Under what conditions IL travel of
benefit In the treatment of mental
diseases? This question was under
discussion at a recent meeting of the
Medico- Psychological association. Dr.
Savage. physician in charge of mem
tai disease at Guys, held that 10
move a patient suffering from Sc
we're mental disorder, either from .
sea voyage or other form of travel
ing, was very inadvisabie. The fresh
surroundings very often caused weari-
ness where the need was for absolute
rest. On the other hand, he recog-
nized that sea voyage might do
good to one suffering from melan-
cholla due to love affair or to .
failure at examination. Sir. Hermann
Weber agreed with DIR. Savage's opin-
ion. and referred TO the case of .
coachman who had become mentally
affected. IL was believed that he
might recover if he were seated on
a four-in-hand. The experiment was
tried and succeeded. Dr. Robert
Jones took the view that sea voyages
do not always benefit convalescents.
He said he knew of case of mem
tally afflicted patient who was or
dered voyage. When Marseilles was
reached the patient had a delusion
that his attendant was insane, and de-
clined TO go further with him--Lon-
don Chronicle.

Children often cry, not from pain,
but from hunger, although fed abund-
autly. The trouble arises from inan-
ition: their food is not assimilated,
but dev0ured, by worms. A few
doses OF Whiti's Cream Vermifuge
will destroy the worms, when the
children will begin to thrive at once.

CURIOUS cUcKOOs.

The cuckoo Is generally known only
Is bird with a very monotonous note :
a continuous cry of "cuckoo, cuckoo
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo IS known as bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who. instead of
making success of their own, seek TO
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor II is so with those limitations of
DIR. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman " makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman. who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knorTl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DR.. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting ply
sician to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
n. " For over thirty years DIR. Pierce
has made a speciality of the treatment
of diseases peculiar TO women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women. ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter l. held as strictly phi
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.

Prescription makes Weak
Women Strong and Sick
