While the mother was unpacking an

save him, as it burnt his throat and
stomach SO bad that for two months
after he took tile poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally l took him
into the country and tried new milk,

grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts

He commenced to get tleshy and his
checks like red roses and now he. is
entirely well.
II took him to Matnmoras on visit,
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and would

From Literary Geniuses and Brazil
Fag," by George NJ. Gould, NJ D., in
the May BoolSlovers Magazine: The
so-called brain fag' is a silly myth.
The brain does not tire; intellectual
work does not hurt under normal con-
ditions. 1t is eyestrain that causes all
the brain flag which the newspapers
have been exploring of late. Spencer
learned this lesson and escaped the
tragedy Of NietZsche and Carlyle by
debating his writings, getting others to
do his research work for him, and by
of accurate knowledge. Parkman was
driven to similar eXpedients. But all
the rest groaned and suffered even
while they wrote little notes and postal
cards instead Of letters to their best
friends.
The result in suffering was incalcu1-
able and horrible. There are biogra PHI
les of these people which do not allude
to it; physicians and medical editors
have been known who smiled ironically
at the refrigeration" of vivid imagi-
nations and there are numberless
fools who think they are excused from
all sympathy with a Carlyle or a
Nietzsche. They do not know that the
misery of the pain Of one attack of
lduSci VI SIGN HSiudCIe itlS uOl Deen
equaled except in some medieval or
oriental torture chamber. When for
some profound reason the dominant
aud oldest instinct of the organism
| that for food and nutrition--is violent
| ly reversed, it should be plain even to
the stupidest mind that the deepest
wrong exists and that the very springs
of life are being drained. Add to this
another symptom almost equally ter
rible, intense pain in the brain, the or
gan controlling both character and life
| processes. and what disease could be
| more desperate? How many of our
patients had sick headache it is i'm
| possible to tell, owing to the disclina-
ton, especially in letters and biog-
raphies, to speak of vomiting. Probably
most of them did suffer from it more or
less.

kuropatkin Goes to the Front.

ST. Petersburg. May General ku-
ropatkin has gone TO the front from
Lao Yang to inspect the situation
personally. Troops are being hurried
forward from the Lao Yang and
Mukden line to i position near Feng
Wang Cheng, All Russians wounded
have been sent back towards Lao
Yang. 1t appears evident that Kuro
patkin is preparing to give battle to
Kurolis army if circumstances war
rant. 1t is also believed here that the
japanese plans for concerted action
have been embarrassed by their fail
IRE to block the entrance to Port Ar
thur Tuesday, and a repetition of the
attack there is momentarily expected.
Togo OFF Port Arthur.
Admiral Togo's fleet was sighted OFT
Port Arthur last night and uncontirmed
rumorS say he attacked at daylight
this morning and that fighting is now
in progress there. At least the cutting
of of Port Arthur, if not the fate of
that fortress depends, in the opinion
of the general staff, upon I\uropat-
kin's preventing a junction of the
japanese forces. 1t is understood here
that General Sassalitch has been re-
lieved of his command for disobedience
of orders and that his action is under
Investigation. No further official news
has been received regarding the Rus
sian losses. but General Kashtalinsky' S
estimate of 1000 men is accepted as rep
resenting practically their fun extent.
1t is generally believed here that the
| japanese lost between 5000 and 1000
men. This belief is based upon reports
| of eye witnesses.
