Mental %JaundIce,

A new disease, or at least a new
name for an old disease, has been dis
covered by a noted brain specialist OF
London. II is mental jaundice. Wor.

ever the cause, the effect is to make

ours with discomfort and to find con.

unhappiness, to the patient as we'll as

duces yellowness OF skin, which, after

the eye which makes the patient see
everything yellow. Mental tanndice
Is analogous. Its victim sees nothing
in Its true colors or proportions. Ev-
erything is distorted by his diseased

What Is the remedy? The specialist

that the cure rests almost wholly with

NEW TRIAL FOR NAN PATTERSON

The illness Of Edward Drcssier. q

last week, was the cause OF today's
action. When tho Jurors Illness was'
reported at the opening Of court last

made at the opening Of court today,
that he was In no condition to return
TO his duties, left Justice Davis no
alternative but TO discharge the jury.
During the forenoon, when It becama
almost certain that this action would
BIO taken, u report went around the
court building that Miss patterson'si
counsel probably would make a
strong effort to have the defendant
released on bail. Their acceptance Of
tho notice served by tho prosecution,
however, seemed to dispose of that
story.
Following the sudden and unex
pected interruption In the trial, Miss
Patterson Ia said 10 be on the verge
Of nervous collapse. When the ad-
iournment was ordered Saturday She
expressed keen disappointment, She
had been confident, she said. that this
Jury would have acquitted her, and
was lisre that n few days more would
have seen her freedom.
