Threshold of Sensation.” "Civilization" is associated with wealth, indoor life, luxury, and sometimes excessive mental exer cise. These are conditions which lead to exaggerated nervaus sen- sibility, and this is a much com- moner feature in those engaged in mental indoor life than in those engaged in an outdoor physical life. "It is not difficult then to under. stand the excessive use of tobacco in sace of these people, since one effect of tobacco-end perhaps its most beneficent effect-is to in- crease the threshold of sensation in those who are supersensative.

When this supersensitiveness reaches extreme limits these peoplo are referred to as neurotic. They are so highly reflex, eo easily re- sponsive to external impressions, that the, asociations set loose by i any ordinary stimulus cause such a complexity of cerebration that the ordinary affairs of life hecome a burden; they are rot phlegmatic and uninteresting, but are often poescased of quick perception, a rapid respoare, and other higher attributes of mind which go to make up bigh breeding and culture,

Higher Faculties.

"Beer, Glorious Bear!" "It is another curious fact that it is just these supersensitive people who drink the caffeine beverages, like tea and coffee, in excess. Since the Seventeenth Century the use of the caffeine beverages has slowly increased, whilst that of beer and allied drinks has slowly diminished. Beer, from ite essential oils and alcobel, is a soothing beverage; it depresses the higher faculties of mind, it does not exaggerate their activity
