WHAT sENlLE DEBILITY IS

! I. L. Nascher. New York, says that
senile debility cannot be prevented.
but its effects can be relieved, the
mental attitude improved and sem.
blance of vigor restored The cause
is waste of muscle, cartilage, bone
and nerve tissue, consequent on i'm.
paired metabolism. That which i'm.
proves the mental condition and In
creases hope will improve the debiL
ity. When ambition and interest in
work are lost ersctness and initia.
tive are also lost. Ageing is In great
part due to mental influences. Mental
stimulation through physical influ.
ences is the natural method OF over.
coming mental depression. Phos.
phorus and arsenic are useful drugs
for this purpose. Hygienio and die
tetic measures to lessen waste are
useful. Food should be nutritious and
such as require little digestive effort.
Stiffness Of the joints Is due to hard.
'ening Of the ligaments and moist heat
followed by massage is of temporary
benefit. The use of cane for sup
port in walking, and a comfortable
armed rocking chair to support the
arms, helps to acquire better posi-
ton. True senile demenua due to
senile changes in the brain is a pro-
gressive enfeeblement. Marked i'm.
