MEDICINAL.
Headache.
This distressing malady is caused
by a run-down state of the health,
and is often a forerunner of other
and more dangerous diseases.
Brown's
Sron Bitters
cures headache by removing the
cause of it; and this is the way it
does it.
It purifies and enriches the blood,
quickens the action of the kidneys,
the liver and the bowels, and gently
and pleasantly stimulates the diges?
tive organs, and in fact thoroughly
renovates and tones up the whole
system?and you have no more
headache. And besides it Is pleasant
to take, and will not stain the teeth
nor cause constipation.
Is this not better than dosing
yourself with disagreeable and dan?
gerous drugs, which at the best
can do no lasting good?
Don't be deceived by imitations. See the
crossed red lines on the wrapper.

INTEMPERANCE AND THE CI?
GARETTE HABIT.
The anuual. report of Superintendent
Blackford, of the western State asylum
at Staunton, deals with the affairs of
the hospital in an able way. It appears
that in this, the sixty-eighth, year of
the hospital's existence, the admissions
during the year were 115 males and 92
females; a total of 207, up to October
1st. These, together with those pre?
viously admitted, make up 737 inmates
on October 1st. The recoveries noted
are 122 (48 males and 74 females), with
a total of 12 improved. The deaths
were 2S males and 23 females, while
the number of patients discharged was
189?males, 91, and 98 females. Whole
number treated during the year, 926.
The superintendent reiterates his
views expressed in a former report as
to the matter of separate asylums for
"dangerous lunatics" "harmless imbe?
ciles," and "idiots," as suggested by
ex-Governor McKinney, arguiDg that
such separation is impracticable and
unwise. The great necessity existing
in Virginia for a training school for
feeble-minded children is spoken of,
and the establishment of such schools
is strongly suggested.
Under the title, "Intemperance and
the Cigarette Habit," Dr. Blackford
says: "Alcoholic insanity is now a well
recognized form of mental alienation.
Alcohol has a peculiar affinity for the
brain and nervous system. No man
can drink alcohol habitually to excess
without suffering mental impairment;
it matters not how strongly he may be
endowed mentally. The brightest
mind becomes cloudy and dazed, and
the moral sense blunted; he loses that
keenness of perception and power of
sustained effort so necessary to success
in life; and, if persisted in, the degen?
erative process goes on until it ends in
moral and mental imbecility. While
it is quite true that the direct evil effects
of the alcohol habit can be overestima?
ted, it is just as certain that it is| ea?y
to underestimate the indirect evils that
are the outcome of intemperance.
"To the same extent the same could
be said of the pernicious 'cigarette
smoking habit,' now so prevalent
among atsd undermining the moral,
physical and mental health of the youth
of our country, during the period of
youth and development, when the brain
is tender and plaslic, and easily aflect
ed by the noxious inhalations passing
through and around the nerve centres.
The youth's nervous organization
is apt to become more shat?
tered by the cigarette habit than
if he were addicted to alcohol
stimulant during that period, ai i will
surely be the first to give way, and, of
course, the first to suffer, with its
strain on the nervous system. The
youth at college w?o burns the mid
uight oil is to be commended for his in?
dustry, but too often he burns out his
brains at the same time. With the ac?
companying cigarette the process of
waste and injury to the uervous system
may be greater thau the repair, and
mental bankruptcy ie the result."
The fierce struggle for social ad?
vancement and hasty acquirement of
riches, and overstudy in schools and
colleges are noted by Dr. Blackford as
prominent factors in producing mental
troubles. It is disclosed that there are
in this institution 100 epileptics, a
class generally regarded as the bete
noir of insane hospitals, on account of
homicidal impulses. It is noted as a
melancholy fact that this class is in?
creasing in Virginia. There are 120,
000 in the United States. Dr. Black?
ford suggests that for the present the
better plan for this State is to erect
separate buildings of a cheap character
for this cla?s of afflicted persons.
The Superintendent from this report
evidently is not a believer in woman's
rights, which means men's wrongs, for
he says: "The cornerstone upon which
all true and national life is built is the
home. There- man gives her undis?
puted sway in that realm; she has no
competition; man ungrudgingly recog?
nizes her superiority; but when she
descends from that lofty position to
compete with men, and demands her
rights, then she must abandon her pre?
rogative of privilege willingly accorded
to her, and mu3t be content with her
rights." Jame3 Weir, jr., is quoted
from September American Naturalist in
his article on "Effects of Female Suf?
frage on Prosterity," as saying that "a
majority of female suffragists are de?
generates; that they are viragints, or
women who have masculine traits, and
that moral and physical degeneration of
the race will inevitably follow the suc?
cess of the movement; that while the
effects of degeneration are slow in mak?
ing their appearance, yet they are ex?
ceedingly certain."
The permanent improvements of the
past fiscal year were the buildiDg of a
new laundry and a new steam plant,
costing $16,397, the former to be open?
ed in a few days. The total per capita
cost per patient for every expense and
charge is*$137 this year, as opposed to
$145 the year before.
Irving W. Larimore, physical direct?
or of Y. M. C. A., Des Moines, Iowa,
says he can conscientiously recommend
Chamberlain's Pain Balm to athletes,
gymDasts, bicyclists, foot ball players
and the profession in general for
bruises, sprains and dislocation; also for
soreness and stiffness of the muscles.
When applied before the parts become
swollen it will effect a cure in one half
the time usually required. For sale by
