NERVE ACTIVITY.
The Conditions of Modern Life Which
Tend to Nervousness.

The Conditions of Modern Life Which
Tend to Nervousness.
The nerves and their diseases are at
tracing large amount of attention
from medical men every day; and not
without cause, it seems. Speaking at
Brighton the other day, in behalf of the
National Hospital for the Paralyzed and
Epileptic. in Queens Square. Blooms
bury. DIR. Crichton-Browne dwelt on the
conditions of modern life which tend to
produce nervousness, both as a tempera-
ment and disease. ''In the history
of civilization" he said, 1--WE have had
a stone age, a bronze age, and an iron
age. and parallel with these in the his
tory of human development we have
had bone age, a muscle age. and a
nerve age. With the application of iron
TO the manufacture of machinery and
the substitution of steam-powcr for
brute strength, the strain of existence
was transferred from the muscles to the
nerves. The sons of Adam eat bread
now, not in the sweat of their faces, but
in the fever of their brains, and thews
parison with nimble nerve tibers.' The
mortality from nervous diseases appears
to be advancing rapidly. Apopiexy.
neuro-cephalus. and paralysis are, ac-
cording to DR.. Crichton-Browne. carry
ing off larger number of victims year
by year. They caused 105. .1S9 deaths
in the period of five years 1S6l-65. and
l45. SOB deaths in the five years, 1876 80.
Those who deny the existence of over
pressure should at least consider these
figures. James Gazette.

Florida, commonly called. because
when peeled they are so dry that one
