This malady may exist quite apart from pain, whether acute or chronic, and quite separate from au." actual organic disease. It is almost mlway-: the result of some form of nervous de- bility or nerve exhaustion. Overwork, anxiety, undue sense of resjwnsibiiitv are ftoniTiior causes. The ailment also is apt to accompany some Ibge.; of alcoholie indulgence: entire wake- It 11.,> may precede acute delirium trelll<,ns, and occurs in low fevers. Sleeplessness causes great exhaustion, and may quickly produce Toss of weight and strength, loss of appetite, in id languor: in short, it brings on just that low of health which predisposes one to catch all forms of infectious fevers as wpI; ss ratarriis. sore tlu-oats, and pneumonia. Drugs I ere almost always necessary for the cure, but it is highly desirable that other moans, such as change of life, habits, diet, and ehangd of ueIle and occupation should be ",1"0 uetd, I otherwise it may he difficult to leave off the use of the sedative drugs; in that ease the need for the medicine is apt to grow upon the pa- tient, leading to the use of a constantly in- creased dose to obtain the same "mount of sleep. III H1P olden (lays this result led to many rcen l.veconiirig chronic opium eateri>. At the pre- edit time morphia given by injection for sleep lias mads many victims to the habit of partial morphine poisoning. Chloral also, which has been much used as a nerve sedative, has led It any and women into form of chronic kitemprance. Either opium, morphine, or rhloral in suitable (locos will give a good night's rest, but the dose must not be regularly re- peated. During the last few years several new chemi- cal substances have been made and used to kke the place of the more risky older 1(;- ji.tdies. Of these about the best is sulphonal, in doses of ten, fifteen, or twenty grains. It seldom causes headache or any other unpleasant symptom. Trional and tetronal are other new chemical remedies which are often effectual. But Iyhichewr is chosen fliculd cnly be used for actual ¡;ece""ity, anil never habitually. The cvres should rather be sought by removing the of the n-rve exhaustion, and by giving tone and strength to the system by a course of iron, quinine, and btrychnme in suitable coni- biraticn. varied for each patient.

"Vectes "—Tour symptoms point to gravel or stone in the kidneys, and you ought to put yourself under the care of a surgwn.
