PSYCHASTHENIA.
A Physician Says This Is One of the
Causes of Panics. 4
‘ The panics that start in Wal
often begin in the morbid financial
fears of overstrained braius- psychas-
thenia. Psychasthenia makes panics,
writes Dr Clarence Hughes in the
Alienist and Neurologist.
“We once knew a mind overburden
all, brain overstrained man suddenly
conclude he was coming to want and
would not be able to pay his taxes
when his income was $10,000 annual-
•y lie milked his own cow, he har-
nessed his own horse and cured for It
(sold the others), dismissed all his ,
servants and his wire’s and had lu
somnia, but finally recovered complete-
ly. Others with less Income or more
fall through brain overtax Into the
tame morbid waytif feellug and think-
ing.
“One kind of insanold is a man
who under mental stress of any kind 1
acts as though he were insane, but has
not the disease of real insanity to ex-
cuse his actions.
“He hovers on the verge, but does
not pass over into real mental aberra-
tion as he appears to be going. He
does and says such odd, unreasonable
and annoying things that his friends
often wish he would pass into genuine
Insanity, so that he might be properly
and lawfully restrained or that he
might happily extinguish himself by
suicide. Sometimes he does commit
suicide or become really insane, and
we then know where to place him."

pipe in the corner, for support.
"Grandpa," cried the eager brother,
"who was it killed Caesar—Cassius or

"Waal,” replied the grandfather, sud-

pipe from his mouth. "It war one or

“Now, you may be right there, too,”
ventured the involuntary vindicator
after fidgeting in his chair. "Come t'-

At this the young girl’s eyes flashed.

he will win by a majority of something

if they are disappointed it will not be
attributed to over confidence in their

the same thing in claiming the earth

hard stiff feeling of the soles. Every step is an ef-

a difference when you put on a par of "Dorothy
