BRAIN-FAG!
BRAIN-FAG is an expression used to convey the idea of that condition of the brain where it is tired, worn-out or broken down from various causes, such as worry, 'anxiety, over-work and excesses of various kinds. In case of this king, so common in this enorvating climate, the first impulse is to resort to stimulants, which may give temporary relief but wherever there is stimulation there is bound to be a reaction, which leaves the sufferers in a far worse condition than they were boforo. To this fast may be ascribed more than one half of the break downs which are so frequently brought to our notice in the Far East. A cup of
