A Ladder Breaks His Fall.
While working on the roof Of a three.
story building ON Detroit street, John
Rogers, of No. 1876 Alabama street,
Cleveland, O., lost his balance and fell
sixty feet to the ground.
He was drawing up gravel and while
leaniag over pulling on the guy rope, it
broke and he fell. About 80 feet from
the sidewalk he struck ladder which
stood against the building. This broke
the force of his fall. But he fell upon
the pavement head foremost and his Eel.
low workmen picked him up uncon.
scious.
The ambulance was summoned and he
was taken to st. John S hospital where
it was fully ten hours before he regained
consciousness. No bones were broken
nor did he sustain any internal injuries
as was first feared. To q reporter he

The nervous system may be deranged
from any of a number of causes. A
physical shock. as was the case with Mr..
Rogers, or mental shock may bring it
on. More common causes are worry,
over-work, excitement, lack Of rest and
dissipation. Whatever the exciting
cause the results are largely tho same
