The Florida agriculturist., 1884-09-10

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 young lady, entered the
cars and finally secured q seat fAs ytne
conductor approached the pair, the
young lady arose, and in pleading
voice said: -........-.----.---, 49,
"Please, sir, don't let him carry me to
the asylum; l am not crazy; l am a lit
tie tired, but not mad. COhi noindeed.
Won't you please have papa take me
back home?"
The conductor, accustomed though he
was to all phases of humanity, looked
with astonishment at the pair as dld the
other passengers in their vicinity A
few words from the father, however,
sutficed, and the conductor passed on,
while the young lady turned her iace to
the window The writer CHANGED TO oe
seated Just behind the old gentleman,
and could not forego the desire to speak
to him. With sad face and tremD-
ling voice the father said:
"My daughter has been attending the
seminary in distant town, and was
succeeding remarkably well. Her nat
ural qualities, together with great am
bition, placed her in the front ranks OF
the school, but she studied too closely,
was not careful of her health, ana her
poor brain has been turned. l am taking
her to private asylum where we nope
she will soon be BETTER
At the next station the old gentleman
and his daughter left the cars, but the
incident, so suggestive OF Shakespeare,
Ophelia, awakened strange thoughts III
the mind of the writer. 1t is an abso-
lutte fact that while the population OF
America increased thirty per cent. dur
ing the decade between 1870 and 1851,
the insanity increase was over one hun-
dred and thirty per cent. for the same pc
riod. Travellers by rail, by boat, or IN
carriages, in any part OF the land, see
large and elaborate buildings, land inquire
what they are?
Insane asylums!
Who builds them?
E Each State; every county; hundreds
of private individuals, and in all cases
their capacity is taxed to the utmost.
3" Why? -
Because men in business, and the pro-
feSsiOns, women, at home or In society,
and children at school overtaX their
nervous forces by work, worry and care.
This brings about nevous disorders, in
digestion and eventually mania. =
1t is not always trouble with the head
that causes insanity. 1t far oftener ari-
ses from evils in other parts of the body.
The nervous system determines the sta
us of the brain. Any one who has peri
odic headaches; occasional dizziness; a
a@RsFi R YsGG YesdGG 4sdnsnf Sns nanses ar
sinking at the pitsJI1the StonlTcfi, should
take warning at dice. The stomach 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 deranged is not and
cannot be safe from the coming on at
any moment of mania in some one of it's
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 indiges-
ton, or rmal-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, ton
ing it up to proper action, keeping its
nerves in normal condition, and puri-
flying the blood, Warmers Tippecanoe
The Best, excels all ancient or recent
discoveries. 1t is absolutely pure and
vegetable; is certain to add vigor to
adults, while it cannot by any possibility
injure even child. The fact that it
was used in the days of the famous Har-
rison family is proof positive of its mer-
it's as it has SO thoroughly withstood the
test of time AS tonic and revivifier 1t
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 mania more to be dreaded than
death itself.
