Chicago, April 5.-Attention Of roads
in the TranscontinentaI Passenger as
sociation has been called. by Chairman
Charlton, to the fact that the require
ments are not being lived up to in re-
gard to the issue of colonist tickets to
the Pacific coast. Great neglect is being
shown by issuing roads to the provision
that passengers shall be required to
sign the tickets in the presence Of the
ticket agent selling them the same. The
result Of this is that the tickets are be-
ing freely scalped at Colorado comm on
points. at Ogden and at Salt Lake and
market is liable to become badly de-
moralized. Without the signature of
purchasers there is no protection what
ever against the scalping of these tick
cts. Roads are urged by the chairman
to issue peremptory instructions to the
selling agents to issue no tickets with
out the signature Of the purchaser.

The nervous system is the source of
all our bodily powers, mental or physi-
cal.
The brain and spinal cord generate
the power and the nerve hbers convey
the power to every part of the body.
It is the nerves that give the heart
power to beat: it is the nerves that
give the arteries the power to contract,
and thus regulate the flow of blood
through them.
Each artery is provided with an elias
tic or muscular coat, which is capable
of contracting or expanding so as TO
permit more or less blood to pass
through, according to the needs of the
body
When the nerves are paralyzed or
weakened this contractile power of the
blood vessels is wholly or partly de-
stroyed.
This produces congestion. especially
of the mucous membrane lining the va
ricus organs of the body.
When this congestion continues for
s'5me time it is known as chronic ca
tarrh.
The congestion may occur in the mu-

The symptoms of catarrhal nervous

sense Of something awful about to hap

brown specks before the eyes, and
metallic ringing In the ears, sour stom-
ach after eating. with belching of gas,
a feeling Of great weight in the stom-

cold and clammy, general tendency
