his bill of last year providing for a stamp tax on

Physical Declines.

The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness is
always present, a tendency to perspire
aud fatigue easily, ringing in the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before

ness caused by inability to stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri-
ton due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally loss of
appetite and a coated tongue as well as
general IangUor and debility.
