PSYCHIC EPILEPSY.
4 DiSordered Nervous Condition
Which Occasionally Terminates
s| In Capital Crimes.


While on the subject of nervous dis
:ases, how many suffer froh psychic
epilepsy" and how many know what il
Is? DR.. Hamilton b. Deadly. director OF
the Pathological institute of the state
of New York is said to have stated
that it will hereafter be possible to as
certain whether man was conscious
of his action when committing a
crime. 1t has been demonstrated that
nerve cell inspired by an impression
received from an emotion would form
a combination with other cells, this be-
coming SO strong that without knowl~
edge of the brain an individual is COM
PEELED by it to an action suggested by
the tirstimpression. AS the brain takes
no part in the act, this condition is not
insanity. The body is like an engine at
full speed without an engineer. The
nerve cells are the beginning and end
of existence. No one knows how many
there are. 1t is supposed that there are
billions. They hold communication
with the muscles by means of tibers,
and form combinations with each other
by processes or fibers. The action of
friend may cause momentary emotion
of hatred instantly repented and for
gotten, but the impression may remain
on nerve cell, whence it is flashed
through the fibrous connection to an
other cell and another, constantly in
creasing in intensity while the brain re-
mains ignorant of what is taking place.
If the person who caused the original
impression appear when the combina-
ton is strong, it may assert itself while
| the brain remains dormant. A crime
may be committed, following the long
forgotten impre ssion of hatred.
This condition is called psychic cpl
| lepsy. At the time the person appears
absolutely sane. He may acknowledge
that he committed the act, but will
probably soon fall asleep. On awaken
ing the brain isagain in control and the
nerves in subsection. The man will
honestly say that he is entirely ignor-
ant of that with which he is charged.
If crime be committed and the au-
thor on examination remembers any of
the circumstances after sleep, he is like
ly to have done the deed voluntarily
Psychic epilepsy was formerly con-
sidered hopeless, but it is now known
that it can be cured by teaching pa
tent to remember. If you are guilty
of an unconscious action which Injuries
you, and your attention is called to it
when it is about to occur again, you
check yourself, remembering that it Is
unwise and what are the results.
Nerve cells are always in action, even
when we sleep. They are connected
with every motion, voluntary or other
wise, with every breath, thought and
sensation. Nervousness is lack of self
control. A small dose of strychnine adj
ministered to person troubled with
sleeplessness will stimulate power of
self-control and induce sleep. A nerv-
Gus condition means lack of energy;
a normal condition of the nerve cells q
normal mentality.

serum Cure for Pneumonia.

Prof. Wasserman, of Berlin, one of
Prof. Koch's ablest pupils, is believed
to have discovered a serum for the cure
of pneumonia. He inoculated rabbits
with pneumcoccus bacillus, which is
generally believed to cause pneumonia,
and with the serum thus gained he
inoculated mice suffering from pneu-
monia. A subsequent series of expert
ments showed it was in the red mar
row of the bones the antitoxin is pro-
duced, and that the red marrow taken
from human corpse dead from pneu-
monia and used as serum will cure mice
infested with that disease. According
ly it is hoped this serum will have the
same satisfactory results in human be-
tngs,

IN FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR &C.
Judge Adams Granted an Injunction
in the Cnstoria Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centaur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel w. Eslinger, of ST.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
1t was stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles II. Fletcher is president, is the
sole manufacturer of "Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those of the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for to restrain the defendants from in
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by at
fidavits. Judge Adams, without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought.
The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar to the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumer able in Chicago, indianapolis,
District Of Columbia, Texas and New
Jersey, il all of which the courts grant
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
drn and Blair. of ST. Louis, and F. H.
Scott, of Chicago, for the complain
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
PENDANT. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
will be adjudged when the case has its
final hearing.
The bottles of the original "Castoria'
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident, Charles H. Fletcher, on the label
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
"Pitcher's Baby Castoria." 1t is said
that criminal proceedings will follow
and that several arrests may be made.

How to Fight EARLY Lice.

1t is task TO get into the poultry

for that purpose, and which is cheap,

the hen until they are entirely changed

used freely. The best way to feed lime
is in the grains, such as wheat, oats,
buskwheat and barley. Glover hay Is
rich in lime, and so are peas and beans.
The action of mineral substances is
mostly mechanical, but while this may
be insufficient, so far as providing
lime is concerned, yet ~ is only the

grit. Many persons have provided
their hens with all the oyster-shells re-
quired, and yet they laid soft-shell
eggs. 1t can be considered, however,
that the difficulty may be weakness of
the eggmaking machinery. An egg
traverses quite distance before it is
surrounded by the she'll, and hens are
subject to many disorders. Overfat
hens, inbred hens and sickly hens are
those usually affected. Farm and Fire

New Pnten, Horse Feed.

The German government is making
an experiment in the feeding of artil-
lery horses by dieting them on patent
food. This is composed of fresh blood
from the slaughter houses, mixed with
sugar refuse and the screenings of bar
ley, wheat and the like. 1t is claimed
that the albumen in the blood, aided by
the other two ingredients, makes the
new forage very strengthening. As the
new production is comparatively cheap,
the cost of maintenance will be sensi-
bly decreased. tt

People having it think their nerves are

Nervous dyspeptics often do not have

stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep-
