MALARIA into the Syst

"Of all the habits, tho ono that
sticks closest to a fellow la the elec
tricity habit." said a young doctor.
"The drink habit and the cocnlne
habit aro mere summer fancies com
pared with It But there Is one thing
to lie sit Id lu Its favor: It Is usually
beneficial. Th electricity habit Is con
tracted Just like any other habit. A
few currents are administered during
an Illness, they strengthen ami stim
ulate, and the first thing the patient
knows he flutist the tonic Indispensa
ble. Even after he gets well he craves
the treatment.
"I know one young woman who
makes a fair living by calling at the
homes of electricity victims and dos
ing tiioin with a few shocks front a
galvanic battery. Most slave to the
habit have their own batteries, but
they are afraid to apply the treatment
to themselves. That Is practically s
groundless fear, for there Isn't one
chance In a thousand of a person giv
ing himself an overdose HIIII, they
prefer un experienced hit ml to manago
the current.
"Not all the electricity fiend are
Invalids, by any means. Many of
them are now as well ss they ever
were, yet thoy have lie-come so addict
ed to the habit that they reipilre the
weekly, semi-weekly or possibly dally
electric thrills to tone them uo."
