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 canses, such as worry, anxiety, over-work and excesses of various kinds. In cases of this kind, so common in this enervating 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 wore before. To this fact may be asoribed more than one half of the break downs which are 50 frequently brought to our notico in thear East. A cup of
