WHEN THE MIND FAILS
MAN WHO SUFFERED CALLS AT-
TENTION TO WRONG METHODS.
! Prevailing Attitude Toward Insanity
Ridiculous, If Not Disgusting, He
Declares—Mental Disorders
Should Be Looked To.
! "In every line of mental research
j it is admitted that prevention is more
i Important than cure—with the excep-
[ tion of mental diseases,” says Clifford
Whittingham Beers, who created a
sensation a few years ago when, un-
der the title A Mind That Found It-
self, he published a record of his years
of insanity and of his awakening from
mental death. "Our scientific atti-
tude toward dlleases of the mind is
truly amazing. We consider them as
something unavoidable. We watch
stupidly the disease running its
: course from a slight disturbance ol
mental processes until the first via
i lent manifestations of insanity.
"If a man presents the slightest
| symptoms of pneumonia or even
measles he receives Immediate treat-
ment of some kind. On the othei
hand, a patient who is suffering from
disease of the mind, the most threat
ening calamity of life, must be so fai
advanced in the disease and so dis-
ordered in action or in speech as tc
satisfy a lay tribunal of the necessity
of justification of the forcible depriva-
tion of his liberty, must be told thal
he is ‘insane,’ must be ‘adjudged in-
sane’ and ‘committed’ by a court to ar
institution for the insane before he
can receive the treatment best adapt
ed to the restoration of his health.
"The public should be convinced
that insanity Is a disease like any
other disease; people must be taught
to seek intelligent advice promptly
whenever something ‘seems to be the
matter with their nerves,’ instead ol
concealing their fears for mere shame
“Had I, for instance, at the age ol
eighteen, when I began to worry my-
self into a state of depression, had
access to advice and information, and
had I, as a result of an established
and widespread interest in mental
J hygiene, sought such advice as a mat-
ter of course, as persons threatened
| with tuberculosis now seek the help
and advice they need, I am confident
| that I should not have suffered the
1 affliction of mental disorder. Tjy6ugh
I took medicine for ‘nerves,’ I did not
| find the remedy 1 needed, which was
a verbal corrective for thought and
fears which were to prove my tem-
porary undoing.
"it may take twme time before a
sick man is no more ashamed of call-
ing on a physician for incipient insan-
ity than for a cold in his head, but
let us hope that time will arrive even-
tually. A campaign of education is
sorely needed to dispel the supersti-
tions still prevalent in the public
mind as to the cause of insanity."

Apple Tree Holds Record.
An apple tree growing in the Walla
Walla Valley, Washington, holds the
fruit-yield record It produced nearly
200 bushels of apples last season, thus
breaking its own record of 126*4 boxes
in 1907, the highest production, we
are assured, from a single tree known
anywhere in the world. This tree bore
70 boxes in 1906, 42 boxes in 1908 and
45 boxes In 1909. More than 500 bftr
rels of fruit have been pieked from
It since it name into bearing in the
spring of 1871.
The tree was grown without Irri-
gation from a seeifling planted in 1866
I It is forty-two feet in height and its
| branches spread tifty-seven feet from
! tip to tip. The trunk is seven feet in
; circumference at the base and meas-
I ures six feet six inches Just below the
| first limb, which is four feet from the
ground and measures four feet seven
| inches. The tree is sound and healthy
j despite the fuct that it has produced
i fruit every season for nearly forty
years —New York Pre‘>'1
PROOF
Mrs. Rudolph Niscke, Oconto,Wis., writes:—“ I have used Sloan’s
Liniment for toothache and neuralgia in the head where nothing else would
help me and I would not be without the Liniment in the house."
SLOANS
LINIMENT
is also good for rheumatism, sore throat, chest pains and sprains.
Pains All Cone
Mrs. C. M. Dowker, of Johannesburg, Mich.,
writes;—“I wish to say your Liniment is the best
medicine in the world. It has cured me of
neuralgia; "those pains have all gone and I
can truly say your Liniment did cure me.”
Pain All Gone
Mr. J. R. Swinger, of 547 So. 12th St.,
Louisville, Ky., writes:—“I suffered with
quite a severe neuralgic headache for four
months without any relief. I used your
Liniment for two or three nights and I
haven’t suffered with my head since. I have
found many quick reliefs from pain by the
use of Sloan’s Liniment and believe it to be
the best Liniment on the market to-day. I
can recommend it for what it did for me."
