Tie Mysterious Element in the Mind that
ArS9In n Vague Apprehensions-Wha Act,
The narrative below by prominent scien-
fist touches a sub ec5 of universal impor-
lance. Few people are free from the dis
tressing evils which hypochondria brings.
They co me at all times and are fed by the
very flame which they themselves start
They are dread of coming arrangement
caused by present disorder and bring about
more suic des than any other one thino
Their first approach should be carefully
guarded.
