BRAIN-FAG!
THIRTY DOLLARS, PER ANNUM.
BRAIN-FAG is an expression used to convey the idea of that condition of the brain where it is tired, worn-cut or broken down from various causes, such as worry, anxiety, over-work and excessos of various kinds. In cases of this kind, so common in this' onorvating climate, the first impulse is to resort to stimulants, which may give temporary roliof, but wherever there is stimulation there is bound to be a reaction, which leaves the sufferers in a far worse condition than they were before. To this fact may be ascribed more than one half of the break down's which are Bo frequently brought to our notice in the Far East. A exp of
