SHE GAINED THIRTY POUNDS
Mrs. Weber Tells how She Was
Helped when Doctors Failed.
She Let Her Trouble Become Chronic
because She Hesitated to Consult
Her Observation-Disclosures of Re-
rnarkable Case.

TIE natural reluctance which every
woman feels to consult q physician re-
garding troubles peculiar to their sex
caused Mrs c. Weber Of No. 1856 South
Front street, Columbus, Ohio, to let her
illness run on until it became chronic,
and even the excellent doctor whom
she employed could give her no relief
that was permanent. She writes as
follows concerning case that will in
terest hundreds of women and every
husband whose wife is ailng:
Il felt the trouble a long time before
L went to our doctor, perhaps q year or
more. When l did consult him he told
me ! had female trouble and that my
ovares were affected. / felt sharp
pains through my stomach and could
not walk across the room without suf-
1erlhs agonles which l cannot describe.
My head ached so that it fairly
thuinpeo ana at times it seemed that I
would go crazy. My stomach became
so weak That 1t would retain only the
lightest food. Week after week | took
the Doctors medicine, but I continued
to feel worse and worse On several
occasions l was confined to my bed for
week at time. My weight de-
creased to 102 pounds and l seemed a
confirmed invalid

Insanity in England.

1t isn't really likely that the time IS
coming when everybody in England VIII
be insane, but the tendency that way
is something startling. Figures just
published show that the proportion Oh
insane in that country is now one IN
293 of the population, while, AZ years
ago, it was one in 536. 1t may be that
part of this increase is apparent rath-
err than real, as the result OF the IN
creased facilities for caring for the in
sane and the great attention given
these unfortunates by the authorities
in recent years, but that there has been
a marked increase is not to be doubt
ed Although American life is much
more strenuous than that in England
and the corresponding nervous strain
mucb more intense in this country, the
increase of insanity is much less in the
United States than in England.
The annual report of the British
I.imacy Commission has just been is
sued and extracts from this are pub
lished by the Boston Transcript. In it
particular attention is devoted to trac-
ing. as nearly as possible, the causes
of insanity, and it is found that the
principal traceable cause is drink to
which 90 per cent of the male and go
per cent of the female cases are at
tributed. Heredity is charged with "a
per cent. of the female cases and 1873
per cent. of the cases among men.
Lunacy increases more rapidly in the
London is responsible for a very large
proportion of cases. And the most dis
tressing feature of the alarming sta
tistics of insanity's increase is that in
spite of the advances in medical
knowledge and new and rational meth
DDS of treatment there has been no ma
terial advance in the percentage of
cures, while the percentage of new
cases has increased at a tremendous
rate.
State regulations are advocated in
the prevention of the two great causes
of insanity, drink and heredity. DR..
White, who has recently been elected
president of the Psychological
Association, believes that if the state
should pass laws which would make
the selling of impure liquors a crime,
by providing a uniform standard of
spirits for spirit-drinking nation,
there would be diminutiOn in one
cause of insanity. To prevent hered-
ity from exercising it's potent influence,
he would prevent the marriage of those
tainted with insanity. 1t is becoming
more generally recognized in this
country and abroad that physical rath-
er than direct mental causes are re-
sponsible for a great percentage of the
cases of insanity, and so far there has
been too little attention paid to the
matter of prevention.
