terrible paresis,
an INCURABLE DIBEA3E THAT
BLIGHTS THE BRAIN.
Alarmingly Rapid Growth of the Mala
dy—No Other Land So Cursed by it
as This—The Causes That Induce It—
Highly Interesting Discussion of It
by the Eminent Expert, Dr. A. McL.
Hamilton.
New York, Dec. 8. — Few weeks go by
now in w ich the community is not startled
by the intelligence that some man of promi
nence has suddenly become insane. Some
act of sudden and unreasonable violence or
the demonstration ot some astounding delu
sion compels attention to his condition. Then,
friends and relatives remember that he has
been for some time “acting queer ly” and
the question, “hjw long has his mind been
affected f' is one that awakens much excited
interest, specially among those having busi
ness relations with him, or concerned in
his estate. ‘ Rest and quiet willspeedlly re
store him,” say his friends, and so physi
cians profess to hope. He is secluded in an
asylum, or in some private rural retreat.
The next that is heard of him is that ex
perts in cerebral affections have pronounced
his disease “Paresis.” Paresi>£ The hprror
of the age; a slow death in lifo; a malady as
incurable and inevitably fatal as leprosy—
that is Paresis.
Perchance, after a time, the victim mav
seem to rally, to regain his mental contr >l,
and hopeful friends will doubt the c >rrect
ness of the physicians’ diagnosis. But in a
faw months the reactions comes, darker and
darker the cloud settles down upon the
afflicted mind, more and more feeble grows
the body, slowly and surely life fades out.
How pjany instances of this fatal progres
sion lfirghi; be cited, among men not only
locally prominent, but of national reputa
tion ns playwrights, actors mere :ants and
financiers, were it desirable to call the pain
ful roil! At least three, whose names are
known all over the laud, are now in or near
New York, awaiting he certain end and
there i4 riftfran insane asylum in the country
in which t .91*0 are not numerous Cases,of per
sons of minor individual importance,
dc> >'ee:i t<> death by Paresis.
ifoneralljy the disease runs its course in
al> nt three years from the time that it un
questionably declares itself, but there are
•ntfH'N —whore it is induced altogether by
alabbohsm —in which the end is delayed as
much hit ten years, the greater part of
wßfr-. i timo'tM victim is a flaccid, paralyzed
dm ,ling, "helpless and hopeless imbecile or
tortured by the saddest hallucination, a
condition from which death would seem to
be a happy release.
As long ago as 1672, this peculiar variety
of cerebral affection w as observed, but until
fifteen years ago it was rare and had not
I ecn so cl sely studied, accurately defined
and the knowledge concerning
it so sys:ematized, as now.
Within ten years it t.as constantly, and with
alarming rapidity it increased i.fthe United
States, until now’ it is not too much to
that it is our national terror. In no other
p rt of the world is it so frequent. And its
Might is most apt to fall upon those who
are brightest* most mentally active. Stu
pid people have little reason to fear it, if
t! ey keep sober, nor have women. Not one
per cent, of the cases are those of females.
The average woman does not dangerously
strain her brain, but many mjn, in the
eager competition, rapid life and over ex
citation of train and nerves common to
American existence, do so—and invite
Paresis.
Here is an almost infallible recipe for him
who desires to attain Paresis. Let him en
ergetically and persistently overwork him
seii in his study, in his counting-house, or
in the maddening whirl of the excha iges,
keeping his brain active by night ii plotting
and planning, and by da r in striving for
the at compiisument of his schemes. When
he feels weary, exh usted, ne vous and lie
low par, let him ‘‘brace up” on alcoholic
stimuiants, maintaining an unnatural exci
tation in bis brain by keeping it steadily in
ft m*.re or congested condition. As be
gradually begins to find even aic.iol rather
unsatisfactory and inefficient, let him re
s' rt to the use of “nerve foods,” “nerve
t nics,” “phosphate compounds*’ and such
[ike nostrums largely composed of mor
phine, strychnine nud quinine. If he is a
prohibitionist he can resort to
rtso. t to t ese things,without going tnrough
the alcoholic stage of progress, and attain
the same end with equal certainty. When
he goes away from his busine 8 for a b*ief
vacation, let him take care that he gets to
no place where cannot be informal daily
upon tuG state of the markets and where he
will be unable to maintain constant com
munication with his broker, if he is on the
street} or if he is a literary man,-let him
alottg veitjri him a pile of worluthat he
wll fis.v© ‘\jjlAa good chance to finish up
■n the quiet or*the country.” All these
things he may jdo and still remain quite a
al and respectable member of society.
