TOXIC INSANITY
By H. Addington Bruce

TN HAT serious mental disease may at times
be caused by intestinal self-9oisoning
is fact that is being more and more
impressed upon the medical profession.
Indeed, cases are now on record which sug-
gest that even when mental disorder would
seem to be of wholly psychic origin it may be
necessary to take the possibility of self-pOi-
soning into account in order to effect cure.
Impressively illustrative is the experience of
a certain young woman afflicted with suicidal
melanchOlia.
This young woman had been working hard
at college and had been worrying about her
work. Shortly before examination time she
became moody and irritable, and began to
suffer from sleeplessness.
So stubborn did the sleeplessness become
that she sought medical advice. A diagno-
sis of nervous breakdown was made and she
was ordered to cease all study and take a
complete rest
Rest did not bring the expected relief. She
continued to sleep badly-despite the use of
sleep-producing drugs-and developed delu-
sional ideas These took the form of delu-
sions of persecution, leading to a profound
melancholia.
Soon it became evident that the unfortu-
nate young woman designed doing away with
herself Her father was advised to commit
her, for her own safety, to an institution for
the insane.
At this point chance brought him into con-
tact with specialist who believed that in
testlnal self-polsoning might be at the bot
tom OF the deplorable mental condition.
I'VE KNOW" he explained, in effect, that
worry has disturbing influence on all the
bodily processes. 1t is conceivable that in
your daughters case it may have caused an
lntestlnaI weakness that has poisoned her
"hole system, including the brain.
This might be aggravated by the hyp-
n 4h she mas been taking, with the result
that all her tissues are doubly laden with
poIson. Let us put her on an intensive treat
ment that will eliminate whatever noisons
may be present" P-'oD'
The course proposed was adopted, with .
surprising outcome. To summarize in the
SPECIALISTS own words:
Wlthn forty-eight hours the entire as.

The last remark of Mr.. Hollings-

question of the prestige of our river
beyond all shadow of question. If
Zorn, probably the greatest etcher of

with Rembrandt's, approves of it's

"HERE is no timelier or more service

day than that which has to do with
preserving food crops. What the packing plant

It was the lack of just such facilities that

imposed not because j. was inherently more

BUTLER COMING TO
WIN FROM EARLHAM

Preparations for the Butler basket
ball game will be made by Earlham
basketballers in the Coliseum Wednes-
day afternoon. No workout was held
Tuesday and Wednesdays condition
ing process promises to be full Of
snap.
Butler is coming to Richmond hop
ing to win. Butler bases it's claims
upon the defeat suffered by Earlham
at the hands Of Rose Poly. Butler
lost to the Engineers by the same
score.
That Rose Poly was extremely for
tunate in playing Earlham when the
Quakers were of form, can be proved
from the fact that Wabash defeated
Rose Poly 40 to % Tuesday night. The
entire second string team finished the
game for Wabash and at no period
of play was their lead in danger. The
Earlham-Wabash game resulted in "a
to Is, and the only Wabash player to
leave the game was Adams. He was
taken out on account of injuries. The
two results are all that are needed to
tell the strength Of the two basket
ball teams.
Lawler may not be able to play in
the Butler game, as he Is still sore
and bruised. 1t is thought he is suf-
! fering from cracked rib.

Frank Baker.

John Franklin Baker, affectionately
referred to as Home Run Baker, now
finds himself up against the PROPOSE
ton OF hitting an awful clip as home
run clouter, or taking a back seat as
the circuit smash artist of the team
on which he plays.
Baker stepped into the limelight
as home run king back in the days
when the Athletics were winning
world pennants. Since his return to
big league baseball after n brief re-
tirement, he has been the slugger su-
preme of he New York Yankees. Last
year he was one of the three men in
the American league, exclusive Of
Babe Ruth, who poled out ten home
runs. Sisler of the Browns, and Wal
ker Of the Athletics were the other
two.
But with the signing of Babe Ruth,
home run wonder Of the ages, Baker
| faces the task of outshining in hitting
a mauler who grabbed off twenty
nine circuit swats last season. as
many as Baker, Sisler and Walker got,
lacking one wallop.
AS we all know Baker, this situa-
ton won't worry him. He will give
the team his best and let the records
take care of themselves.

Acid Stomach Makes
Millions Old Before
Their Time

The famous scientist, Prof Metchnikofi, de.
clared that people generally become decrepit-
feeble, aged-years and years before their time
that person ought to live we'll over a hum
dred years. He proved that the toxic poieons
which form in the intestines and cause auto
intoxication had more to do with shortening life
sna a any. shnysning e,se: Clean out these poisons
should not live, hale, hearty, strong and vigor-
GUS, hundred years or more. Such is the doc
trine as taught by the noted Metchnikoff.
What causes those toxic poisons-where do
they come from-how do they get into the in
testinal tract? Science gives us AN answer in
one word-Acid-Stomach.
Acid Stomach causes food fermentation;
and it is this mass of partially digested sour,
fermenting food passing through the intestines
that creates toxic poisons that are absorbed
into the blood and carried into every part of
the system, causing long train of diseases and
making millions of men and women feeble,
haggard and old looking before their time when
by right they should be strong, healthy, in the
prime of life.
Common sense tells US that in order to stop
those toxic poisons forming in the intestines,
you must get rid of the Acid-Stomach; just as
