WHY WOMEN ARE NERVOUS.

Tue frequent cases Of nervous prostra-
lion or utter collapse Of the nervous
system under which women "go sil 70
pieces, - the saying IL, have caused
much thought aud investigation on the
part OF physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are we'll
known TO cause various forms Of nervous
diseases which are readily traced to the
poisons producing them. Further re-
search leads 10 the belief ths, alum 10 =
prevailing cause Of so-caIled nervous
pi iostration, for the hssympioms t produces
on the nervous system sitsr its sbsorp-
tion into the blood are very remarkable
indeed. Experiments pbyslolog'cally
made upon animals by Orfila, Professors
Hans Mayer, Paul Ssin and others, show
that alum frequently produces NO visible
symptoms for many days alter its intro.
duction into the body. Then follow loss
Of appetite and other slimsntary dis.
turbsncss, aud fnallya serious prostra-
ton Of the whole nervous System. The
most prominent physicians now believe
that "nervous prostratlon" and many af.
fections Of the nervss from which both
men aud women suffer are caused by the
continued absorption Of alum into the
system.
II is probable that many medical men
are unaware Of the extent To which salts
Of slumina may bc introduced INTO the
body, being under the impression that
the uss Of alum in bread 10 prohibited.
Alum, howsvsr,is still used surreptitious.

very largely in making cheap kinds Of

Ing powder 10 generally used great care
should be exercised to procure only those
brands made from cream OF tartar. The

INQUIRIES were recently made by
the state department in regard to the
grave of John Paul Jones, the great
naval hero of revolutionary days, who
died in Paris; July 10, 1882. He was
buried there by the French govern
ment, but it appears that the pl resent
location OF his grave is not known
One thing established by the inquiries
is that John Paul Jones WAS not bur-
led in the cemetery where the remains
OF Lafayette lie, as has been supposed
by some people, and it is intimated
that the bones OF this distinguished
American patriot were finally thrown
into the potters fell.
