4 HToman.s Experience Laid Ne-
fore the Public.

appeared recently an account of sim
gGiar nervous trouble that was epidemic
in Connecticut city.
Calling upon physician, whose writ

have made him more than locally fam
Gus. our reporter asked if the account
OF this epidemic could be true.
The doctor, after glancing through
the article rapidly, looked over his
spectaces at the reporter, and said:

pencil, and fill your note book with
stranger things than this"

looking reminiscently at the ceiling, the
doctor began: About two years ago, a
woman of some thirty years of age came
into this Office, and complained OF feel

busy that day and prescribed an ordl-
nary tonic. telling her if she wasn't
better in a few days, to come i'll again.
HER SECOND VISIT.
ga week later l had a second call from
her. This time | noticed her face care
fully. Her eyes looked tired, and her
actions certainly confirmed her reply of
'wretched' to my query as to how she
felt. \ few inquiries drew out the fol-
lowing facts. About year before she

HER THIRD VISIT.

to see her again, but in about two weeks
she came back and said that medicine
was just what she needed. Her appe-
