Via Preserves Health.
From Leslie's Weekly.


An eminent American, who, while in
Paris, consulted famous physician of
that city to ascertain If there was any
remedy for badness, was told by the doc
tor that the best thing to do was to wear
toupee or wig. The American said that
he always regarded the wearing OF a
wig as evidence of mans vanity, but
he was quite surprised when the French
physician replied: you are quite mis-
taken. The wearing of a wig is regarded
by those who have carefully studied the
subject of health as a beneficent safe
guard. A man who, from any cause, has
lost a good part of his hair usually loses
it some time after middle life. when his
vitality begins to ebb. You must bear in
mind that the scalp is filled with myriads
of blood vessels, and when it is exposed
without the covering that nature intended
TO give it, a man is apt to suffer from
sudden and acute attacks of cold, catarrh
and influenza. | have often prescribed the
wearing of a toupee or wig to a patient
who has come to me complaining of his
susceptibility to colds, and, In nine cases
out of ten, after the wig has been worn,
the susceptibility has ceased at once.
Many cases of deafness l have traced to
colds constantly recurring in those who
have lost their hair, and who have pro-
vided no substitute for natures covering.
Some cases of chronic sore throat are
traceable to the same cause. In some
instances, patients suffering from tuber-
culosis of the lungs in the early stages
have found decided protection from colds

Prior TO her marriage TO Mr. Wiman. in 1850. she
was Miss Dalbraith. of Toronto. Ontario in
which city she was born in 1929.
Mrs. Wiman had been IN delicate health for sew
erai years. At the time of the death OF her hus-
bVd. in February. 1901. it was feared that she
would not long outlIve him. and she was greatly
broken by the loss OF her son. Harre Dun Wiman
last August. The immediate cause of her death
was neuralgia. Her illness had lasted about a
month.
Mrs. Wiman was the mother OF five children
three sons and two daughters. Those who survive
her are William and Louis Wiman, Mrs Norman
Walker and Mrs. Jacob Cram. The funeral services
Will be held at Rosebank Saturday afternoon at

Her husband. Erastus Wiman. was a native of
Canada, who after wide newspaper experience
became and was for a long time general manager

ton with the late Robert Garrett president of the

Mr.. CARROTS sudden loss Of mind in the midst Of
period of inflated values and before the reaIiza-
ton Of their combined projects, caused such dis
turbance OF their plans that Mr.. Wimans resources
were crippled. In 1899 he made last effort to re-
trieve his fortune by organizing a corporation to
enter the field against r. C. Dun & Co, from

immense estates of his illustrous ancestor, nclud

home Of his family. Indeed, he is of the rich
est mobiles of the Austrian Empire, and it is in
conceivable that he should not have long

order to save the name from ignomy. The only
explanation that be invoked is that the Wald-

bitterness OF their family differences and for their
animosity one toward the other.
