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.
German author in 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 bad the choicest

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
haustion 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
ease, the prevalence of precocious dental
decay and badness, of nearsightedness and
deafness and premature old age. To coun-

Ii 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- |
curing 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 E. |
Coleman, who is a professional pianist, and |
who was, until within recent years, drug |
gist. Professor Coleman lives at 1880 Blu |
chanan Street, San Francisco. He is well |
known here as pianist, having played at |
some of the most popular music halls in the |
city. Mr.. Coleman is not a man of strong |
frame, and he has been an easy prey to the |
severe, nervous tension of his work at the |
piano. He has had to play continuously for /
several hours during every evening for five |
