A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
eI.: Ns ss5


The BIZ Louis express, on the New Yorh
Central road, was crowded one evening re-
Gently, when at ono OF the way stations, an
elderly gentleman, accompanied by a 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 to the
asylum. am not crazy; am little tired,
but not mad. Oil no indeed Won't you
please have papa take mo back homer
The conductor, accustomed though he was
to all phases OF humanity, looked with as
constituent at the pair as did the other pas
sengers In their vicinity, A few words from
the father, however, sufficed, and the con.
ductor passed on while tho young lady turned
her face TO the window The writer CHANGED
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
seminary In distant town and was succeed
ing remarkably. Her natural qualities, to-
gether 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. i am taking
her TO private asylum where we hope she
will soon be BETTER
At the next station the old man and his
daughter left the cars, but tho incident, so
suggestive of Shakespeares Ophelia, awak.
ened strange thoughts in tho mind Of tho
writer 1t Is an absolute fact that while the
population Of America increased thirty per
cent. during the decade between 1870 and
1880 the insanity increase was ouer one hun
dred and hirtyfpe per cent, for the same
period Travellers by rail, by boat, or in car
riages, in any part Of the land see large and
elaborate buildings, and inquire what they
arei
Insane asylums!
Who builds theml
Each State; every county; hundreds Of
private individuals, and in all cases their
capacity is taxed to the utmost,
Whyl
Because men, in business and the profess
sions, women, at homo or in society, and chill
dren at school oyertax their mental and ner-
vous forces by work, worry and care This
brings about nervous disorders, indigestion
and eventually mania.
1t is not always trouble with tho head that
causes insanity. 1t far oftener arises from
evils in other parts of the body. The nervous
system determines the status Of the brain.
sional dizziness q dimness of vision q
ringing In the ears; feverish head;
frequent nausea or sinking at 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 cannever be
in order. Acute dyspepsia causes more In,
sane 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 its many terrible forms.
The value of moderation and the impera
tive necessity of care in keeping the stomach
right must therefore be clear to all. The least
appearance of indigestion, or mal-assimilatior
Of food should be watched as carefully al
the first approach of an invading army
Many means haye been advocated for meet
ing such attacks, but all have heretofor,
been more or less defective. There can b,
little doubt however, that for the purpose O
regulating the stomach, toning itup to prope
action, keeping its nerves in a normal condi
ton and purifying the blood, Warmers Tippe
canoe The Best, excels all ancient or recen
discoveries. 1t is absolutely pure and vege
table; it is certain to add vigor to adults
while it cannot by any possibility injure evei
| child. The fact that it was used In the day,
of the famous Harrison family is proof posi-
tive of its merit as it has SO thoroughly with
stood the test Of time. AS tonic and revivi
fer it is simply wonderful. 1t has relieved
the agony Of the stomach in thousands O
cases; soothed the tired nerves; produce,
peaceful sleep and averted the coming Oh
of mania more to be dreaded than death it
