    be utterly without excuse . Here , for instance , , we are introduced to the general causes of nervous trouble , and the best modes of taking rest and

    recreation ; and although we fear that the author ' s admirable counsels will not always be effectual with those who most deeply need themthey are

    , none the l * ss valuable , and deserve the widest circulation . Home-truths are proverbially those which receive the least attentionand it is *

    cially true that the neglect of the , most obvious spe precautions is the parent of nearly all the ills from which men suffer . The writer strongly

    deprecates indulgence in alcoholic stimulants , but he admits that ' to the mentally overworked , wine in moderation is beneficial . ' Tobacco he

    classes as a deadly poison ; and tea and coffee , he asserts , are a frequent , though unsuspected cause of headache . Perhaps the most sensible

    piece of advice in the book is that in which the author recommends all sufferers from nervous disorders to have recourse to a trustworthy

    doctor . We ( Juta have Cape also received Town ) — Jul Cape — Monthl CHM y Own Magazine % Paper « b
