ling Truths.
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 young
lady entered the cars 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 20 the
asylum. i am not crazy; am "a 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 alP phases OF humanity, looked with AS
constituent at the pair, as did the other pas
sengers I'm their vicinity. A few words from
the father, however, suficed, and the con
ductor passed on while the young lady turned
her face to the window. The writer CHANGED
to be seated just behind the old gentleman,
and could not forego the desire TO speak TO
him. With sad face and a trembling voice
the father said:
my, daughter has been attending the SEM
mary In distant town and was succeeding
remarkably. Her natural qualities together
with great ambition, placed her In the front
ranks OF the school, but she studied too close
y, was not careful of her health, and her
poor brain has been turned. j am taking her
to a private asylum where we hope she Will
soon he BETTER"
At the next station the old man and his
daughter left the cars, but the incident, so
suggestive of Shakspeare's Ophella, awakened
strange thoughts in the mind OF the writer.
1t is an absolute fact that while the popula-
ton Of America increased 30 per cent dur
ing the decade between 1870 and 1850 the in
sanity increase was Ouer one hundred and ufr-
ti-hre per cent. for the same period. Travel
ers by rail, by boat or I'm carriages in any
part OF the land see large and elaborate
buildings, and inquire what they are.
Insane asylums!
Who builds them?
Each State; every county; hundreds of
private individuals, and in all cases their ca
pacity Is taxed to the utmost.
Why?
Because men, in business and the profess
sions, women, at home or in society, and chill
dren fit school overtax their mental and nerv-
Gus 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. 1t TAR oftener arises from
evils in other parts of the body. The nerv-
Gus system determines the status OF the
brain. Any one who has periodic headaches;
occasional dizziness a dimness of vision;
ringing in the ears; a feverish head: frequent
nausea or sinking at the pit Of the stom-
ach, should take warning at once. The stom-
hcn ana nedu are III ulrccC anu III
one be impaired the other can never he in
order. Acute dyspepsia causes 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 at any moment of mama in
some one OF its many terrible forms.
The value of moderation and the imper-
alive necessity OF care in keeping the stom-
ach right must therefore be clear to all. The
least appearance of indigestion or NAL as
similation of food should be watched as care
fully as the first approach of an invading
army. Many means have been advocated
for meeting such attacks, but all have here
tofore been more or less defective. There
can be little doubt, however, that for the
purpose of regulating the stomach, toning
il up 10 proper action, keeping its nerves in
a normal condition, and purifying the blood,
Warmers Tippecanoe The Best, excels all an
cient or recent discoveries. 1t is absolutely
pure and vegetable; IL is certain to add vigor
to adults, while IT cannot by any possibility
injure even a child. The fact that il was
used in the days of the famous Harrison
family is proof positive of its merit, as IL has
so thoroughly withstood the test OF time. As
a tonic and revivifier IL is simply wonderful.
1t has relieved the agony of the stomach in
thousands of cases; soothed the tired nerves;
produced peaceful sleep, and averted the
coming on of n mania more TO be dreaded
than death itself.
