President Cleveland is said to be
much more liberal now than he was in
the early part of his term. He subscribes
money now to nearly everything
that comes along.
The editor of the Cincinnati uommercial
Gazette excuses himself for
not entering the army during "the
late unpleasantness" upon the ground
that he had no military education.
President and Mrs. Cleveland arc
very fond of oatmeal and always eat
it for breakfast. Mr. Cleveland is not i
a lover of tobacco and seldom smokes
more than one cigar a day, and this
one immediately after dinner.

The gold medal for excellence in

It is certainly more in order than
"presenting the Supreme Court."
A decision was recently rendered
by the Superior Gonrt of Massachusetts
which is of timely interest. The
L Court holds that a mau who permits a
fox to be killed by hounds is guilty of
cruelty to animals. We also have an
Act which makes cruelty to animals a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine and
imprisonment. But we rather suspect
that our Courts (a case arising) would
decline to loiiow me -uassacauscus

down here, and his unsavory rcpntarg?"
tion would be certain to follow him

Pkobablt the most important scientific
endorsement yet given to the
Pasteur method for preventing hydrophobia
is that reported from England.
English scientists and doctors are
notoriously conservative and give no
f countenance to daring innovations
until forced to such a step by overwhelming
influences. The men who
compose the English committee for
investigating this method arc well
Si; known in the world of science and
their testimony is of the highest value.
The uncompromising approval which
they give to the great jbrenchman's
theories will doubtless lead to a revival
of interest on the subject throughout
the civilized world.
The business of gulling simpleminded
Americans into the belief that
they are heirs of vast estates in England
having become less remunerative
of late the plan of swindle has been
reversed. Gullible Britishers are now
being entertained with tales to the
effect that they are legal owners of
vast estates on this side of the water.
I- anrt patents oi me pre-revoiutionary
period furnish a fertile source
for these misrepresentations. The
Countess of Lindsay, it is said, has
been persuaded that she owns more or
less of Albany, X. Y., and is rather of
the opinion that she will take possession

Lamar in the interior department in
the event that the latter is appointed
to fill the vacancy on the Snpreme
bench caused by the death of Mr. Justice
"Wood. A more suitable selection
of a successor to Mr. Lamar could
hardly be made. Senator Butler is
one of the ablest of Southern Senators.
Naturally endowed with splendid
talents he has also the advantage
of many years of experience in public
life. His elevation to the Cabinet will
give satisfaction to the whole country,

[ Mi:. Cleveland could not go to
i Gettysburg, but ho sent a letter in
which he said:
The friendly assault there to be
made will be resistless, because inspired
by American chivalry, and its
result will be glorious, because conquered
hearts will be its trophies of
i success. Thereafter this battlefield
| will be consecrated by a victory which
shall presage the end of the bitterness
of strife, the exposure of the insinceri- ;
ty which conceals hatred by profes- i
sions of kindness, the condemnation of;
frenzied anneals to passion for un
| worthy purposes and the beating down
! of all that stands in the way of the des;
tiny of our united country.
f While those who fought and who
I have so ranch to forgive lead in the
pleasant ways of peace, how wicked
appears the trade in sectional hate and i
the betrayal of patriotic sentiment!
The soldiers who fought the war
have settled issues upon a basis of permanent
peace, but the politicians, Paul
Jones-like, "arejust beginning to fight."
The President's condemnation of "their
appeals to passion for unworthy purposes"
is appropriate and timely in its
severity. There is an ilk of politicians
in this country whose stock in trade
consists solely in the bitter memories
of the civil war! The shallow hypocrites
lie in the national cemeteries.
An Old Trick.
When the Tories want to pass a
piece of special coercive legislation
they set the outrage mill to grinding,
they provoke a collision between the
police and the populace and then a
partisan press pictures the whole

| trick is so often resorted to over there
that we almost look upon Ireland as a
country afflicted with a sort of chronic
turbulence. It is needless to say that
there is a large percentage of exaggeration
in this business.
Against these misrepresentaiions the
Irish hierarchy which met at Mag
worth recently lias undertaken to
throw the weight of its authority in
the following resolutions:
That, in common with our lay fellow
countrymen, we view with deep
indignation this new attempt to despoil
our country of her constitutional
rights and liberties and to place her at
the mercy of unfriendly and irresponsible
government officials.
That speaking with intimate knowledge
of our respective dioceses and
provinces, we confidently assert that,
with the deplorable exception of a few
notorious uisrricis ui very iiumuu e-vtent,
Ireland is singularly free not only
from grave crime ai:d outrage, but
from ordinary offenses against the
law: and in this assertion we arc fully
sustained by the charge delivered at
the recent assizes by her Majesty's
judgesThai
therefore we feel called upon
to characterize as utterly unfounded
the accusation of general lawlessness
and criminality constantly made
against our people and systematically
propagated -for party purposes bv the

