AMERICAN NERVOUSNESS.
No More Of the Disease Here There Else
where


where
The belief In the greater nervousness
Of the American seems very widespread.
The late Dr. Beard OF New York, was
one of the first TO describe nervous
prostration, and to give II its medical
uame of neurasthenia, so that II has
often been spoken OF a. "the American
disease" In his work on "American
Nervousness" he treats chiefly of the
causes of the nervousness, and It's symp-
toms. accepting almost as an axiom the
staiement that Americans are more ner
vous than any other race, and that there
is vastly greater amount of nervous
diseases In this country than in Europe.
lie admits, however, that the severer
forms OF organic nervous disease, such
a. looomotor ataxia and appoplexy are
probably less frequent, the increase be-
ing In the so-called functional condition,
neurasihenia, hysteria aud the like. II
Is probable that the majority of educated
people not physicians In this country
would admit without a murmur that as
people we are peculiarly subject to
snervons diseases
Althoagh. an ! have said. the stalls
tics arc not conclusive, nevertheless
such statistics As we have, and the con-
illusions drawn from various general
Impressions, absolutely contradict this
belief II Is only since the war of 1874
fhat the American has acquired his rep |
utatlon for restless energy; before that
nc was denounced as INDECENT and slug |
gish Up to the period of the civil war
he was also denounced as physically
degenerate, inferior In bulk, strength
and endurance to his English cousin.
Ghe civil war put an end to such talk.
No armies endured more than ours in
the field no people endured more than
those who STAYED behind waiting and
helping
The record of the first Kentucky
brigade IN the confederate army, almost
continuously in action or on the march
for hundred days In 1864 retreating
from their homes, with the hope Of sue
cess steadily fading away; f,i4o strong
at the beginning, suffering $500 fatal
or hospital wounds, with only fifty left
yet mastering 24o at the
che end, with less than ten desertions-
such a record has never been surpassed.
These men were of the purest Ameri-
can stock.
At about the same time DR.. Brown
sequard found that the American mann
mails survived injuries that were inevi-
lahl, fatal to the European, and our
surgeons found a surprising percentage
Df recovery from severe gunshot
wounds, greater probably than had ever
been observed In Europe. DIR. b. A.

Georgia now has more manufactures

southern industries during the past 90

The old wheelhorse, l.. tB. Andrews v
travelling through ahe eastern part OF the
state and has been strikingly impressed
with the growth of the sentiment for Me-
kinley and sound money. In a letter from
Eilensburg he says:
The situation In Eastern Washington
Is not by any means so discouraging to
the Republican forces ma has been pur.
posely sought to be impressed upon the
public mind by the enemies of the Re-
publican party. The speakers sent out to
talk Repubiicaniam In this portion OF thu
state have been doing good work all along
the line. Especially so has been the work
OF Hon. Ben Butterworth one OF the
wheei-horses of Repubiicanism In this ma
ton, the able defender OF the policy OF
protection and sound money upon which
the party Is marching TO a sure and glori-
Gus victory.
THE meeting at Walia Waila was .
complete success. MIR Butterworth spoke
an hour and half In the open air mt fha
court house park on October II to mi,i.
iitude that could cniy be estimated by
thousands. In the evening, after a most
magnificent parade made up Of cnthg.
siastic Republicans 10 the number Of f.sde
or more citizens of Waiia Waila and Co.
luuA5ia counties, when there were loo
torches In line. Mr.. Butterworth addressed
an audience that packed the opera house
10 it's fullest capacity In a speech OF two
hours or more. In which he presented ths
issues OF the campaign In most effect
I've and mastery manner. An overflow
meeting was held on the street in front
Or the Mckinley headquarters. which was
addressed by Mr.. Thompson. OF Waila
Wa,ia: Mr.. Rice. OF centraiia. and myself
Last evening had the pleasure OF
again listening TO this able son OF Ohio
at North Yakima. where the size OF tho
audience was measured only by the ea-
pacliy Of thu opera house. At Waila
Waila and at North Yakima the friends of
free silver were out In large numbers 10

both places. IA we'll as at Spokane. many
votes were changed from Bryan and silver

travelling for ten days fn the Eastern por.
ton OF the state ard getting information
from tho most reliable sources. that our
cause is rapidly improving. and that ths
election in this portion Of the state viii
he a surprise TO many. Meanwhile. we
