Vertigo IS tho medical Latin for dizz,ncss-
the Doctors simply must have a trade name FOR
things.
In following the ,rail OF head noises the other
day we incidentally tabuiatcd some of tn. causes
Of vertigo, and it occurred to us that now would
be a g""d tim" to answer the thousand or so Of
letters which read like this: please tell me whv
| am dizzy, and suggest treatment"
TWO perfectly familiar causes Of dizziness are
fainting cor cerebral anemia) ANA sunstroke
cerebral congestion.
Inspissatcd ,cruinon. alias hardened wax. in
the car canal or pressing mpon the car drum is
81 fairly common cause of otherwise uncxpiain-
"bic dizziness. This demands an examination
with headlight ami ca. spectrum.
Tobacco excess sometimes produces attacks OF
vertigo. and ALCOHOLIC cAccss scarcely needs
mention.
Dizziness attributable TO stomach trouble is a
doubtful occurrence. In Il series of no less than
SIS cases Of stomach trouil. treated by Ibr.
stockton, Of Eunai". only ~nfty-hvc complained
OF vertigo. aud In only ten OF these did the
dizziness appear to arise from dyspepsia.
Organic o. functional disturbance. Of the inbv-
rintt or internal car is the direct cause of yer,
,igo In the great majority Of cases. Scasickncss
Is supposed 10 10" duo to disturbance Of lymph
circulation in tho semicircular canal Of the in
tcrnal car. Vertigo is a common symptom OF
disease or tuinor Of the ccrcbcllum.
Heart and lung disease. artcriosclerosis and
high blood pressure may cause attacks Of YER
Exoph,hnlmic soi,cr. locomotor ataxi, and
chronic middle car disease arc common causes
also.
There is such q thing ~ phySiologic al dizzi-
ness. For Instance. any normal individual may
feel inomcntarily dizzy when looking down from
:: great hriSht or up to - great height. or when
spinning around rapidly, as III waltHing without
rcvcrHiup. some normal individuals have YER
thro ii they ride backward on u train, or If they
watch moving objects such AS n snowstorm,
waterfall. water flowing under IL bridge or
clouds noating overhead.
In nervous individuals this physiological dir
zinass may be cXaSScratch and unduly dwclt on
until 1t becomes an obscssion. II reminds one
of the "n"ntinS npccka' or spots before tho
eyes which we all have II We look sharp
enough for them. In fact, Il keen student Of
human crcduli,y could get up a list "f symptoms,
all strictly psychological, and persuade about
half the human race that something was wrong.
The treatment of vertigo, we gather from the
data In hand. consists Of the correction of the
| habits. hygiene and health of the patient, and
the symptom seems TO warrant q careful cX-
animation by the family doctor in every Case.

domestic lumber and forest product shipments
which the Eastern railroads were compelled
to place early in the year on account of the
general congestion and car shortage.
The committee is to facilitate, as far as
in the power OF the carriers to do so, the
granting OF special permits for shipments OF
domestic lumber and forest products when
ever transportation conditions permit. This
has been felt by tho railroads to be especially
importan: at this time, in view of the heavy
demand for lumber occasioned by the un-
usually large spring building operations and
the general need of manufacturers The
work OF the committee will simplify negotia-
lions, prevent confusion and afford oppor-
tunity for fuller cooperation between the
railroads and shippers and consignecs. This.
it is hoped. will pave the way for material i'm
provement OF the situation with reference to
lumber shipments.

Blow at Tobacco Interests

\/lRGIN1A may have one cause Of gratin-
cation in the fact that the army appro-
priation bill failed of passug &c at the last
session OF Congress, for tackled as q rider
on that measure was the Chamberlain uni
versal training bill, carrying an attack on
the great tobacco interests OF the state.
The Chamberlain bill links tobacco with
Intoxicating liquor and prohibits the sale OF
either at q military or naval station, IN camu.
cantonnent. club or ship, which Is being
used at the time for the purposes Of training
under this act OF course, all that Senator
Chamberlain intended was TO make this pro-
hibition apply TO the boys called for training.
but the addition OF his measure to the army
appropriation bin and the phrase. under
this act" doubtless would have given a much
wider application.
Grown men should not toe deprived OF their
tobacco, or OF tile opportunity to purchase il i'm

ly true that those who arc old enough 10

country arc old enough To smoke. When the