International Hospitality.
When Englishmen of political importance
or literary eminence visit
this country they arc "wined and
dined" after the orthordox American
fashion, and when prominent Americans
visit England they arc lionized in
London.?Onr hospitality is returned.
Mr. Blaine is now being made the
recipient of many attentions m JLondon.
The correspondent of the Xew
York World, writing from that city,
says:
It might cf coarse have been expected
that the leading- Liberals like
Mr. Gladstone and Lord Eosebery
would show attentions to Mr. Blaine;
but the courtesies of the leading Tory
houses like that of the Duke of St.
Albans, of the Lord of Carnarvon, of
Lady Burdett-Coutts, of Lady Jersey
and of many others of the same type
have, it' possible, been still more
marked. The Lord Mayor also sent
an invitation to his jubilee ball to the
Blaine family. Although Mr. and
Mrs. Blaine have not been presented
at court, yet on Wednesday they were
invited to the Queen's garden party at
Buckingham Palace, which was the
most brilliant royal -entertainment
known in London since the death of
Prince Albert in 1SG1.
But these courtcsies have not been
confined to individuals or to private
houses. lie has been eleected honorary
member of several of the principal
clubs of London, such as the
Devonshire, the Reform, the A the
DKum, and upon several occasions tie
has been invited to the Savage.
This is enough to make John Sherman

Some Timely sussestions.
A man was murdered a few days
ago in Spartanburg county and the
body lay, a ghastly sight, for a day
and a half in the burning sun. A
mssenger was sent to town for the
coroncr; that official was at his home
thirteon miles further on, and no trial
justice would act in the case. The
coroner of that county, it seems, has
been insisting on his rights under the
law, which provides that if trial justices
act as coroner within fifteen
miles of the coroner's residence they
shall receive no compensation.
The case leads our contemporary,
the Herald, to suggest that 'the office
r\? /?ArAnor cV?r?r>lr1 Via oKnKcTirkrl onr? fhr*
duties thereof devolved altogether on ;
trial justices. We think the' surges- ;
tiou a good one. The public has heard ,
more than once of the shocking neglect
_ c i "u~ ^ L'A,iA rr*L^
ox ueau uuuius in mis ciau;. jluo
proposed amendment would cover the difficulty
exactly. The coroners may
all be capable and efficient officers,
but they can't be all over the county ,
at the same time, nor will the per- <
qnisites of the office enable them j
to reside at the conntv seat.
Agaiu, it seems that the murderer ! \
in this case was permitted to run at j ^
large for a week, but was promptly
arrested and committed as soon as a
reward of $150 had been offered.
It is further suggested by our con- <
temporary, therefore, that a law shcnld
be passed enacting that a reward of :
$100 be paid out of the revenue of the J
sheriff's office for the arrest of any i
man guilty of homicide whom the
sheriff had failed to arrest within
forty-eight hours.
Good again; only we think it should
be provided that the money be refunded
to the sheriff in every- case
where lie could show that he had used
due diligence to no purpose. The
escape of a murderer is really a very
serious matter, and the law should
pjovide every precaution to insure
capture in cases of homicide. An
extra incentive to the officer to do his
duty in such cases could not be much
amiss.*
Professional.
We have been reliably informed that
one newspaper in the State employs
negro compositors in its office. Well,
it has a right to. But what does the
press of the State think of this move
in the direction of cheap labor and of
crowding young white men out of a
field of industry peculiarly suited to
them? The Observer thinks it a degradation
of an honorable business; and
so far as we are concerned, speaking
for the Observer alone, we will have
nothing to do with any newspaper
edited by a white man and set by
negroes. * We say this in no unkind
spirit, but as an humble protest against
what we regard as a lowering of a
profession that needs above all things
to be kept on a high plane. The newspaper
referred to is not published in
JNewDcrry county.? jyeivuerry uuserver.
To the foregoing our attention has
been especially directed. It comes to
us, too, as news. "We know nothing
of the newspaper referred to. But
wc do not share, in this matter, the
opiuions of the Observer. "Wc fail to
see how the employment of negro
compositors can possibly degrade the
vocation of a printer. Negroes are
now freely adnai tted to the bar. All
who can may come. The mcdical
profession is likewise open to them.
If they have the requisite intelligence
aod can gain the confidence of the
people thep may practice as physicians.
In fact, we had not heard until now
that they are to be proscribed in any
particular business. The idea that
they should be is based entirely on a
misapprehension of fact. The Caucasian
type forms the elite of the
human race. Nature has left here
indubitable marks of superiority.
They may be disclosed in a moment
by the knife of the anatomist. It is
altogether a question of brain development.
This does not mean that by
some trick or intrigue this Caucasian
will rise above his fellows, but the
real unmistakable meaning is, that in
any open, free and fair field of competition
he will come out ahead. In
every case of brain versus muscle
which has yet ceme to trial, justice has
rendered judgment for the plaintiff.
Let the negro, therefore, avail himself
of every faculty that God has
given him. It is a matter of common

