The prevalent maladies of diminution OF
and mental exhaustion, are to-day engaging
the careful attention of the most eminent
Psychologists. Their prevalence is ascribed
TO poisoning through alcoholic drinks,
opium tainted and adulterated foods, con-
taminated water, the vistiated atmosphere Of
road trains, the flashing of electric lights,
the clangor Of street cars, the jingling OF
telephone bells, the vertigo producing effects
of lofty buildings and swift elevators, the
perpetual noises and shifting sights of city
streets, all the constant activities, the simp-
lest of which involve an effort of the nervous
system and wearing of tissue
A German author in a recently published
work calls attention TO these murderous in
fuences that beset the end of the century
and points out that the enormous increase in
nervous expenditure has not and can not
have corresponding increase of supply in
the food we eat. Even if we had the choicest
food in the greatest abundance it could do
nothing toward helping US, for we would be
incapable of digesting it Our stomachs can
not keep pace with the brain and nervous
system. The latter demand much more than
the former are able TO furnish and as the
inevitable consequence then comes disaster.
The strongest may keep up but the weaker
fall by the way. Mankind has become fati-
gued and exhausted and this fatigue and ex-
bauStion make themselves manifest in the
increase of nervous disorders, including such
new affections as the railway brain and
railway spine" the increase of heart dis
esse, the prevalence of precocious dental
decay and badness, of nearsightedness and

1t is generally agreed that mans physi-
cal condition is dependent, TO great degree,
upon the nature of his employment. Men
whose occupation necessitates the constant
use of the brain, without any opportunity
for physical exercise, are generally nervous,
while men employed at manual labor re-
quiring no exercise of the brain function,
are almost universally possessed of sound
nervous systems, not easily disturbed by ex-
citing events.
A striking illustration of this principle is
found in the case of Professor George Z.
Coleman, who is professional pianist, and
who was, until within recent years, a drug
iFi. Professor Coleman lives at 1880 Blu
siaan Street, San Francisco. He is well
