The Worlds Greatest Blight

/: The almost universal condition Of weak
ened nerve force that prevails among tho
civilized people of all nations, and more
especially in those countries and towns
where the greatest business and social
activity prevails. It is one OF the cry
ing evils of our time that men and wo-
men become physical wreck at a period
in their lives when they should represent
the perfection Of physical and mental
force. The fact is that the requirements
of business and social life impose sucb
a hurly-burly. feverish, nervous, brain
consuming body-neglecting method OF
living, that only the strongest conditions
can endure the constant strain and main
tain q healthy equilibrium.
The most populous public institutions
today are the asylums for the insane, and
it is Enthusiastically fact that modern
business methods, social customs and
excuses that weaken the vital forces,
are the underlying causes for the con-
stantly increasing percentage of insanity.
In the desperate effort that men and wo-
men OF today are obliged to make to
maintain the constantly tagging energies
and to "keep up with the procession"
there grows upon item a constantly in
creasing resort to artificial methods OF
stimulation. Alcoholic drinks, narcotic
drugs, stimulating mixtures and every
modern device to produce temporary
exhilaration are resofted to.
The result is something appalling. Vic
Tins of what is known as the opium habit
are at every hand. Extensively and widely
advertised institutes for the treatm emit of
what are called nervous diseases, in
somnia, debility, weakness, atrophy.
lost vitality. drunkenness, ETC., are al
most mum berlsss and their patronage is
astonishingly large. 1t is drawn from
every class and its Affections not confined
to any age. The young man scarcely out
OF his teens, the middle-aged man, the
old man with but few years before him,
the society belle. the matron. the maiden,
the wife, the son, the daughter, all are
victims and they como to such place as
last desperate resort, with faint hope
that even q tenn orary relief may be found
for tho awful condition in which their
excuses or weaknesses have, left them. 1t
sounds like mockery to say that means
of universal relief from such Affections
has been found. and we're it not a feature
in connection with such an assertion that
the remedies are offered with an un-
equivocal guaranty that complete cure
will be effected Or no expense will be in

properly be suspected.

trating it upon the other. But this is not
the policy of the Rothschilds. They have
no desire to make an empty show OF their
power. War in the past has always
meant untold millions to them. Carnage
coins gold for them.
What the wealth of this family is. can
only be roughly estimated. 1t may be
81. 600, 900. 900 and it may be 50, 900, 0OO 900:
il is somewhere between these figures.
There are eleven barons, each one of them
among the richest men IN Europe and
with their res pective fortunes so fixed
that they can be used as a unit if need be.
All this wealth sprang from the genius
of the son of poor dealer in furniture
and cheap bric-a brac at Frankfort. This
genius was named Mayer Amschel Roths-
child and he was the founder of a fortune
which has no equal in contemporary
history. In small way this man started

When Partisan anarchist sent an :n-

Rothschilds couple of weeks ago, the
financial universe trembled the next day.
when the cable flashed the news to all
quarters of the globe. How intimately
the nations Of Europe are entwined with
the fortunes of the Rothschilds is ques-
ton. That the connection is very close
indeed can be easily SEEN by CLAN 70 at
the history of Europe. One nation may
declare war upon the other, but not the
most powerful of them all has the courage
or hardihood to declare war upon the
Rothschilds. Such is the power of money
when guided by the hereditary genius OF
this strange family.

century the Rothschilds wore most

few Americans have studied under
this genius. Henry F. Gilllg. the founder
OF the American exchange in London,
was one of these, but he did not follow
his teachings strictly. for after building
up great fortune in London without

years ago for SO, 900. 000 leaving hundreds
of touring Americans stranded in all

At the time of the Napoleonic invasion
the great Roshschild had built up local
reputation as financier and had already
established bis son Nathan Mayer Roths-

discovered the necessity of place to fly

Germ and for the first few years he had a
hari struggle to keep it from going to
the wall. From the first he mapped out
certain rules which no absolutely adj
hered to and which Are just as potent in
the management of the numerous banks
today as they were then. and for that
matter they will probably be in force a
dozen generations from now. One of
them is: IA man will not tell what he
has not heard.'' Another ia: "Goid
never repeats what it Sees" Absolute
secrecy in all dealings is the rule of the
house. Let clerk in any of the banks be
discovered talking about the most trivial
thing connected with the affairs OF the
business and he is at once discharged.
As far as possible the Kothschilds en-

SIN of present clerk may be keeping the
same accounts a hundred years hence
that his forefaher is working over today.

becomes hereditary.
