THE BLUES.

No man or woman is more sick of life than when they have that trouble commonly called The Blues. It amounts to a disease in many cases. That terrible feeling which makes all the world appear gloomy, without on© ray of brightness. Even one’s best friends seem to have deserted them. Every little trouble adds fuel to the down-hearted, despondent being. Some fly to drink for solace, ’ but strong drink can never cure fits of melancholy. In nine cases out of ten this state of mind arises from a deranged system, in all probability from a disordered state of / 1 Vi the Liver, which is draining the energy from your system, making you languid and irritable, at cross purposes with everyone you com© in contact with. You require a medicine which will put a move into your system, enliven your liver, stimulate your circulation, and sooth© your nerves. Take a short course of Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills, which will impart health and vigour through the medium of a well-regulated system.

It appears that the habit is not peculiar to dustmen, but is very prevalent among labourers generally, among whom there is a firm conviction that it is a sure protection for the wearer against fits. This idea has probably arisen from the fact that mercury, commonly called quicksilver, was formerly used as a remedy for epilepsy.
