dictionary. Now il is part OF the voca-
bulary of every man who thinks and reads.
Why? Simply because 1t has crept into
the language. as the horrible disease
which bears it's name has crept INTO the

Of the lungs. Paresis is consumption OF
the BRAIN.
Paresis comes to overwrought brains /;

into night and night into an inferno. 1t
comes to men who cannot stand success.
IL comes to men who cannot control their
appetites.

do wonders. He Is going 10 reyolutlonlZe
things. He is abnormally good-natured,
but he cannot get away from himself and
his schemes for two consecutive minutes.

so extrsvagantly that his friends induce
him TO enter carriage for "a little drive
to on ut.of-town hotel" The hotel turns
out TO be an asylum for the insane.

In reality he doesn't. He sits for hours at
time gazing at nothing. That is the
saddest scene of all. He tries TO recall

week he grows more helpless. In time he
is like a year-old baby. Then he dies.

tation, IN Its early stages. II may be pre-
vented. II does not invariably come from
