 Not long ago a weeping mother i called to b:j goodbye to her only son who was scua to hc executed
 "Wcman." le exclaimed in nc | mcntarv iIenGr. Woman, l would | never have been here had ycr done 1, "your duty by me when l was young" [
 This was tcri1lr parting |, 1 horritied the spectators. 1t nearly 1 craz-d the conscience stril,cn mother |
 One can scarcely ovurcs;itnate the 1 mothers influence in the moulAil. os he character of hec oti5priur But hcw ot..n. oh, how oi,rH. dn mothers 1 seem to ignore this responsibility!
 During recent trip ol the rail the writer made the acquaintance ci Dr. A J. Benedict, Of Sackett's HarbUr, Y. Y, person who has made a study of human development. Referring to the murderous tendency oi the times, We asked that eminent man if the outlook Was not di-couraging9
 "If Iool >o." he said, but fancy wy have cause and ;ho remedy for such evils. In lny proics ,ional career have found hy hard study that We have cnerged from savagyry br deycl- ppment ot the nervous system and the intellectual lie. and we return to .avagpry as We ignore the fact that without the solid. trustworthy nervous system. We cannot hope tO save the race. Boys stuff dime novels, and the pistol i, to them the only respectfully | glorious instrument 10 secure fame. i Women read trashy literature and straigh:way try to murdc heir hue bands and friends hy poI'n. Busi ness men yield to the temptcy. and forge and steal and default. Mini. terS. charmed by beauty, forget the behests of conscience. On every side wc see the weakness of personal in- tegri;y."
 Do you regard it as a discase?' ] "Nnre especially aS the result of disease which, however, may be pre- , vented"
 Please define how"
 I "I cannot now enter into detail, i Our people can see their bodies, their blood, their bones. They never see i4iNlt li'l NfS anu 'pllHf' iii'lltl 1l!st4Is Go not suppose they have any" The farmers Wife rcjoircs in big. physi- cal frame, and yet ,ha dies premature iv. The nerve cannot stdnd the strain of continual work. The minister lalls dead iii his pulpit, but he never did a days physical work in his fife. The lawyer .aiuts in the presence of the court and is soon q wreck or q corpse, and yet the work is nerve work The man of affairs Is overcome with apo plaxy; the politician aul ruhiicist. with BrigAt'- disease The miud oi the mjutoycd man j. fred Ey the cx- plpit> vi crime and hc longs for such lame. These persons oyorwork or uvcr-eXcitc the nervous system and this fact kills or dct.uralizcs them
 If all this bc so how would you recJi;y il then:'
 "Lct nae tell you. \ few yearr ago had lady patient who was an utter wreck. She was the mother ol several children. She lost her mind and : imagined she Was cursed of God. She was a farmers wife, and worked cdrly and late. l never saw finer specimen , oi physical womanhood than she, but she Was q nervous wreck! She be came hlocdle-S. had the very worst c.
 female disorders and was in the last : stages c: dlDuminuria or Bright's dis ease. This latter disease works partic
 ular havoc with the nervous system and produces insanity and despair
 She was insane and desperate and fear tainted the blood oi her uiispTing
 with these terrible tcodcncics . treated her for several years. One hl . one the standard remedies Of tn,
 schools failed, but finally cured he I;;th Warmers safe cure, and she is t0 Gar strong and we'll Yet thousand = f women like her, every year brin: , ill-irrmed aUI criminally-inclinC,
 children into the world Is il an, wonder that nervous diseases prevai [ and that the who!g moral sense is de moraIized? Ii that remedy Were zen orally used, wc would have stroncc
 mothers, stronger children, stronge
 men and women, and with porfec | physical and mental health, crim !. would decrease and society be nor
 secure"
 Such candid opinions are surel e worth considering. nl7-lw