at the door of the drawing-room. It
cannot be drawn at the door of the
work-shop. Since all must live by
the sweat of the brow "the right to
labor' is indeed the head and front,
the all in all, of the innate, inalienable
and imprescriptible rights of man.
State Eijjhts in 3Iainc<
The drink traffic in Maine has precipitated
a question of State rights,
which is a good thing. Stato rights,
as against federal usurpation, will soon
be the issue of issues as before 18G0,
not over slave labor, but over a myriad
of matters and things, including taxation
and expenditure. If the Democracy
and the Democratic party are not
to vindicate the rights of each State as
against encroaching federal power,
there are thousands of Democratic
voters who will not see a reason for
following longer the Democratic flag.
If the Democratic leaders consent to
oil/\ttt fl-?n -novfrr { r\ d n cnmnlicf
vfcllV/ VT liiV |7U1 C r VV WVViAJbV wv w?v>A*v v
party or a federalist party of the John
Adams type, then party uproar and
party chaos will come in fact.
The question in Maine grows out of
the same clause in the Constitution as
has been used by a majority of the
Supreme Court and by Congress to
nationalize railways, somewhat as Mr.
Geonje proposes to nationalize land.
Congress has power :tto regulate commerce
with foreign nations and among
the several States." Congress taxes
wine and wmsKey on importation,
which tax jMr. George will abolish
when he taxes all land up to its rental
value. There will be no impeding the
drink traffic when Mr. George and
Dr. McGlynn get their hands on the
crank of government.
A good many years ago the Supreme
Court said that when Congress had
permitted an article to be imported
and sold, a State couldn't tax that
article in the custom house, or when
out of the custom house if kept in the
original package, because such a State
tax would be State interference with
foreign commerce, un tue doctrine
of that decision a Maine importer of
wine and brandy says Maine can't
prevent him from selling the wine and
brandy in the packages as imported.
'What the Supreme Court at "Washington,
as now constituted, will say of
that question "no fellow can find out.7'
If one were to guess from what the
court has recently said about interState
railways,- and inter-State com
merce, ana inter-state peuaiers, one
would say that the Maine importer
has a good case, if he kept the original
package intact. The doctrine can
be, has been, and probably will be, by
Republican federal judges, pushed to
ibsurb conclusions.
For ourselves we would prefer that
Maine be flooded with good, pure
sviue and spirits rather than that the
JefFersonian doctrince of State rights
Democracy be weakened or adnlterxted.
Our sympathies are, in that
sense, rather with the State of Maine ;
than with the importer of brandy and
*in. Federalism and socialism are i
more dangerous than free rum, if it be
pure and good,?JV*. Y. Star.

