CZARINA CURED BY THE WAR

1t is no secret that the mind Of
the czarina Of Russia has been seri-
ously affected for many years past.
She was subject to marked form of
melancholia, with other mental peculi-
arities. Physicians who had examined
her feared that she was drifting into
hopeless insanity.
And now, miracle of miracles!
Her mental sickness has been com.
pletely cured by the war. That which
has brought such unspeakable woe
and misery to millions Of people has
brought relief to the once unhappy
czarina.
1t is the serious hard work she
has been doing as a war nurse that
has benefited the czarinas mind.
Coming into close contact with pain
and grim reality, with human patience
and human weakness has lifted her out
Of her life Of morbid self-concentra.
