Why Women Are Servoss.
british Medical News.l

british Medical News.
Theirequent cases Of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse OF the nery-
Gus system under which women go
all to pieces" AZ the saying Ia, have
caused much thought and investI-
cation on the part Of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances arc
known to cause various forms 81
nervous diseases which nre readily
traced to the pOlsoDs producing them.
Further research leads to the belief
that alum Is a prevailiDgcause OF 80
called nervous prostration, for the
symptoms II produces on the nerv-
ous system niter its absorption into
the blood are very remarkable In
deed. Experiments physiologically
made upon animals by Orfila, Pro-
fessors Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and
Others, show that alum frequently
produces no visible symptoms for
many days after it's introduction In
TO the body. Then follow loss u
appetite and other allmentary dis.
turbances, and finally n 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.
IL IL probable that many medical
men are unaware Df the extent to
which salts OF alumina may he intro
,duceL into the body, being under the
impression that the use Of alum In
bread IL prohibited. Alum, however,
is still used surreptltiously tn some
extent 10 whlten bread. and very
largely In making cheap kinds Of
baking powder. In families where
baking powder IL generally used,
great care should be exercised to pro-
cure only those brands made from
cream OF tartar. The alum powders
may generally be distinguished by
the lower price at which they are
sold.

Battle Of .Spion Mop.

London. Feb. l.-Accounts Of the
battle OF Spionkop continue tn filter
through. All tell OF the terrible ef-
fects OF the B0er FIRE. The total loss
Of General Buller's movement In ap-
proximated mt 1,5OQ. When re-en-
iOrcements arrived the troops were
most cramped on the top Of Splon-
kop. Preparations were made below
to secure the positions guns were on
the way and engineers had been or
dered up To strengthen the entrench-
ments. Col. Thornycroft was not
aware of this when he ordered the
retirement, and he actually met the
artillery coming up. Gen. W0odgate
was wounded in the afternoon. Even
then he protested that he was all
right and had 10 be held down ON a
stretcher. Ii reported that the Boer
commander AT first insisted on the
release of some OF the Boer prisoners
before he would permit the English
to collect their wounded. A curious
incident In related Of the fighting on
Jan. 20. One Of the Lancssters while
firing from a prone position had bis
head taken clean of by n shell. To
the amazement Of his comrades the
headless trunk quietly rose and stood
right up for few seconds and then
fell over.
