EMINENT MEN AMONG ITS VICTIMS

ture He Draws,

Medical superintendent of the Randal's
Islands, and al authority on diseases of
the brain, had an article on General
Paresis of the Insane" which attracted
wide and deserved 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 dis
ease that invariably brings it's victims
speedily to the grave. This most ruth
less of maladies is that terrible form of
insanity, technically called general pare
sis or paretic dementia, and known to
the laymen as 'softening of the brain.
Its unvarying history entities it to pre-
cedence over consumption, cancer,
Bright's Disease, in short, places it peer
less in bad rre-eminence. And as if this
were not enough its malignity is empha-
sized by the way in which it juggles with
its victim before it extinguishes his life.
1t changes his personality, dethrones
| reason, almost eliminates the mind, and
steadily weakening the body, leaves to-
ward the last mere skeletal, vegetative
| being, scarce recognizable us the vestige
of his former self, unknowing, unfeel-
ing, mindless, to his friends at once a
| fearful memory and a terrible objective
presence. Finally death comes in a
form horrible enough to be the fitting
climax OF so awful u disease"
Paresis has numbered among it's VIC

alert, nervously organized business man.
author, actor, statesman, physician,
journalist, etc.
What is its cause?
In word, abuse Of function, over
activity. Who among us does not know
of Il once brilliant intellect row period

an incHrable condition by overwerk or
abuse of certain functions?
We do not wish to unnecessarily har-
row up the feelings of the reader. What

cape. When man feels that he is los.

a halt. 1t is either question of 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.

AIR. G. f. Lawrence, a banker and
member Of the New York Stock Ex-
change, speaking upon this subject, said
ANY one who has ever been in the New
York Stock Exchange, or who has wit

The experience of Mr. F. w. Whiting.

The Hon. II. 3. Greenleaf, who was
recently seen at the House of Represent

mony in the following ontspoken words
:" he exhaustions Of public life are GER
