AT THE REST CURES.
THE patients arrive at their various rest cures
with trunks full of their very best frocks. for a
nunIike life of prayer and fasting or one strictly
rrobibitive is not TO be theirs After the first three
servatfon' period for a case. they are amused or
amuse themselves best they can in an Adam

gree and stimuants in still mider one the latter
TO be lessened until stopped altogether, and the
former never permitted beyond certain length OF
time Hours for sleep and outdoor exercise are a
fixed rule that is adhered to without departure IN
any case, until the patient becomes almost an
automaton in the shutting and opening Of eyes and
stretching Of limbs. a simple case of nerves, one

and one that has worked wonders with many, is
the huttermilk regime-it might almost be called
the bItternilk cure The newest theory is that the
majority Of nervous cases arise from disordered
condition of the stomach. and that Until that part
of The anatomy is restored 30 a healthy working
order there is no to attempt &c subdue the
nervousness. As butternilk is one OF the most
easily dgested articles OF food known. it is given
TO keep the organ from working overtime or even
as hard as it would normally. The amount Is IN
creased with increasing strength, as the patient
