One thus afflicted must not ex-
pect to get back to a normal con-
dition in a few days. The cause
was a long time at work and the
cure must be in proportion. First
discover the cause and the rem
edy will be easy. Nervous pros
tration means a breading down
of the nerve centres because OF
lack of nourishment Overwork,
mental or physical; following
typhoid and other fevers; a gen
orally diseased condition. Chronic
indigestion is probably the most
frequent cause of this distressing
condition. In this case a sane
treatment is far more effective
than doping youself with poison
Gus nostrums advertised to cure
nervousness. They are in every
instance, opiates, narcotics, and
such stuff, that may relieve you
temporarily, but they are always
dangerous in many ways. They

AS to the diet, positively shun
tea, coffee, alcoholic drinks, and

Do not eat foods that are hard
to digest. Otherwise the diet may
be ordinary, wholesome foods that
are in every respectable house
hold. Do. not eat much starch
food such as potatoes nor much
salt. Eat eggs, meat that is not
fat, avoid spices and highly sea-
soned made-foods, such as dress
ing, or stuffing. Fish, milk,
bread and butter and good fruit
are strengthening and helpful.
Pork and veal are very indigesti7
bic. Avoid them as you would
tea, coffee, alcohol and tobacco,
and avoid these as you would the
rankest poison that YOU ever
heard Of. Rank poisons mean
sudden death, the other things
enumerated mean lingering death,
and the first is preferable. Il