A. TRIP TO TEXAS.
KL'MliEK EIGHT.
Messrs. Editors: In our ramblings
around "Waco we noticed the good
order which prevailed everywhere,
and knowing the natural depravity ot
man, we looked, but in vain, for the
cause. We wondered if ifc were possible
that city so densely populated, and
in Texas at that, conld be governed
without the aid of a poliee fo rce. Upon
inquiry we were pointed out; a police_

learned that the force were all mounted,
and, though in blue uniform, we
bad failed to notice them, as they kept
riding around and mingled a!l the time
with the crowd.
By invitation we accompanied friend
Taylor into the jail, wither be went at
the request of one of the unfortunate
inmates who wished to engage his professional
skill in his defense. For the
benefit of my lawyer friends I will
here say that Mr. T. agreed to undertake
his case, provided the sum of fifty
dollars was secured to him by mortgage
or otherwise. The nature of the
oiiense, however, 1 uia not jearn.
Upon entering the building, the first
tiling that struck us was the number
of persons, both whiieand black, confined
therein. The prisoners were all
in a substantial iron cage made of slats
about lour inches wide, with openings
about the same width betweeu. This
cage filled up the entire room, with
the exception of a space some four feet
wide entire around it, and was divided
into compartments of eight or ten feet
square. We halted in fror t 'bne of
-these, and asked the darkiesuasido
what they had been doing ? "Crap
shooting," was the ansjver, which left
us 110 wiser than we were bei'orsr. "We j
afterwards found out that "crap shooturoe

chance with live corns 01" dice, at
which any number could play, it being
only necessary for each one to put his
nickel or dime in the pot, which pot
became the property of the "c ne lucky
enough to make the highest nhrow.
Newspaper readers are already
aware that the great question now
agitating Texas is that of prohibition.
The discussion of this question was at
a white heat here as well as elsewhere,
and almost daily "pro" and "anti"
would have a set-to, both on the street
and through the press. The young
ladies had taken a decided sti.nd in the
matter, and it was woe to the young
manJwho dared call 011 any one of them
with the least smell of the ardent upon
his r>erson.
We are on a tour of sight-seeing,
ancl so bid adieu to Waco and the
friends who there contributed so
much to our enjopment, and joard the
train on what is called the narrow
gauge road, but which is in reality a
standard gauge, and travel almost due
north. For fifteen or twenty miles we
go through a wooded country or the
post oaks. These oaks lack the magestic
appearance of the oaks at home,
being large enough in body, but low
in height, with limbs near the g.iound
which gives them a somewhat dwarfish
look. The inhabitants seemed
to be engaged in cutting fire-wood or
telegraph poles, which latter were all
Cedars. The dwellings were either
very small shanties or simply tents, as
these people arc of migratory habits
and go frnm one job of wood-cutting
to another as their fancy or interests
dictates. Getting through ;he post
oaks we again strike the prairie, which
is not unlike what we have already attempted
to describe. At Corsicana,
which is the point of intersection be
IWL'CU liiu narrow ^ua^c tiuu niu
Houston & Texas Central, wo have a
short wait. Here we indulge in the
luxury of a shine by one of the many
little boot-blacks, and engage in conversation
with a farmer of the neighborhood.
This gentleman carried on
his arm a coat, not of oilcloth, but
oiled cloth, which is called a slicker,
and without which no Texan thinks he
is equipped for a day's ride from home,
lie was very enthusiastic about the
beauties and advantages of his section,
rpnrpspiitino- it as the varv best Dlace
in the very "best State in the Union or
anywhere else. Ilad we not made a
previous arrangement we would have
accepted his invitation and scone with
him to see the country around his
home.* AVe have our heads set in another
direction, and purchase a ticket
which has printed 011 it the fa:*e which
on all these roads is three cen:s a mile
for first r.lass. On this Central road
the railroad land, which fifty feet on
either side, is all fenced in. The conductor
replied to my question why
this was done, that it was choaper to
fence the road than pay for ail the
cows they would kill. "Before this
fence was* built," said he, "I l ave at a
watering place frequently rur into a
batch of four or five hundred cattle,
UilU WOIUU LillliK XUJ SUJX IDllUUiltC Xli
getting through without killing more
than ten or twelve of them; besides, a
drove of cattie is an ugly thine; to run
into, causing us more run-offs and
sinash-ups than any any other cause."

