 FrfghtfuI Condemnation of a Mother by Her Son-What Does 1t Mean Not long ago weeping mother called to bid good bye to her only son who was soon to be executed. ssWoman,n he exclaimed in a mementary frenzy, tiWoman, would never have been here had you done your duty by me when was young."
 This was terrible parting. It mortified the spectators, it nearly erazed the conscience stricken mother. One can scarcely overestimate the mothers influence in the moulding of the character of her offspring. But how often, oh, how often do mothers seem to ignore this responsibili- ty.
 During recent trip on the rail the writer made the acquaintance of Dr. A. J. Benedict of Saeketts Harbor, N. Y., 8 person who has made study of human development. Referring to the nurderous tendency of the times, we asked that eminent man if the out look was not diseouraging.
 "It looks so," he said, s'but I fancy we havea cause and remedy for such evils. In my professional career l have found by hard study that we have emerged from sayagery by development of the nervous system and the intellectual life, and we return to savag- cry as we ignore the fact that without the solid, trustworthy nervous system, we can- not hope to save the race. Boys stuff dime novels, and the pistol is to them the only re- specially glorious instrument to secure fame. Women read trashy literature and straight way try to murder their husbands and friends by poison. Business men yield to the tsmpter, and forage and steal and de- fault. Ministers, charmed by beauty. forget the behests of conscience. On every side we see the weakness of personal integrity"
 t'Do you regard it disease p
 s'More especially as the result of disease which, however, may bs prevented"
 Please define how.
 1T cannot now enter into details. Our people can see their bodies, their blood, their bones. They never see their nerves and consequently many do not suppose they have any The farmers wife rejoices in big, physical frame, and yet she dies prematureIy. The nerve cannot stand the strain of continu- al work. The minister falls dead in his pull pit, but he never did a days physical work in his life. The lawyer faints in the pres enee of the court and is soon wreck of 8 corpse, and yet the work is nerve work. The man of affairs is overcome with apo plexy; the politician and publicist, with Bright's disease. The mind of the untutored man is fired by the exploits of crime and he longs for such fame. These persons over work or over excite the nervous system, and this fact kills or demoralizes them"
 eff all this be so how would you rectify it then g'
 stLet me tell you. A few years ago had @ lady patient who was utter wreck. She was the mother of several children. She lost her mind and imagined she was cursed of God. She was 8 farmers wife, and work ed early and late never saw finer speci- men of physical womanhood than she, but she was a nervous wreck. She became bloodless, had the very worst of female dis orders, and was in the last stages of albu- minuria or Bright's disease. This latter disease works particular havoc with the nervous system and produces insanity and o44 o,,I I fear tainted the blood of her offspring with these terrible tendencies. treated her for several years. One by one the standard remedies of the schools failed, but I finally cured her with Warmers safe cure, and she is to-day strong and well. Yet thousands of women like her, every year bring ill-tormed and criminally inclined children into the world Is it any wonder that nervous dis eases prevail and that the whole moral sense is demoralizeda If that remedy were gener- ally used, we would have stronger mothers, stronger children, stronger men and women, and with perfect physical and mental health; crime would decrease and society be more secure"
 Such candid opiniops are surely worth considering
