Why Women Are Nervous.

The frequent cases OF nervous prostra-
ton or utter collapse of the nervous sys-
TEN under which women ego all to
pieces" as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part OF physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
knownt to cause various forms of nervous
diseases which are readily traced to the
poisons producing them. Further re-
search leads to the belief that alum is a
prevailing cause of so.called nervous
prostraton, for the symptoms it pro-
duces on the nervous system after its
absorption into the blood are very re.
markable indeed. Experiments physio-
logically made upon animals by Orfila,
Professor Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and
Others, show that alum frequently pro-
duces no visible symptoms for many
DAYS after its introduction into the body
Then follow loss Of appetite and other
alimentary disturbances, and finally a
serious prostration OF the whole nervous
system. The most prominent physicians
now believe that nervous prostration"
and many affections of the nerves from
which both men and women suffer are
caused by the continued absorption of
alum into the system.
1t is probable that many medical men
are unaware of the extent to which salts
of alumina may be introduced into the
body, being under the impression that
the use of alum in bread is prohibited.
Alum, however, is still used surrepti-
tiousy to some extent to whiten bread
and very largely in making cheap kinds
OF baking powder. In families where
baking powder is generally used great
care should be exercised to procure only
those brands made from cream of tartar
The alum powders may generally be dis
tinguished by the lower price at which
they are sold. British Medical News.

Not in Soap Trust.
The N. X. Fairbnnls Company Officially
Declare Tint They Will moi 20 in.

Chicago, May 26.-In an interview
today Mr.. James b. Mcmahon, second
vice president of the N. K. Fairbank
Company, speaking officially in behalf of
the company, expressed himself as fol-
lows:
1--WE are not identified in any manner
with the movement to combine the lead
ing soap manufacturers although such
movement is well under way and NAV
eventually materialize. Notwithstand-
ing the conditions in the soap trade are
very badly demoraized, the Fairbank
COMPANY are not seeking or encouraging
any combination of manufacturers as a
means OF Improvement. Soap prices are
relatively the lowest in the history of the
trade. The tallow market has advanced
fully l cent per pound in the past few
months without any corresponding i'm
provement in the selling prices of soaps,
hence the present movement towards
combining interests. Any combination
embracing the principal manufacturers
throughout the country might naturally
and leeitimately be in position to adj
vance soap prices proportionately to the
enhancement of all raw materials, but
beyond this effect on our trade we are
positively not interested or concerned in
any consolidation OF soap interests. We
are encouraging our statesmen in all direc
tons to work with perfect confidence ir
the permanent independence of this com
pany of all Trust" affiliations, and We
are pleased to state that the soap trade
continues verv brisk, because, aside from
the natural effect of the expected comb
nation, the current cost of all raw mate
rails warrants materially higher prices
on soaps, and sensible buyers are antici
patng future requirements to the full
limit of their convenience in carryin,
stocks"
