ATOUCHING INCIDEs--
A Young girls Dementfa-How t was oe-
casfoued-Some New and start
ling Truths.

The 81. Louis express, on the New York
Central road, was crowded sac evening re-
Gently. when at one Of the vsy stations,
an elterly gentleman, accompanied by
Young lady, entered the cars and nnalIy
secured a seat. As the conductor ap-
preached the pair, the young lady arose,
and IN pleading voice saio:
please, sir, don't let HIM carry me to
the asylum. am not crazy; am little
tired, but not mad Oh! no indeed.
Went you please have papa take me back
homel"
The conductor, accustomed though he
was 10 all phases of humanity, looked with
sstonlshment at the pair as did the other
passengers in their vicinity. A few words
from the father, however, sufficed, 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 gentleman ard could not forego the de-
sire to speak TO him. With sad face and
trembling voice the father said:
ssMy daughter has been attending the
seminary in a distant town and was sue
ceedlng remarkably. Her natural quail
lies, together 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 a private
4sylum where we hope she Will soon be
better"
At the next station the old man and his
daughter left the cars, but the incident, so
suggestive of Shakspeare's OphelIa, swak-
ened strange thoughts in the mind OF the
writer. Ii is an absolute fact that while
the population of America increased thirty
Der cent. during the decade between 1870
and 1880 the insanity increase was one
amldred and thirty tiUe per cent for the
ssne period. Travellers by rail, by boat,
Or ir carriages in any part of the land see
large and elaborate buildings and inquire
what they are?
Insane asylums!
Who builds theml
Each state; every county; hundreds of
private individuals, and in all cases their
capacity is taxed TO the utmost.
Whyi
Because men, in business and professions,
women, at home or IN society, and children
l
forces by work, worry and care. This
brings about nervous disorders, indigestion
and eventually mania
II Is not always trouble with the head
that causes insanity. 1t far oitener arises
| from evils in other parts of the body. The
nervous system determines the status OF
| the brain. Any one who has periodic
headaches; occasional dizziness; dimness
of vision; q ringing in the ears; q feverish
head; frequent nausea or a sinking st 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 can never be In order. Acute
/ dyspepsia csuses more insane 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 st any moment of mama IN some one
OF its many terrible forms
! The value of moderation and the i'm
perative 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 frst approach
| of an invading army. Many means have
been advocated for meeting such attacks,
/ but sll have heretofore been more or less
| defective. There c1n be little doubt, how
ever, that for the purpose OF regulating
the stomach, toniug it up to proper action,
keeping the nerves in normal condition
and purifying the blood, Warmers Tlppe-
canoe The Best, excels all ancient or re-
cent discoveries. 1t is absolutely pure
and vegetable; it is certain 10 add vIgor to
adults, while 1t cannot by any possibility
Injure even child. The fact that 1t was
used IN the days of the famous Harrison
family is proof positive OF It's merit as n
has so thoroughly withstood the test Of
time. As tonic and reviviier it is SIM
ply wonderful. 1t has relieved the agony
Of the stomach in thousands of cases;
soothed the tired nerves; produced peace
ful sleep and averted the coming on of {
mania more 10 be dreaded than death it
self.
