''Metronome" Cure for Neurasthenia

are always working at express

patient to bed, keep the relatives away, rob
life Of every petty worry, feed guard, doc
tor drug with all the vivifying tonics ever
brewed, but you will never do an atom OF
good until you make that marvellous COM
plicated bit of psychic machinery--the mind
work with rythm; until you make your
patient realize he or she must slacken the
thoughts as he or she is slackening the
muscles.
The easiest illustration Of this lack Of

Therefore, |, Gaby, aided by the truthful
camera, appear before you here in no less
than five distinct variations of that supreme
moment which we have been so gradually
and humanely approaching. VOLTA! Feel
shocked defy you!
In the bare-armed effect, with flmy harem
trousers widely cut out in front nearly to
the knees. the skirt, you will observe, is
retained, but at the smallest possible eX-
pense to the main object in view. Note
how, although it really ends at the hips in
rigid hoop, which accentuates the taper
