THE BRAIN AND THE HEART.
II Properly Used They Largely Escape
Senile Failure.

II Properly Used They Largely Escape
Senile FaIlure.
In his work on the senile heart Dr.
Balfour tells us that there are two
parts of the human organism, which, if
wisely used, largely escape senile fail
ure," says the Troy Times. These two
are the brain and the heart. Persons
who think have often wondered why
brain workers, great statesmen and
others, should continue to work with
almost unimpaired mental activity and
energy up to period when most OF
the organs and functions of the body
are in condition of advanced senile
decay. There is physiological reason
for this, and DR.. Balfour tells us what
it is. THE normal BRAIN" he affirms,
remains vigorous to the last" and
that ''because it's nutrition is specially
provided for" About middle life or
little later the general arteries of the
body begin to lose their elasticity and to
slowly but surely dilate. They become,
therefore, much less efficient carriers
areas. Bat this is not the case with the
internal cortids, which supply the capil-
Larry OF the nutrient blood to the capil-
larry areas Of the brain. On the contrary,
those large vessels continue to re-
tain their pristine elasticity, so that the
blood pressure remains normally high
er than within the capillary area of
any organ in the body. The cerebral
blood paths being thus kept open, the
brain tissue is kept better nourished
than the other tissues of the body"
Who is there among those who have
reached or passed middle age that will
not be rcjoiced to find such admirable
physiological, warrant for the belief
that the brain may continue to work,
and even to improve, almost to the
very last hour of life2

1 o@is.n notwithstanding they are now in the
city ITSELF there are few lots for sale yet
lat prices corresponding with the "Sound
Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and
his cuckoos which means that kind of
dollar which will buy two dollars worth of
property. These lots are near the new cleo
trio car line which is now in operation. The
lots are in the city and their occupants do
not need to ride into town, but the presence
of electric street cars is popular and adds
market value to the property. Inside of
five years this will be business property.
Buy lot now for residence and when
business crowds you out the rents will sup