He arranged to give us a deer hunt, '

OUR EXCHANGES.
(Aiken Recorder.)
The couviction of Jacob Sharp affords
another striking illustration of
the fact that however lightly human
life may be esteemed by American
juries, the rights of property are carefully
guarded. As our country grows ,
older- human life will be better protected,
and in the course of a few
more generations murder will cease to
be so agreeable a pastime as it amounts
to at present. Property is safe everywhere
in America, but it is without
doubt the murderer's pai*adise.
(Newberry Herald and Neves.)
Some lime ago a citizen living below
Prosperity had one of his horses, and
we believe the only one, taken from
his stable in the night time and shot.
So far nothing has been done to capture
the guilty party or parties. The
gentleman who lost his horse is a poor
man and unable to offer a reward.
This we consider a most heinous
offense and a dastardly and cowardly
act and one that should be severely
dealt with. The man who is low
; enough to commit such depredations
on property is not too good to take
life and perform the acts of the midnight
assassin.
Now as we have said, the gentleman
who had his horse thus killed is a poor
man and unable to spend anything in
the prosecution of the case, although
he is entitled, under the law, to the
protection of bis life and property,
and we think the Governor of this
State should offer a, reward for the
detection of the parties who are guilty
of this offense.
(Columbia Record.)
Speaker Carlisle is on a visit to
Washington, to take part in a conferj
I ence having for its object the framing
of measures to be introduced in the
next Congress, looking to a reduction
of taxation. It is stated that Mr.
Carlisle will confer with the President,
the Secretary of the Treasury, and a
nnmber of Congressmen, including
Mr. Randall. A Washington dispatch,
in reference to this conference,
says "it is very evident to the most
casual observer that the tariff reformers
are going to have a tough time of
it in their efforts to get any legislation
next session that at all meets the views
of that wing of the party. It is quite
as evident that the R&udall people are
going to have just as tough a time to
get what they want. Tnal tbev are
iust as far aoart as thev were in the
last Congress is quite evident, and it
seems quite probable that the struggle
over the question will be quite as exciting
as was that of last winter."
It is certainly important that something
be done to adjust the differences

questions, and that something should

The possibilities of South Carolina, |
and in fact the whole South, is almost
incalculable, and it is singular that we ;
should send a pound of our cotton two j

four thousand miles to European mills '

both directions, besides paying large ,
profits to merchants and mill owners,
in addition to an onerous tariff in one J
case and to an extra profit quite equal j
to such tariff in the other. We have some
good mills now in operation, but J
we want more. We have many good j
mill sites with an abundance of water (

operation of factories of all kinds, but ,
more especially to cotton factories, as ,
we have an abundance of cotton, but j
cattle and sheep raising could be made t
profitable, and the slightest attention is j
rewarded by a plentiful of poultry. (
Fish and game are also aounaant. me (
choicest fruits and vegetables can be ,
raised with but little care. Here
seems to be an inviting lield for the
surplus capital of our people. The establishment
of a few large cotton mills
in each county orthe State would bring
in a valuable class of emmig rants by
thousands, create a home market for
meat and grain, save large sums by ,
cheapening clothing materials, and iii- '
crease our local trade generally. A
few examples would soon be followed
by others, until, in a few years, the
main part of our cotton crop would
be made up at home, and ship loads of
it would be exported annually to
Northern and European markets, instead
of being manufactured there and
shipped to us.
The TFallialln Trouble.
(Keo-icee Courier.)
The libel posted in onr neigbor
town, "West Union, is the basest and
most mendacious publication ever put
on paper. It is a stain on civilization
and common decency, which all should
seek to wipe out. In. the number and
unimpeachable character of the parties
assailed, male and female, it has no
parallel in the history of slander in
any country. Il is a disgrace to our
community, to our county, to our
State, nay to humanity, which can
only be wiped out by the discovery
and" punishment of the! parties guilty,
whoever they be. The burning is a
mere matter of property, except in so
far as it is the offspring ;of the same
demoniac spirit which concocted and
hatched the libel. Tins far, apart
from the crime of the burning, the
discovery of the libelous parties becomes
doubly important. I
"* (*
The facts so far developed in the r
libel and burning cases here show c
there are now and has been for two or I
more years a band of levellers, social- ?
ists, anarchists, nihilist-;, or whatever
you may call them, who, regardless of "
life, property or character, are determined
to have sway. Shall we sit or
stand idly by and permit such a den
of devils in human shape to live in q
our midst? Such a course would only

