Says, and the Terrible Picture BE
Draws.
In the North American Reuiew for
December, DR.. Henry Smith Williams,
medical superintendent Of the RandalPs
islands, and an authority on diseases of the
brain, had an article on General Paresis of
the Insane" which attracted wide and de-
served attention. We quote its opening
paragraph:
"Of all the diseases that menace the race,
only few are absolutely fatal. Indeed,
there IS but one common disease that in
variably brings its victims speedily 20 the
grave. This most ruthless Of maladies is
that terrible form OF insanity, technically
called general paresie or paretic dementia,
and know to tue laymen as 'softeuing Of the
BRAIN It's unvarying history entities
it to precedence over consumption,
cancer, Brights disease, III short, places it
peerless in bad pre-eminence. And as if
this were not enough its malignity is en-
phasized by the way in which it iuggles
with its victim before 1t extinguisnes his
life. 1t changes his personality, dethrones
reason, almost eliminates the mind and
steadily weakening the body, leaves toward
the last a mere skeletal, vegetatIve being,
scarce recognizable as the svestige of his
former self. unknowing. unfeeliug, mind
less, to his friends at once fearful memory
and terrible objective presence. Finally
death comes IN form horrible enough to
be the fitting climax Of so awful a disease"
Paresis has numbered among its victims
scores of eminent men. IL does not strike
down the cloi, but the active, alert nery-
| actor, statesman. physician, journalist, etc.
What is its causel
In a word, abuse of function, over
activity. Who among US does not know Of
| a once brilliant intellect now periodically
clouded, or percnance brought to an incur
able condition by overwork or abuse Of GER
tain functions.
We do not wish to unnecessarily harrow
up the feelings of the reader What we de-
sire Is TO point out the way of escape. When

business, that his memory is failing him.
that he tires easily that his head aches. and
that he cannot eat and sleep WE'LL it is high
time to call a halt. II is either a question
OF less business, less self-gratifcation, or
softening Of the brain and death. When a
woman feels that she Is less brilliant less
able to perform her social duties; when she
realizes that she is growing sallower,
weaker, less attractive it is time for her to
pause and reflect
