MONEY MADMAN's DEATH.
When the Doctor Placed Him on the Bench He Had Gone on His Long
 Vacation.

Vacation.
 The psychic demand for excite ment to-day causes man to speed un- der the water. through clouds, and over the earth. The ears hear noth- ing but the swish of seas. the roar ing wind and clashing cloud storms, and the chug-chug of exploding gas. The psychic mechanism of the hu- man body has not been able com pletely to adjust itself to these condh tions, and the many men who will not try to live in accordance with these changes drop out of sight-but not before giving the public shock and warning.
 When man of 40 and over shows rapid changes in his character, be- comes reckless in moral act and fin- nanciering, he is to be looked upon with suspicion from the medical point. Such changes generally de- note some real brain disease. tissue changes, and a cure is not probable. Such cases are almost always, hope less. Don't daily moment with Hsuch man. He should at once be removed from any responsible post ton. Don't send him on long trip, thinking he will recover. He will probably show some improve ment that will be deceptive, but the degeneration of tissues goes on and once he returns to his rushing life something to shock the community is certain to happen. Last summer l was on steamer bound from Na- ples to Boston My stateroom com panion was a man of 4S. who had been sent on a trip to rest his ex- hausted nerve cells. He had so dissipated his reserve force that little was left to keep his heart going. It was the same old story; he had waited too long in taking his physi- clans advice, given him some five years previous. He had made the trip out in the same steamer and re- mained on shore only while she got ready for the return trip. He could not shake off his rush habits. Every minute of the time he had used liter ally to scurry through Italy. He came aboard worse off than when he left Boston. However, he had wasted no time in seeing" Italy-he was proud of his achievement.
 The afternoon before we reached the Azores he took me by the arm and 7 said: Doctor, I would give most of my wealth if had your health. I have no one dependent upon me" Well, replied, you get off with me at the Azores and go up to my place in the mountains and I will show you how to get little nervous energy, You have gone too far ever to get back all you have dissipated." But ! L .NC bVOAl NCly SutCCSSlul, DOCCOr he noticed my smile. q started as poor boy in the insurance business. and now I'm almost at the top of the heap; I'm going to get there anyway. Any fellow can do 1t if he will work.
 This is the first vacation I have ever taken. But I've got to get back; it won't do to stay away any longer. Oh but I wish had your strehgth." He had hardly said this before he spas medically grasped my arm, placed the other hand over the region of his heart, and fell into my arms. When placed him on bench he had gone on his long vacation. Every bit of this mans protoplasm had been drawn upon to get wealth. Was he mad? Yes, money-mad; like thou. sands of others. At 1 o'clock the next morning the engines were stopped, and few of us gave him his first and last rest.-Dr. William L Howard in Saturday Evening Post.
