the widest state of confusion, while the Victim
for she certainly Is victim to her worrying dispo
sition-imagines herself q hundred times more i'll
than she Is, and dies many times before she really
dies once
Another woman worries because she Is growing
old. Oh, dear Is not every one growing old?
Is she the only person. that she should make such
fuss about II She will not do this nor that,
nor go here nor there nor sit In strong light for
fear that some one will discover gray hair, the
tiniest suspicion of a wrinkle. And while she
worries In this way she helps to make herself look
old. She denies herself the pleasures of life be-
cause some one may discover her age; and so the
years fly by and she Ia old-old with years and
older with worry. Unhappy herself and making
those about her unhappy; unloved and ENJOYABLE.
One writer attributes as one cause Of fretfulness
the habit that some women have of undertaking
themselves Whether II Is from carelessness, from
general indifference to food, account of hav-
ing no appetite, or because they too busy to
give the time to eat the proper quantity that their
system demands many women underfed, and
the result L. felt in both mind and body.
Many women really live on two meals day,
taking only cup Of tea and slice of bread and
butter at noon. They say Ii Is all they require
and all they want; they could not eat anything
more. But they deceive themselves, for this is not
true It may be that they do not want to eat
more but II 80, 1t is because they have not been
properly trained Eating 10 q matter of training
as much rs anything else and as the system re-
quires q considerable amount of food to keep the
general health up to the proper standard women
should be trained to eat o sufficient quantity of
wholesome food at regular hours. Three meals
day, or even four, are not too much for some
women, and meat twice q day Is indispensable 10
good health. Undertaking not be too severely
condemned. 1t weakens the system, making the
victim liable to an innumerable list of ailments,
such as sore throat, backache and neuralgia, be-
sides many other Ills which, when once fastened
on the system, are difficult to get rid of.
-@~A
Cure Of Inebriates.
From the Quarterly Journal of Iae6riety, pub
lished at Hartford, Conn., under the auspices of
the American Association for the Study and Cure
of Inebriates we make the following extracts from
recent lecture by DIR. Elliott, at Toronto:
Four conditions must be observed. The first
condition of cure and reformation is abstinence
The patient Is being poisoned, and the poisoning
must be stopped. Were 1t an arsenic instead of an
alcohol, no one would dispute this So long as the
drinking of intoxicants Is INDUCED in long will
the bodily, mental and moral mischief be intensified
and made apparent. Abstinence must be absolute,
and on no plea of fashion, physic, of religion
ought the smallest quantity of intoxicant be put
rial chemical narcotic poison, and a mere sip has,
even In the most solemn circumstances, been known
to reight In the fercest intensity the drink
which for Q long period Of years had been dormant
and unfelt. The second condition of cure is to
ascertain the predisposing and exciting causes of
inebriety, and 10 endeavor to remove these causes
which may lie in some remote deep seated
ply steal silment. The third condition of cure Is
to restore the physical and mental tone. This can
be done by appropriate medical treatment, by fresh
air and exercise by nourishing and dgestible food
given to reconstruct healthy bodily tissue and
brain cell, aided by intellectual, educational and
religious influences Nowhere can these conditions
of cure be efectually carried out in an asylum
where the unfortunate victim of drink is placed in
quarantine, treated with suitable remedies until
rounded by Christian and eevating influences fed
with nourishing and suitable diet, and supplied
with skillful medical treatment. His brain and
nervous system will then be gradually restored to
