The ST. Louis express on the New
York Central road, was crowded one
evening recently, when at one Of the
way stations m elderly gentleman, &c
compenied by : young lady, entered the
cars and finally secured seet. As the
conductor approached t6epair, the Young
lady arose, and in . pleading voice said !:
sPlease, sis, don't let him carry me to
the asylum. Tam not crazy; am
little tired, but mot mad. oh no indeed.
Won't you please have papa take me
back homo r.
The conductor, accustomed though ne
was to all phases Of humanity, looked
with astonishment at the pair as did the
other passengers In their vicinity. A
few words from the father, however, suf-
feed, and the conductor passed on while
the young lady turned her face. to the
window. The writer chanced to be
seated just behind the old gentleman and
could not forego the desire to speak to
him. With sad face and trembling
voice the father said:
aMy daughter has been attending q
seminary in . distant town and was sue
ceeding remarkably. Her natural quai-
ties, together with q 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
will soon be better"
/ At the next station the old man and
his daughter left the cars, but the incl
dent. so suggestive Of Shakespeares
] Ophelia, awakened strange thoughts in
! the mind of the writer. It is an absolute
fact that while the population of America
increased 80 per cent during the decade
between 1870 and 1880 the insanity in
crease was over lS5 per cent for the same
i 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 2
Insane asYlnms!
| Who builds them? 4?
4 Each state; every county; hundreds
of private individuals, and in all cases
their capacity is taxed to the utmost.
/ Why?
Because men, In business and the
! professions, women, at home or in soci-
kety, and children at school overtax their
mental and nervous forces by work,
worry and care. This brings about
nervous disorders, indigestion and event
ually mania.
1t is notalways trouble with the head
that causes insanity. 1t far oftener
arises from evils in other parts of the
body. The nervous system determines
4 the status Of the brain. Anyone who
has periodic headaches; occasional diz-
illness; dimness of vision /; a ringing in
the ears feverish head frequent nau-
sea or sinking at the pit ofthe stomach,
should take warning at once, The stom-
ach and head are in direct sympathy
and if one be impaired the other can
never be in order. Acute dyspepsia
causes more insane suicides than any
other known agency, and the man,
woman or child whose stomach is de-
ranged is not and cannot be safe from
the coming on at any moment of mania
. IN some one of its many terrible forms.
II The value of moderation and the i'm
perative necessity of care IN keeping
the stomach right must therefore BIB clear
to all, Theleast appearance of indiges-
ton, or mal-assimilation of food should
be watched as carefully as the first APP
proach of an invading army. Many
means have been advocated for meeting
such attacks, but all have heretofore
been more or less defective. There can
be little doubt, however, that for the
purpose Of regulating the stomach, toning
it up to proper action keeping its nerves
in normal condition and purifying the
blood, Warmers Tippecanoe The Best,
excels all ancient or recent discoveries.
1t is absolutely pure and vegetable 1t is
certain to add vigor to adults, while it
cannot by any possibility inJure even a
child. The fact that it 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 revivifer it is simply
wonderful 1t has relieved the agony of
the stomach in thousands of cases J;
soothed the tired nerves; produced peace
full sleep and ayerted the coming on of a
mania more to be dreaded than death
| itself.