I I ho is in a hurry for his Paresis, he may
hx hs progress toward it by including
nameless excesses, but they are by no meaus
with moderately faithful ad
• e ) he >• nirsQOf lifs prescribed, he
dy fi;Kl himself troubled much by
• •• {dessbefis; excruciating beadacuG* need
not. eem at all strange to him; his nervous
*v> om will.bain sucu a condition that very

himto sad do i and furious outbursts

I * ttq bon; ho will have seas .ns of
£tip Ufisnottgeoey, mental depressions that
approach despair alternating with periods
f'Lwe wildest,!llusive hopes. By that time he
will have huParesis,boyond ad question,and
thereafter it seems needless to advise him
further, as the insanity expert, the asylum
men and eventually the undertaker will
successively take charge of him.
Is it i ecossary to suggest that the man
who does not want paresis will, if intelli
gent, regulate his Id'e upon lines diam tri
' ‘liy opposed to those laid down so clearly
in tuatrecipe?
Dr. Allan Me Lane Hamilton, who is
recognized as one of the highest authorities
iq on mental diseases in this c juntry, when
'•insulted a few days ago upon the subject
f 'f paresis, for the purpose of this article,
said:
“I see a great deal of it, in various asy
lums and institutions, as well as in my pri
vate practice, and recognize ti e fact tint
h ns been, during ten years pa t, steadily
and alarmingly increasing. It is a disease
incident to the rapid life of tin * c mntry.
in a majoiity of cases it is directly depend
ent upon vice and not upon actual overwork
nl 'ae. Alcoholism and sypuliitic disea e
uro frequently inducing causes.
is the iiishion uow-a-day* to
call all form of s ructural disease of tho
brain, with mental disturbance,
‘■pu.eral paresis,’ but trie general name,
mt alia paralytica , is the proper term.
' s u ni.e the disease attacks persons who are
; irnarily dissipated, and with that dinsi-
I I ion have acer oin amount probably ex
ct'Si.ive, of inegular mental work. Nearly
always it begins with some depression, des
pondency, or, very often, hypochondriasis.
•/* ■ r the period of depression, which lasts
*' r a variable time, ensues extravagance of
M t which is an important feature of the
disease.
“The so-called ‘illusions of grandeur’ now
r t i ained are of the most extravagant
’tractor, the victims having vast confi
nee iu their own dowere. Some of them
Cl;uni to the entire wealth of the
" t*ld and—more or leas governed by this
iunion— give away presents most extruva
‘ itly. spend their money in tne most eck
i*‘ss way and cherish the wildest schemes.
U hers believe that they are speci ily ap
pointed by God to perform tremendous
; * us, or achieve g eat- things, such the
(, ' La h*..mg of new faiths, or the founding
"I new orders, and dem themselves ea
uow and with the power of working miracles.
\“ eir schemes are always coloaL The
character of *Ol. Sellers* is simply an ex
®mnlo of modified paresis. His eye-water
■enema is distinctively that. Another nota
ble fact is that these vast illusions are meant
for the good of humanity, teas those cherish
ing them desire to be groat bonefactors, r.nd
they are food of conferring imaginary
honors and grandiose titles.
While the patient is under the domination
of the e different illusions he is more or less
influenced by his surrounding*, and is very
ant to become violent and abusive when his
illusions are questioned or his powers
doubted.
The legal aspects of these earlier symp
toms is a matter of a great deal of im
portance, because very often the disease
may have made very great headway before
it is thought necessary to take measures
for the protection of the individual and uis
interests, and in that interim he will ve y
often give bis money away, or enter into
illusory and foolish speculations. Or, on
the other hand, ho inay bo made the means
of perpetrating fraud upun others, as in tho
cases that occurred in France about live
years ago, In one case a physician, aid in
the other a friend of two men in whom they
• etected tho earlier symptoms of paresis,
effected insurance for large amounts upon
the lives or the affected persons, who es
caped detection by the examiners of the
Insurance companies, but wer e both dead
within three year?. In one case at least,
tho amount of the insurance was recovered,
but the fraud was beyond question. Tho
early physical symptoms'showiug disease of
the Drain consist of slight variations in the
6ize of the pupils, a little disturbance in
speech, muscular weakness and imperfect
co-ordination Or i harmonious action. A
period of oerebal congestion of the brain
frequently precede* othar demonstra
tions of tho disease and may occasion vio
lent headaches and insomnia, with nervous
ness. tendency to flashing up iu sudden au
ger, and extreme irritability.
“After the illusions of grandeur, there
may be a sudden remission of the symptoms,
which will cause friends to think t at the
patieut has recovered and that the physi
cians have erred in their diagnosis. That
period of apparent recovery may last for
several months, but inevitably the appar
ent sanity suddenly vanishes, the illusions
return with greater force than before, and
thenceforth t e disease progresses, with
possible occurrence of shorter and shorter
periods of delusive apparent sanity, steadily
toward the inevitable ond. '1 he casb (if
Prouse-Cooper, with w ich l was connected,
was an illustration of thi natural progress
of events. He was not a patient of mine,
but I examined him iu a medico-legal w y,
“As the disease progresses iu the brain,
the body wastes away, becomes feeble, the
muse es are powerless, and a condition of
paralysis sets in. Toward the end the pa
tient, incapable of motion or consciousness,
drools saliva from bis open mouth, sees noth
ing with his lack lustre eyes, and gradually
fades away. At la>t come* death.
