Dipsomania, or Thirst Madness. The periodical desire for strong drink which sometimes besets individuals, otherwise moral and exemplary, is a species ot paroxysmal mania beyond the control of the patient. It is quite certain that there are thousands oi cases of remittent drunkenness, which present the specific symptoms of disease. The periodical drunkard is not an habitual dram drinker. But at particular times he appears to be attacked by a species of thirst-madness which deprives him of the power of volition and hurries him into the most terrible excesses. During the interval between the paroxysms he may be a perfectly sober man. For many weeks, or even months, he may have steadily refused to taste a drop of liquor; may, indeed, have felt no inclination for it, but on the contrary have regarded it with disgust And yet, when the fit comes on, the raging thirst for alcohol utterly paraly zes his concience and his will. A man in this condition is a monomania.: and shottl^ be treated as such. If put under proper restraint at the com mencement of this Juror, the dipsoma niac, in nine cases out of ten, might be tided over hisdifficulty in the course of a week, and a perseverance in this couse at the recurrence of the halluci nation would probably eventuate tn a complete cure. It is not easy to per suade the world that all drunkenness is not voluntary. The law does not recognize dipsomania. It treats all inebriates alike. This seems to be unjust, though it is hard to say where to draw the line between free will ex cess, and that which proceeds from an uncontrollable mania - —Mumford’s Magazine. Endorsing. The system of endorsing is all wrong, and should be utterly abolished. It has been the financial ruin of more men than, perhaps, all other causes Bookkeeping, a journal devoted to merchants, clerks and business men, advises our young men especially to study the matter in all its bearings, and adopt some settled policy to gov ern their conduct, so as to be ready to answer the man who asks them to sign his note. What responsibility does one assume when be endorses a note? Simply this: He is held for the payment of the amou'.t in full, principal and interest, if the maker of the note, through misfortune, misman agement or rascality, fails to pay it. Notice, the endorser assumes all the responsibility, with no voice in the management of the business and no share in the profits of the transaction, if it proves profitable; but with a cer tainty of loss, il for any of the reasons, stated, the principal fails to pay the note.—Scientific American. Monarch of all He Surveys. The Writer, a Boston publication for literary workers, in the course of an ably written article on the country newspaper and its editor, has the fol lowing regarding the successful country “public opinion moulder:” “There is no department of newspa per work in which there is so great and immediate and satisfactory a re ward as in that of the successful coun try editor, provided also he is owner of his paper. Here he can find scope for just as much literary finish and just as much business ability as he cares or is able, to exercise. For his good work he gets the credit. He is as big politically as he cares to be. He need not be the victim of the cord-wood and prize-pumpkin subscriber unless he desires to be. Life is what he makes it. He can control circum stances in a way that would never be possible to him if he were the victim of the whims of some arbitrary city editor, who may treat his men as mere pieces of machinery, that must be sac rificed, if need be, for the good of the central machine.” Than ho olnspod her with emotion, Drew the maiden to his breast.. Whispered vowa of true devotion, The old, old tale,—you know the rest. From his circled arms unspringing, With a tear she turned away, And her voieo with sorrow ringing, " I shall not sec my bridal day. This dramatic speech broke him up badly; but when she explained that her apprehen sions were founded on tho fact of an inher ited predisposition to consumption in hor family, he calmed her fears, bought a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery for her, and she is now the incarnation of health. Consumption fastens its hold upon its victims while they are unconscious of its approach. The “Golden Medical Discovery” has cured thousands of cases of this most fatal of mala dies. But it must be taken before the disease is too far advanced in order to be effective. If taken in time, and given a fair trial, it will cure, or money paid for It will bo refunded.
