At a recent meeting of the Berlin
Society for Psychiatry and Nervous
DtseaHes, Professor Oppenheimer read
a paper on habitual vertigo from
which It appeared that this condition
Is less apparent to tho patient when
riding in automobiles or railway
trains. Professor Kron then stated
that ho had seen the same sequence,
but attributed It to psychic causes—
distraction of the attention, He cited
tho case of a rope dancer who suf-
fered from vertigo when on the
ground, but was never bothered while
In tbe air. The psychic factor, he
sakl, la naturally In evidence here,
and tbe state of affairs la paralleled
by tho actor who always stutters
while off tho stage, but never whtle
speaking his lines in a play.
Professor Bernhardt stated that the
patient with habitual vertigo feels In
better spirits on an automobile or
railway journey, and this Is also true
of patients with paralysis agltana. He
attributed the favortvblc result to tho
fact that tho Involuntary motion Im-
parted by the vehicle antagonizes the
sensations of vertigo and tretnor. One
of his patients with paralysis agltnns
takes several rides dally on an nuto
omnibus with beneficial results.

No other medicine for woman’s ills
has received such wide-spread and un- i
qualified endorsement. No other med- i
leine we know of lias such a record
of cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years It has been
curing woman’s ills such as inflamma
tion. ulceration, fibroid tumors, irreg
ularities, periodic pains and nervous
prostration, and it is unequalled for
carrying women safely through the
period of change of life.
