indigestion, or mal-assimilation
of food should be watched as carefully as
the first approach of an invading army
Many means have been advocated for meet
ing such attacks, bit all have heretofore
been more or less defective. There can be
little doubt, however that for the purpose of
regulating the stomach, toning itup to proper
action, keeping its nerves in a normal condi-
ton and purifying the blood, Warmers Tippe-
canoe The Best excels all ancient or recent
discoveries. 1t is absolutely pure and vege-
table, it is certain TO add vigor to adults,
while it cannot by any possibility injure even

tive of its merit it has SO thoroughly with
stood the test of time AS tonic and revivi-
fer it is simply wonderful. 1t has relieved
