THE GREAT DANGER OFTO-DAY
1t is Growing More Common
and it is Invading the Home.
EMINENT MEN AMONG IT'S VICTIMS.
what Doctor Williams, of Randaill
Island Says andthe Terrible Picture H'
Draws.

december, III. Merry Nmlin NllhmS,
Medical Superintendent Of the Randall's s
Islands, and an 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 a few are absolutely fatal.
Indeed. there is but one common disease
that invariably brings its victims
speedily to the grave. This most ruth.
less of maladies Is that terrible form of
insanity, technically called general
paresis or paretic demeutia, and known
10 the laymen as 'sOftening Of the brain.
It's unvarying history entities 10 TO pre-

were not enough It's malignity is em-
phasized by the way In which 10 iuggles
with its victim before it extinguishes
his life. II changes his personality, de-
thrones reason, almost eliminates the
mind, and steadily weakening the body,
leaves toward the last a mere skeletal,
vegetative being, scarce recognizable as
the vestige Of his former self, unknow-
ing, unfeeling mindless, to his friends

objective presence. Finally death comes
in form horrible enough to be the fit
ting climax of so awful disease.
Paresis has numbered among its vic
tins scores of eminent men, IL does not
strike down the clod, but the active,
alert, nervously organized business man,
author actor, statesman, physician,
journalist, etc.
What is its cause2
In word, abuse Of function, over
activity. Who among us does not know
of once brilliant intellect now period
ically clouded, or perchance brought TO
an incurable condition by overwork or
abuse of certain functions.
We do not wish to unnecessarily har-
row up the feelings of the reader. What
we desire is TO point out the way of
escape. When q man feels that he is
losing his grip on business, that his
memory is failing him, that he tires
easily, that his headaches, and that he
cannot eat and sleep well, 10 is high time
to call a halt. IL is either a question OF
less business, less qualification, or
soitening 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.
But, you say, What can / do2 How
can / escapeg' The answer is simple.
Follow the laws of life, the dictates OF
common sense. Do as 80 many Others
have done, take the greatest scientific
preparation Of the age for preventing
and counteracting these troubles. You
