Vertigo GiLldincss.
A con li,inn Of this kind is IA most nn
pleasant ana annoying one. 1t Is sig.
nal tuat some portion nf the human
BODY is out Of cnndi.ion. The trouble
il generally Will, the stomach or liver
or due to arrangement Of the circulation
More rarely it is caused by diseased
condition of the nervous system. 1t Is
= symptom of tumor of the brain. We
have all experienced the giddiness due
to whirling around in dancing This is
form OF vertigo, MT serious by any
MEANS nor due to any pathological con-
dition, but to temporary disturbance
of the circulation. DO not think that
when such a condition presents Itself
that you are in a serious condition
and that yon have any serious or
fatal disease. Ninety-nine cases ont
of hundred it is due to stomach or liver
trouble. Sometimes a person Will be-
come dizzy due to no stomach or any
other trouble, but due on y to the imagi-
nation. Severe attacks OF coughing Will
sometimes cause an attack to come on.
Persons of an hvsterica temperament
are often troubled this way. 1t is caused
by some fevers, weakness, severe hemor-
rhage in aracima. People that have
been confined to their bed for some time
always become dizzy when they leave
their bed for the first time and attempt
to walk. While they are in bed. many Of
them feel as if they could walk a mile if
they were allowed to get out OF bed.
How quickly they change their minds
when they do get up and how
thankful they are when once again
they are on the flat Of tlielr backs.
MANY persons cannot attain a great
height but on looking down have an in
clination to jump. Many drugs can
cause gddy feeling; opium and it,
alkaloids will do it. 50 also will Bella

due to alcohol. Excessive smoking has
the same result. In cases of this kind
the cyesight is peculiarly affected; lor
example, people see double, things ap-
pear to be crooked, on" may see only Il
portion Of an object. Diseases Of the
middle ear often cause this dizziness
