NERVOUS EXHAUSTION.
THE MODERN METHOD OF OURING NEURASTHENIA.
Although neurasthenia is a term of quite modern use, and embraces a very great number of symptoms, nervous exhaustion Is a condition which has long been known. Among the commonest symptoms are headache, a sense of pressure within the head, sometimes a feeling of cold on the top of the head, and, at others, as if an iron band were pressing into the brain. These sensations are particularly apt to occur when the sufferer endeavours to concentrate his thoughts for a little while. Again, there is marked indigestion and loss of appetite, with pain in the region of the stomach, heartburn, nausea or vomiting, sleeplessness, a feeling of op pression, shortness of breath or palpita tion of the heart, nervous twitchings of the hands, and an uncertain gait with pains in the back which, happily, do not mean locomotor ataxy any more than the feeling of pressure on the head denotes

All these nervous sonsations are capable of being remarkably improved, and Byen perfectly cured, by means of Sanatogen. The medical evidence on this point is ex- ceedingly large and overwhelmingly con clusive. In fact, no sufferer from neurasthenia, in whatever form the nerv ous exhaustion may manifest itself, need have the least cause for despair or even anxiety if only he will take Sanatogen and keep on with it. No more striking proofing capacity of the cheaper parts of the of its wonderful power can be desired than is set forth by Madame. Sarah Grand, the distinguished novelist, who was incap acitated for work for four years by nervous exhaustion, and after taking it three times a day for four months was as well as she had ever been in her life. Here are Madame Sarah Grand's own words: Sanatogen has done everything for me which it is said to be able to do For eases of nervous debility and exhaus- tion. I began to take it, three times a day, after nearly four years' enforced idle bean from extreme debility and now Kafter only four months) I find myself able to enjoy both work and play again, and also able to do as much of both as I ever did."

But these, after all, are minor considera- tions; the really interesting point about. these artificial expansions and contrac- tions of the human form divine is: What is the motive which prompts them.Why do people want to be suddenly larger or smaller! Why do they suddenly tire of having normal, anatomical shoulders and increase them to several times their na. tural size with an immensity of stiffened puffs? Why do they sometimes like shoes that make them look as if they had only one toe, and at other times like shoes that make them look as if they had seven or eight? Why do they now want to expand into crinolines that can hardly get through a doorway, and then contract into hobble skirta which barely allow them to walk? To these questions there seema answer. It was once, explained to me that fashions in dress bad as a rule their origin, in the deformity of some highly placed
