But if. en- the other hand, Tom is IN

This has been the fate of scores of
unfortunate youths OF the New York

test has been tried, and classes are
increasing rapidly.
It is each teachers business to make
a note Of every display of this kind
that she sees and to report it to Dr..
Brann, of the board OF education. DR..
Brann's sole business is testing chill
dren's sanity and classifying them.
"AffectiOn," said DR.. Brann, in a
superintendent proportion, IS a sur
sign of feeble-min0edness. If a chilG
PUSHES wildly into a room and throws
his arms about the teacher, declaring
his most violent love for her. then that
child needs watching. 1t is an I'M
natural performance.
For this reason we have had to segre-
gate the boys and girls of the backward
classes. Boys sometimes love the girls
almost to distraction. In the middle Of
a recitation a boy will jump from his
seat for some u~ndefinable reason and
embrace his pretty little neighbOr girl.
This is really n Of our strongest proofs
Of feeble mindedness.'
Dr.. Brann is not alone in his belief
that O~verafTectiOn and insanity go hand
in hand. The same opinion was ex-
pressed only a few days ago by a Paris
scientist, DR.. Maurice Fleury, who sur
priscd the medical world by his dis
covery" that love was a disease and
should be treated as such.

READS THE BOOK.
"The Road to MELVILLE" Pointed the
Way.

Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the Wis
ftors have all sorts Of complaints, but
it is a subject of remark that the great
majority Of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question Of food is very prominent.
A young man states that he Lad SUI
feTed for nine years from stomach and
bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheum-
atism, and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the wait
er, knowing his condition, suggested
he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which
he did, and found the food agreed with
him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night. different than
he had for years. The perfect diges-
ton Of the food quieted his nervous
system and made sleep possible.
He says: THE neXt morning I was
astonished to find my condition of con-
stipation had disappeared. l could not
believe it true after suffering for so
many years; then I took mor inter-
est in the food, read the little book
The Road to WellviIle.' and started
following the simple directions.

in the last five weeks I have gained

In the winter Of 1902-3 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain," said he, "during which
l was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, I felt as bad as ever. just then
my mother, a wonan eighty years of
age, paid me a visit. She had received

Absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result aud my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds Of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal Of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing Of the
salutary results in MIR. S~chroeppel's case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment."
It is little wonder that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are muchin favor in the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists.
and are equally successful in curing

manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular menstrual
