Insanitr,. pebt to Medical sc,enc.

Insanity > OeOt 10 heUlcaA SCIENCE
Insanity is now recognized as dis
ease which is the result of some func-
tional or organic disturbance of the
brain or of some injury or malformation
of that organ. Be it said to the ever
lasting credit of medical science that it
has rescued the whole subject of the dis
eases of the brain and nervous system
from the region of myth and superstition
and placed it on a scientific plane along
with the other diseases and injuries TO
which human flesh is heir.
The old lunatic asylums and the filthy
cells of the county jails with all their
horrors where the victims of dethroned
reason used to be confined and tortured
have been abolished and in their place
we now have the modern hospital fo1
the insane, and it stands on the same
footing in every respect as hospital
for diseases of the eye and ear or any
other medical speciality. 1t was not the
churches, but medical science, inspired
by a desire to benefit mankind, which
taught the world that the insane are
our brothers still and that to them is
due the same Christian charity and care
rs to any Others in distress. DIR. John
Girdner in North American Review

In 1910 great convention was held
in Baltimore by the young men of what
was then known as the Wing party fol
the purpose of ratifying the nomination
of General William Henry Harrison
for the presidency. There was no hall
in the city large enough to hold the
crowd of delegates who attended. The
convention accordingly met on the Can
ton race track, and when the great
Wing orator of this state, who was
chairman of the Young Mems national
committee, arose to call the meeting tc
order he was so impressed by the vast
ness of the assemblage before him that
instead of the usual formula he ex-
claimed, 1.-THE nation will please come
to order l"-Baltimo Sun.

Cupid breaks his bow at the sight of q
face full of pimples. Hollow cheeks
sunken eyes, and sallow complexion
will defy his best intentions. Beauty is
more than skin deep. The skin is merely
the surface on which is written in plain
characters the condition of the body. DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
good for the complexion because it makes
the whole body healthy-because it clears
and purifies the blood, makes the digest.
ion strong and clears out impurities of all
kinds. By increasing the ability to as.
simulate nutritious food, and by the infus.
ion of its own ingredients it enriches the
blood and so makes solid healthy flesh.
