Why Women Are Nervous.

The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women ssgo all to
pieces" as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on
the part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are
well known to cause various forms of
nervous diseases which are readily
traced to the poisons producing them.
Further research leads to the belief
that alum is prevailing cause of So
called nervous prostratiOn, for the
symptoms it produces on the nervous
system after it's absorpt on into the
blood are very remarkable indeed. Ex-
periments physiologically made upon
animals by Orfila, Professors Hans
Mayer, Paul Seim and others, show
that alum frequently produces no
visible symptoms for many days after
its introd uction into the body Then
follow loss of appetite and other ali
mentary disturbances, and finally a
serious prostration of the whole ner-
vous system. The most prominent
physicians now believe that s'nervous
prostration" and many affections of
the nerves from which both men and
women suffer are caused by the con
tinued 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 intro
duced into the body, being under the
impression that the use Of alum in bread
is prohibited. Alum, however, is still
used surreptitiously 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
thew are sold

Sausage r1ade from Horse Flesh

From an article printed in this
mornings Milwaukee Sentinel, we
learn that veterinary surgeon has
been operating a horse-fesh sausage
plant on the west side in that city,
and has carried on quite an extensive
trade IN sausage made from old and
WOrn-Out horses, and it would appear
from information received by the Mil
Waukee health department that some
OF the product had been shipped to
this city.
Meat Inspector F. J. Carney has
been on tour OF investigation, and
was informed that some of the horse
flesh sausage had been shipped to
Watertown. The inspector visited
the establishment one day last week
and found large quantity of fresh
sausage on hand The workmen told
him the sausage was for a neighbor.
On the following day the sausage was
transferred to Tenth and Laurel
streets, but the sausage has since been
taken away, and one of the workmen
admitted it had been shipped to Wa
tertOwn.
SO far no positive proof has been
developed to substantiate these state
ments, but it would not be amiss for
our health officers to give this matter
due consideration

Alfred Meyer.

Our community was very much sur
prised on Friday afternoon by the
announcement that Alfred Meyer had
around as usual during the morning
hours, and met many acquain tances
on the streets, with whom he con-
versed, and betrayed no Indication of
being in other than his ordinary
mood, although it had been known for
some time that he was given to spells
of melancholia, which caused his
friends to fear the worst results while
he was laboring under temporary
derang ement of the mind. Mr.. Meyer
was born in this city in 1858, and his
hrst business venture was as buyer and
shipper of live stock. In this he was
very successful Some fifteen years ago,
he opened a meat market on Second
street, which business he continued
up TO the present time. Mr. Meyer
represented his ward in the city coun-
Gil for many years, and endeavored to
conscientiously discharge whatever
duties were imposed upon him.
His relations with his fellow citizens
were always of friendly character,
and he was much esteemed for neigh
borly kindness. He is survived by
his widow and four children, who
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.
The coroner's jury, which investi
gated the case, decided that the act
was committed while the deceased
was temporarily insane.
The funeral took place Sunday
afternoon at Oak Hill cemetery. The
remains were escorted to the grave by
the members Of the fire department
in uniform. Mayor Mulberger, May
or-elect CRUDE, ex-Mayors Moak and
Rack and members of the council at
tended in body.
