WOMEN'S NERVES.
Physicians Say They Are Injured by
POisOns Introduced Into
Daily Foods.

The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women "go 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 a prevailing cause of the
so-called nervous prostration, for the
symptoms it produces on the nervous
system after its absorption into the
blood are very remarkable indeed. Ex-
periments physiologically made upon
animals by Orfila, Profs. Hans Mayer,
Paul Seim and others show that alum
frequently produces no visible symp-
toms for many days after its introduc-
tion into the body. Then follow loss
of appetite and other alimentary dis
turbances, and finally serious pros
tration 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 pro
hibited. Alum, however, is still used
surrepttiously to some extent to
whiten bread, and very largely in max
ing cheap kinds of baking powder. In
families where baking powder is gen.
orally used great care should be exer
cised to procure only those brands made
from cream of tartar. The alum pow.
ders may generally be distinguished by
the lower price at which they are sold

Of Three Races with Yale's Crew.
New London, Conn, June Solar
ward won all of the boat races yester-
day-three victories over Yale in three
hours-and the western sky glowed
crimson last evening when the Har-
ward varsity crew pulled over the fin
ish line six and half lengths ahead
of Yale. After eight years of defeat

Harvard's substitute four won from
Yale over two-mile course by six
lengths, in ten minutes and 81 sec

The Harvard crews rowed modif-
cation of the English stroke, coupled
with some features of the stroke pulled
by Wisconsin, and Coach McConville,
of Wisconsin, who saw the race, said:
"lf Harvard's crew had been Mt
Poughkeepsie l am afraid she would
have given us all hustle for first

Yale has greatly modified the Cook
stroke and the boat did not go as it
did when the famous coach was there.
The course was badly policed, boats
getting into the lanes and steamers
kicking up swells after the races had
started. Harvard in the varsity race
very nearly collided with number
of small boats at the finish, and a
heavy swell impeded Yale.
The varsity race was prettily rowed,
but the defeat was crushing. Yale,
however, rowed gamely to the finish
and neither crew showed signs of dis
tress.
The contest between the substitutes
constituting the varsity fours was

mighty and splendid one up to the last
eighth of a mile, when Harvards SUI

advantage and sent the 1902 men OF
