A LONG NERVOUS STORM.

| If you ever watched a dentist draw a
nerve out of a tooth, you will remember
how much it looked like little snip of
wet, white cotton thread. How can SO
contemplate a thing inflict such a
mountain of agony? And why does it
l. do it? Disease you say. All, surely.
IVA simple and obvious answer; yet in
what way does the true nerve fibre,
Wrapped up and coated as it is, like the
wires in a submarine cable, get to be
diseased?
| Yet, somehow, these soft strings do
become fearfully out of order, or our
| friend, Miss Hunt, alluding to the neu-
ralgia from which she once suffered
would not saw Sometimes I was al
most mad with pain" And that is but
one of many forms of torture imposed
on us by the nerves; yet without these
nerves we should be but Jumps of Gay
lacking feeling and power of motion.
| How can we cure these dreadful nerve
pains? The drug shops abound in So
called remedies for them, yet they are
only as breath to cool the air of torrid
summer day. 1.-THE real cause and cure
are among Natures deeper secrets. Can
| we find them?
NEARLY all my lfe," says Miss Hunt
II have suffered from indigestion of an
aggravated kind. felt low, weary and
weak. having little or no energy. My
appetite was variable. At one time
would eat voraciously. and at other
times l could not touch morsel of
! food.
After eating had great distress at
the chest and around the sides. 1 suf-
| fered martyrdom from the horrid pain
in my stomach ana limbs. AS the years
passed my nerves became totally I'M
lstrung. and endured untold misery
from neuralgia. My lips and half my
face were almost dead from this dis
tressing malady."
1.-THE lady will pardon the writer. In
the sense of being objects of use and
pleasure, they were in truth practically
dead; but in another sense they were
horribly alive. as the sky is when 1t is
pierced and rent with the lances of the
Ilightning.]
II consulted" she adds. doctor after
doctor. but in spite of all their medicines
land applications found little or no re-
lief. Sometimes was almost mad with
the pain"
mot a doubt of it. Under such cir
,cumstances the body is poison house
of keen suffering, and people have. not
infrequently, taken their own lives to
escape from 1t. Only acute rheumatism
or govt can be compared with neuralgia
and (please observe) the whole three are
forms of the same thing-results of The
same cause. Hence sufferers from the
former two ailments will be wise also
