Others* im agine enemies among their neighbors, lM*come jealous without cause, a prey to fears thayare unfounded. Others again are delirious, see creatures and hear voices that do not really exist. But before there is such loss of contact with the real world as can he certified as insanity there are sigrfi from which the wi.se may take warn ings: dependence on drink to avoid discomfort; perpetual need fpr a “stimulant”; a desire to escape from the difficulties of life; broken sleep disturbed by dreams; tremoy and dif- MISS MILDRED WHITTEN, "tal- (‘r.U'd daughter of Dr. and Mi-s.
