The st. Louis Express, on the New
York Central road, was crowded one
evening recently, when at one Of the
way stations, an elderly gentleman, ac-
companied by a young lady, entered the
cars and and finally secured a seat. AS
the conductor approached the pair, the
young lady arose, and in a pleading
voice said:
please, sir, don't let him carry me to
the asylum. / am not crazy; / am a
little tired, but not mad. Oil no in
deed. Won't you please have papa
take me back home?"
The conductor, accustomed though
he was to all phases of humanity, look
ed with establishment at the pair as did
the other passengers in their vicinity.
A few words from the father, however,
suficed, and the conductor passed on
while the young lady turned her face
to the window. The writer CHANGED to
be seated just behind the old gentle
man and could not forego the desire to
speak to him. With a sad face and q
trembling voice the father said:
my daughter has been attending
the seminary in a distant town and Yves
succeeding remarkably. Her natural
qualities, together with a 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 had been turned. / am taking
her to a private asylum where we hope
she will soon be better
AT the next station the old man and
his daughter left the cars, but the in
cident so suggestive Of Shakspeare's
Ophelia, awak ened strange thoughts in
the mind of the writer. 1t is an absolute
fact that while the population of Amer
lea increased thirty per cent. during
the decade between 1870 and 1880 the
insanity increase was over one hundred
and thirty five per cent for the anne
period. Travellers by rail, by boat,
or In carriages in any part of the land
see large and elaborate buildings, and
inquire what they are?
Insane asyIumsl
Who builds them?
Each state; each county; hundreds Of
private indivuals. and in all cases their
capacity is taxed to the utmost
Why?
Because men, IN business and the
professions, women, at home or In So
cietY, and children at school overtax
their mental and W forces by
work, worry aud 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 de-
termines the status Of the brain. Any
one who has periodic headaches; occa-
sional dizziness; a dimness of vision; a
ringing in the ears; a feverish head:
frequent u 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

than any other known agency and
the man, woman or child whose
stomach is deranged is not
and cannot be safe from the com
ing on at any moment of mania
in some one of its many terrible forms.
The value of moderation and the inn
perative necessity of care in keeping the
| stomach right must therefore be clear
to all. The least appearance of indi-
| gestion, or ASSASSINATION of food
should be watched as carefully as the
first approach of an invading army.
Many means have been advocated for
meeting such attacks, butaii have here
tof9re been more or less defective.
There can be little doubt, however, that
for the purpose Of regulating the stom-
ach, tcning 1t up toproper action, keep
ing its nerves In a normal condition
and purifying the blood, Warmers Tip
pecanoe The Best, excels all ancient
or recent discoveries. 1t is absolutely
pure and vegetable; it is certain to add
| yigor to adults, while it cannot by any
possibility injure even achild. The fact
thatit was used in the days of the famous
Harrison family is proof positive of its
merit as it has so thoroughly withstood
the test Of time. As a tonic and revivi-
fer il is simply wonderful. 1t has re-
lieved the agony of the stomach in thou
ssnds of cases; soothed the tired nerves;
produced peaceful sleep and avertsd the
coming on of mania more tobe dread