“The disease seldom lasts more than three
years, but there Is a modified form where it
may last for ten years. Only alcholic cases
are quite long. Men are nearly always its
victims, and generally under 40 or at most
45 years of age. Probably not more than
one per cent, of the cases are women. Sy
philis, alchol, and irregular hours are great
causes of it. The popular idea that cer
tain morbid excesses produce paresis is a
allacy, but in the first stages of the disease
there is a tendency to all sorts of exc stes,
and there is nothing too outrageous for the
victim in things concerning his appetites
and vices.
“Great mental fatigue, with recourse to
stimulants, either alcholic or other excit
ants, is a great cause of paresis. A man wno
will work hard and perhaps excitedly, all
day long, keeping himself up to his task
with the fictitious energy of the delusive
cocktail or other alcoholic beverages, and
so niaintaing a congested condition of bis
brain, is favoring a disease of the blood
vessels of the brain which results in paresis.
They become enlarged, tortuous, with
aneurisms here and there. The indherimi
nate use of powerful drugs to stimulate tne
brain is very apt to leave an effect similar
to that produced by alcohol in inducing :he
disease. Of c urse the use of phospb :ric
acid and such thi gs, by direction of a com
petent physician, may at a certain stage
be helpful, but, as a rule, true jiaresis wh n
started cannot be stopped.
“It is a very dramatic disease in its ex
pre—ion, and cases of it frequently oome
before the public because it induces extra
vagant acts, the mental disturbance oc
curring in the midst of apparent health.
The case of George L. Fox, the pantomimic
clown, was one of that kind, an 1 there
have been several such among the players.
The excitements, mental efforts and irregu
larities of their lives are predi -po-ing, or
producing causes of this disease, and it may
well happen that their very brilliancy, for
which they are a imired, is at times but tho
gleam of insanity that iinail.niakosit-.elt
known by some outburst that clearly indi
cates the nature of the malady. I am well
assured that iu some cases—hat of McCul
lough, for instance—great injustice has been
done to the memories of sadly afflicted men
by the scandalous tongue of popular rum r
in assigning the supposed cause of their
affliction.”
Dr. Hamilton was asked if it was true,
as reported, that Robert Garrett, who is
his patient, is a victim of paresis. He de
clined di cussi m of the case, but said he
thought it “was not necessarily incurable.”
That, taken in connection with his previous
expressions as to the practical certainty of
fatal results in paresis, may be considered
as tantamount to a denial that that is the
disease affecting the Baltimore millionaire.

LAURA’S TRUE FATHER.
A Romantic 8:ory of Our Civil War
Juat Made Fublic.
Prom the New York Herald .
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 4. —The veil which
is just lifted from the identity of Laura A.
Powell, financial secretary of district assem
bly No. 8, Knights of Labor, in this city,
brings a romantic story of the late war to
light. The girl’s name is not Powell, but
Marion. The young lady was let into the
secret a short time before Eii Powell’s death.
Until then she regarded him as her father.
The story of her birth runs thus: The night
before the battle of Pea Ri ge, as Messrs.
Powell. Marion and a comrade of theirs,
all union soldiers, were lying in their tents,
they began to talk of their prospects of
being killed the next day. E toll agreed
that be was satisfied to give his life for the
stars and stripes, but worried about his
family.
After much talk it was finally agreed
that should any of the three be killed the
ot er two should take a child apiece from
the dead man’s family mid nine it. With
this resolution firmly imprinted on their
minds they fell fast asleep, and the dark
terrors of death troubled them no more
until they were nw'akenod in the morning
by the call of t e bugle and drums which
summoned them to duty.
The promises of the previous night were
then renewed, which was followed by hand
shakes ad a farewell. The rumbling and
the bo lining of the cannons next occupied
t ieir attention, aud during the heat of the
engagement Marion was mortally wounded.
Hi was taken to the hospital, and thence to
his home in Parkersburg, W. Va , whore he
died.
Mr. Powell, true to his promise, took
Liura Marion to raise, who was then in
such tender years that she knew neither
father nor father. Recently Miss Powell
has found three sisters who w re adopted
by other people ufter htr mother's death.
One Fact
Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an
American statesman. It Is a fact, estab
lished by the testimony of thousand! of
people, that Hood’s Sarsaparilla does cure
scrofula, salt rheum and other diseases or
affections arising from impure state or low
condition of the blood. It also overcomes
that tired feeling, creates a good appetite,
anil gives strength to every part of the sys
tem. Try it.
