Nov 1t is that way with nerve dis

true In cases of real disease. 1t is still
more true In cases where the trouble is
purely imaginary at base. You would
be surprised to know how much suffer-

mary. Even medical students often
run through a perfect gamut of disease
just through nerve impressions of cases

the papers, for the effect of such reports

Few Americans will pay any attention

slider he has done his duty by himself,

and medicine. Finally. his nerves give
way and he collapses. AS soon as he is
patched up he starts in upon the old

The shoeing of horses is very differ

blacksmith. The Chinese leads the
horse up to a framework composed Of
two posts and a horizontal beam, then
with a long rope attached to the ami
mails head he runs around the other
post and thus binds him between the
two. The rope is then brought around
the body and over the beam to which
both body and head are firmly secured,
an tdhe horse is thus unable to move
siewdays or lie down. The smith then
puts a small stool under the foot to be
shod and thus trims the foot and drives
the shoe.

says:
While it is not yet possible to print
accurate figures of failures during the
full year 1900, a preliminary statement
may be made with approximate final
results. Detailed results have been

this number 2.30O were IN Manufacture

number and s170,0O0,0 900 in amount. This
shows a large increase over the preced-
ing year, when all failures numbered

must not be forgotten that 1899 was a
year of exception. and while trade was
then stimulated by rising prices. the
succeeding year had to bear the bitter
fruit of reaction. Despite these disas-

conditions that brought such a phe-
