Arouses Vague Apprehensions-What
Actually Causes 1t.
The narrative below bya prominent SCI
enlist touches a subject of universal inn
portance. Few people are free from the
distressing evils which hypochondria
brings. They come at all times and are
fed by the very flame which they them
selves start. They are a dread of coming
arrangement caused by present disorder
and bring about more suicides than any
other one thing. Their first approach
should be carefully guarded.

1t is seldom I appear in print and I
should not do SO now did 1 not believe my
self in possession of truths, the revelation
of which will prove of inestimable value
to many who may see these lines. Mine
has been a trying experience. For many
years l was conscious of a want of nerve
tone. My mind seemed sluggish and I felt
a certain falling off in my natural condi-
ton of intellectual acuteness, activity and
vigor. l presume this is the same way in
which an innumerable number of other
people feel, who like myself are physically
below par, but like thousands of others 7
paid no attention to these annoying trou-
bles, attributing them to overwork, and re-
sorting to a glass of beer or a milk punch,
which would for the time invigorate and
relieve my WEAKNESS.
After awhile the stimulants commenced
to disagree with my stomach, my weari-
ness increased, and I was compelled to
resort to other means to find relief. If q
physician is suffering he invariably calls
another physician to prescribe for him, as
he can not see himself as he sees others; so
l called a physician and he advised me to
try a little chemical food, or a bottle Of
hypophosphates. I took two or three bot
ties 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 constipated,
and my prospects for recovery were not
very 1attering. I stated my case to
another physician, and he advised me to
take five to ten drops of Magends's solu.
ton of morphine, two or three times a day,
for the and distress in my
stomach, and a blue pill every other night
produced such a deathly nausea that ]
could not tax it, and the blue pill failed
to relieve my constipation.
In this condition l passed nearly a year,
wholly unfit for business, while the effort
to think was irksome and painful. NV

misery and general apprehension of com.

troubled with irregular action of the heart

living for days On rice water and Cruel
and, indeed, the digestive functions seemed
to be entirely destroyed.
1t was natural that while in this condi
tion I should become h-ypochondrical anC
fearful suggestions of self-destruction oc
casionally presented themselves. I ex
perienced an Unsuitable desire for sleep
| but on retiring would lie awake for a Ions
time tormented with troubled reflections
and when at last l did fall into an uneasy
slumber of short duration, it was disturbed
by horrid dreams. In this condition I de