doing-, that greater evils than those "
sustained may be avoided. If the ?
parties in jail be the guilty ones, let us n
labor to fix guilt upon them beyond a c
peradventure. If they be innocent it
is justice to them and the community t<
to discover the guilty parties and release
the innocent This is our plain f
duty, for no one can feel secure in
property or in fair fame until these
crimes have been ferretted out.
It is firmly fixed in the public mind ^
that the parties who wrote or procured -r

applied the torch in person or through P
others to the law offices in "Walballa.
The eyidence to this point grows

i
\ \
stronger each day, and may now be j
said to be reasonably complete. Here j
are two oftenses, one otlecting the
foundation of our social system, the
other the rights of property, traced
rationally to" the same parties. Should i
not the State, the town and individ
nals not only labor through volunteer
agents to find the guilty parties, but
also procure the agency of a detective
to discover and convict them? Who
will say nay? We have suffered in
property, but arc willing to contribute
to this end, for no one ca.i tell, if!
these grave crimes go unpunished, on i

brown of their enemies, gray of their
countries, black of their pleasures,
and green of themselves.
The violet eye is a woman's eye, of
which the main characteristics are
affection and purity, chivalric belief,
and limited or deficient intellectuality.
Speaking popularly, it may be said
that eyes are brown, blue, gray, hazel,
green, or of no color at all. The last
three varieties, however, are based on
misnomer.

It suggests constancy and truth, steadfastness,
simplicity, courage, purpose.
It is a man's eye, with its moderation
and self-respect?honest in the glance
it gives you, if at the same time cold
and phlegmatic.
Blue-gray eyes, radiated from within
with brown and bronze ^streaks, are
chiefly found among the mixed races,
and especially the English and the
Americans. They always suggest a
good deal of strength of character,
generally a sense of mischief and
trickiness, and sometimes that humorous
cruelty which belongs to the
Anglo-Saxon race.
The blue is certainly the type with
the greatest number "of varieties. It
is a color that illustrates pre-eminent-,

affection, a yielding to the wishes of
others, a sympathy with small sufferings,
that measure of vanity without
which no woman can be entirely attractive,
and that self-surrender which
goes far to persuade a man that he is a
demi-god because his wife believes it
and tells him so. ? Ex.

Those Flags.
The suggestion of a Star correspondent
to make final disposition of the
battle-flags by depositing them under
a monnment of reconciliation has
already borne fruit. The Vidette, a
military paper published in Washington,
takes up the idea and strongly
advocates it.
jjnt tne suggestion 01 a separate
edifice is obviously unnecessary. The
monument to General Graut in this
city is the proper place of deposit for
the colors" carried during the war.
General Grant was an apostle of harmony
and magnanimity toward the
vanquished. The terms which he
proffered at Appomattox were the
charter of reconciliation. We are
quite sure that if the question of final
disposal of the flags were submitted
to the veterans of the war, they would,
by an immense majority, approve the
suggestion made in th3 Siar, that if
they are to be preserve'd they should
be placed in the Grant memorial
building.
Let those who desire to remove this I
question of the Hags forever from the I
torum of public discussion, and preserve
the memories of our conflict
only as bonds of Union, help the Star
erect a_ternple of peace worthy of the
Sfreat general who will repose there
and of the cordiality of patriotic
brotherhood his words enforced.?

' The alarming disease of tins
country is ncr\ oiis debility and
prostration. It goes under
many names Lut it is essentially
the same complaint
Hospitals and private institutions
for nervous patients are
crowded. The average cf life
in tfip TTnitwl States is de
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, professional
and public men are so
[ frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of suicides,
committed without apparent
reason, or under so-called
"depression of spirits," are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and prosperity.
They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's usefulness
and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they ? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless ana lawless
eating and drinking; the intense
mental and physical strain <
arising from our mad race after
money, position and mtiuence;
the fears and struggles of poverty;
the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; andj briefly,
our; desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hour's
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's c:mdle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we i
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
iisJb, JHcrvous JJuspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion. Assimilation
and Xii-iition. Ilealthy
digestion being impeded or destroyed,
the whole body, nerves
included, is literally stcuued;
even when there is no emaciation
to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:?headache
in the mominer: a nersistent
~ ^ / +L
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakeiulness:
loss of appetite and disgust with
food; loss of mental enei'gy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anxiety*

reason; eructations; bad
breath; foul raucous on the
teem; occasional jriuumess y
palpitation of the heart; saliowness
of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.

of the habits and customs
which cause the disease
