NERVOUS DISEASES.
A. Physician Notes Their Increase I'm
England.

investigated the subject some time
ago by analyzing the annual reports
If the register general for the period
of thirty years, The frequency With
which they occur, the place they occu-
py in the general mortality of the ma
ton, the age at which they are most
murderous, and the peculiar influence
of sex upon their development were
then shown to follow certain definite
and simple laws. into the working Of
which chance does not enter. There
is no question that certain functional
neuroses, more especially failure of
brain power, hysteria, hypochondria
sis, and similar affections have been
for some time past on the increase ow-
ing to the fact that the struggle of life
is keener, the competition more in
tense, the work heavier and the anx-
iety more absorbing than used to be-
the case in previous periods of the.
history of mankind, more especially
In the large centers of populations.
The nervous system is therefore more
than was the case in former times;
This, however, does not apply to the
really organic or structural diseases
OF the brain and spinal cord, such as
tumor, softening, Inflammation, etc.,
nor to epilepsy and insanity, which
continue to- occur in about the same
ratio now as they have done before.
The general results Of my investiga-
tons, based on nearly 225,0O0 cases,
may be summed up in the following
five propositions:
First-sThe rate at which disease of
the nervous system prove fatal to the
popula ton Of this country is steady
one, and subject to a definite law, to
which there are not any or only ap-
parent exceptions. This rate does not
appear to vary perceptibly from time
to time, and amounts to about - per
cent of the entire mortality from all
causes.
Second-Disease of the nervous sys-
tenn occupy the fourth rank among
the maladies destructive of human
life, being only surpassed in fatality
by zymotic, tubercula: and respira tory
Diseases
Third-Nervous diseases are not, as
is commonly asserted. more frequent,
but, on the contrary, less numerous in
large towns than in the country, and
it is probable that their occurrence is
powerfully influenced by race.
Fourth-Sex has considerable in
fuence on the production Of nervous
diseases; for although in this country
the population of females exceeds that
of the males, the death Of males from
nervous affections predominant con-
stant1y over those of females, the male
death rate being 1904 and the female
11.G2 per cent
Fifth-Age has even a more power
full influence on the production Of
nervous diseases than sex; for these
maladies attain an immense maximum
in the first years Of life, owing to the
great prevalence of infantile' convul-
sions. They are much less frequent
in youth and middle age, and attain a
second maximum in old age-that is,
after seventy-owing to the prevalence
of apoplexy and paralysis; but the
second maximum amounts to only
about the tenth part of the first max
imum attained during infant life

The Hnnladryas.

The keeper at the zoo, describing to
me the hamadrya's appearance when
it raised itself to strike, said it was
proud" and "bold looking" It's action
was as swift as thought, and looked
almost like a spring from the ground.
How high when irritated the terrific
thing can strike is not known; but no
other instance is authenticated of a
snake making good a blow so high as
four feet from the ground, while
marks on the glass Of it's cage show
that the reptile has. in it's endeavors
to escape from confinement, reached
up to the height of nine feet.
Surprising, then, that we were in
clined to believe all that the natives
Of India say about it-that it is so
fierce as to attack man at sight, so
vindictive as to follow him with dog
ged resolution, and add to it all we
actually know about the reptile, that
it can climb trees like an anaconda,
swim like a hydra, get over a nine
foot wall and squeeze through a six
inch hole, and that it's bite is death,
it would have to be confessed that the
snake-e eating snake is the most terri
BILE creature in nature.-GOOd Words.

NOSE-BLEED.
What Causes 1t in Youth and Later
and What to Do.

What Causes 1t in Youth and Later
and What to Do.
Bleeding from the nose is caused by
the congestion of the lining membrane
of the nose. This congestion may be
the result of catarrh, Or more proper
ly, of the diseased condition Of the
nasal membranes which is due to ca
tarrh; or it may accompany conges-
ton of some organ of the body, as the
liver. 1t may also result from heart
disease, or even from dyspepsia.
Nose-bleed in children is commonly
supposed to indicate nothing more
than that the child tires easily or is
over-active. Yet even these terms ex-
press more than is obvious upon
casual reading of the words. If a
child tires easily, or, In other words If
the least ovCr-eXertiCn at play Or at
study results in a more or less severe
attack of nose-bleed. the child must be
in 4 weakened state; while, On the
other hand, if he is accustomed to-
allow his play or his studies so to alb
sorb his interest as to mike him for
get his fatigue he is placing an injudl-
In either case he will be benefited
by a curtailment of work and an IN
crease in the amount Of time allotted
for rest. until his body is more fully
developed. No child's mind can be de-
veloped faster than the body except
at the expense of health.
Nose bleed occurring in middle life
and old age is a more serious thing, as
it indicates a graver condition of
affairs 1t is usually coincident with
diseases of the liver, heart or kidneys.
Its cure is, of course, dependent upon
the restoration of the organs to nor
NAL condition. In elderly persons the
disorder sometimes appears to result
from weakness, which, IN turn, it ag-
!gravateS.
It is a common saying that in full
FLOODED persons an occasional nose
bleed is beneficial; and this may, in
!certain sense, be true, ipasmuch as
the nasal membranes are thus relieved
of congestion. But it is more safe to
say that bleeding from the nose is
never anything but a sign of weak
ness.
The treatment of an attack of nose
ibleed consists in absolute rest and
!cool applica tons to the head. The ex-
tremities should be warm. The head
should not be held down over a basin,
as this favors the flow Of blood. One
mode Of stopping an ordinary attack

CHITRAL AND ITS PEOPLE,

The Latter Can Fight Well Enough,
but Prefer Peace.
Pittsburg Dispatch: Chitral, concern
ing which Englishmen are Just now
greatly interested is a tributary of the
maharajah of Kashmff, himself one of the
feudatory princes of India 1t is the most
important state on the uttermost line of
the Indian frontier, and commands the
chief practicable road from the Pamirs
southwark. Hence the Importance of es-
tutlishing in it strong government, on
whose allegiance the Indian viceroy may
always rely.
The country is mountainous, and is
composed partly of gigantic snowy peaks
and barren rocky mountains, and, in a
very small degree, of cultivated land. The
valleys are narrow and confined, the main
ones IN their inhabited portions running
from 5000 to 5000 feet above the level
of the sea. 1t is only in them that any
cultivation is at all found, and even there
it Is not carried on very extensively. But
what there is is generally good, and Chit
raj is a country noted for it's fruit
The climate varies, of course. according
parts, at about 5000 feet above the sea
level, it ranges from - to Is deg. in win
ter to 100 deg. in summer, and higher up,
at 5000 feet, it ranges from about 5 deg
below zero in winter to about 80 deg.
above in summer. But in some places,
like Gugis, one Of the fortified forts.
where trees are very scarce, even at 1000
feet the heat is often very great in sum-
mer. The population of Chitral is proba-
bly, about 10000 or $4,000.
The people are all Mohammedans, but
not of a very strict or fanatical type. In
the lower part of the Chitral valley,
where they touch on the Pathans, who
are noted for their fanatcism. they have
become to a certain extent tainted by it;
but in the upper valleys the people are
husband, the mass Of them do not trouble
themselves very much about religious OBJ
| servances. On the whole they are stated
to be a peaceable race, who can fight well
enough when reused to action, but who
really prefer to keep quiet and be left
alone to enjoy life in peace.
