Mental Strain on East Trains.

1t has often been urged that man
could not travel at a much greater
speed than go miles an hour, as no
driver could stand the strain upon the
nerves. An experienced engineer has,
however, it is said, declared that when
a man is running his engine at a mile
a minute he has reached the limit OF
mental strain, and an extra half-mile
a minute could not add to his task.
Further, the same authority gives the
reassuring information that, if train
going at the rate of 100 miles an hour
were wrecked, the consequences would
be no worse than if the speed had
been so miles.

Catarrh Poisons.

Catarrh Poisons.
Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions Of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and in
fame every part they come in contact
with. Applications to the places affect
ed by catarrh can do little good save to
soothe or quiet disagreeable symptoms.
Hence it is that gargles, sprays, atom
izers and inhalants only serve as tenn
porary relief. So long as the irritating
secretions of catarrh continue to be
formed so long will the membranes CON

treatment is used.
