4 TONGUE-REST CURE.
A Doctor of the London Titled Set
is Healing All Feminine
Ills with 1t.

'"They know they do, but they are not
able to help it. While feel laxative,
Twill tell you about it.
"Talking is the cause of most all wom-
ans trouble. A woman should not wear
out as soon as a man. She has softer
nature and lives an easier life, but she
is a prey to nerves, and nerves play on
her system.
Emma Calve, the singer, sent for her
doctor the first winter she was IN New
| York L never felt SO bad in my lie,
and / think | am going to break down,
said she.
"'Where do you ache?' asked he.
81 ache all over, said she. Every
! spot on me and inside of me feels worse
than the other spot, and | think | am
| going to die.
Nonsense said he. You have talked
too much You have been interviewed
and visited and feted and made to sing
encores. You have used your throat
and your nerves of speech until they
are limp. You take my advice and you
will get WELL
Keep Quiet.
'Then this physician, who told me this
case, and which | have no hesitancy in
mentioning, as it was topic of CONVERSE
! ton for the lady and her friends, told
Nine Calve to lie in bed with the shades
drawn all day until time to go to the
| opera.
. But how shall I see my friends:'
asked she.
''See them in bed said he, it will
keep you quiet. A woman lying in bed
is not supposed to talk much. They
will do the talking for you. You listen.
Take the old adage, A still tongue MAX
eth wise head and adopt it to your
self. A still tongue maketn a well body
will be true in your case
"Calve did it and got well. You have
not read reports of her illness this win
ter.
"Bernhardt has always suffered from
| a mania of over conversation. She is an
| animated rattle-boX. At her home in
Paris she is said to be the life of every
/ salon. If she isn't careful this same life
will be the death Of her. She chatters,
! chatters. chatters. and it is nothing but
her wonderful native health that keeps
her up TO it. This much for Bernhardt
! though, she puts no thought in her talk
Are you afraid of getting fat"
asked the reporter of her.
If | should get fat, what would be-
come of Sara ! replied she quickly. She
chatters of this one and that one. never
knowing this minute what she said the
other minute.
ELLEN Terry had touch of talking too
much, and nearly came down with nery
Gus prostration. She went to her Tower
/ cottage, WinchelSea, to lie in bed all
summer. Her doctor. one of those fad
| ish English physicians who make a sDe-
| cialty Of royal ladies' and other ills. told
| her to swing hammock under the trees
| Put on q loose robe, said he. and get
in that hammock and swing daily one
| hour three times a day. Don't stop
swinging. and don't see anybody
"'Queer advice said Terry to her
daughter, but she followed it. After she
| got well and was no longer the high
| strung, OverWOrked woman of spring.
! her doctor told her that the hammock
was all farce. simply a ruSe to keep
her from talking three hours a day.
Irving's Quiet Hour.
Irving has never suffered from this
over-conversation fever. He has always
been quiet man. In his house, Grafton
street, London, he retires each afternoon
! to room filled with busts of Browning
Keats, Siddons. Forrest, Tennyson, and
] SO on through the silent gallery. Here
silent as they, he sits and gazes upon
/ them, none speaking a word. That rests
! Irving and keeps the nerves of his
tongue free. His tongue never runs
away with him after that quiet hour
Lillian Russell suffers from talking
too much. and in a painful way. 1t af-
fects her nervous system. Too much
! talk plays upon her nerve centers and
throws her out. In other words, it
makes her cross. That is the secret Of
most cross women. They talk until they
are nervous, and nervousness affects the
| disposition. Stop them from talking for
a week and they are gOOd-natured wom-
en-. Try it with the next cross woman
you meet
These London physicians who doctor
the ladies of the court, titled women and
women of society in London and Paris,
do wonderful things. don't see that
they are wiser than the rest Of us, but
they have more freedom. When we say
to New York woman. Now you rest,
keep quiet, don't see anybody, be calm
she laughs and says, why, certainly,
doctor, | do that all the time. / am
keeping very quiet
''Then the doctor says: Remain at
home today, drive in your carriage this
afternoon, but by an unfrequented road
Impossible, exclaims my lady, 'inl-
possible. Why, doctor, this afternoon
/ join the coaching parade, and tonight
we dine at Larchmont and come home
for a dance at KS. Tomorrow l will
rest
THAT means that she has not looked
at her social programme for the next
day. When she does glance at it she
will see that there is something that
she absolutely must do.
Let the London doctor advise the
Duchess Of Marlborough to go to Carls-
bad tor perfect quiet. and she VIII 60

The Cure.
''To give this talk practical point. and
to pass beyond the items which these
ladies would tell you themselves, I can
say that we are highly recommending
the tongue-rest cure for nervous trou-
bles of spring. Do we have course of
treatment? Yes, decidedly so.
"A woman under our care rests in the
morning and breakfasts alone with the
newspaper After breakfast she walks
in her roof garden or looks out Of the
window. Later she may shop, but alone.
Luncheon she can take with friends.
After lunch, at the hour Of the day
when a woman's nerves begin to give
