Overwork and Disease.

work for one man nifty be nothing but
wholesome aetivity for another. Various

and, as 0 elms, aro short-lived. It is well
knellen, too, that exhausting marches, like
the retre,tt of Napoleon'e army from IttISSia
are attended by tt, frightful loss of life; but
evon the medical piefuseion lues not under-
stood the nature of the relation between
overwork ond its morbid effects.
Of late years, however, the !subject has
been carefully studied by medical exports,
and the general conelesion reached is that
the system poisons itself by overwork and
exhausting tatigne. The effect, in short, is
somewhat like what takes place when the
o iminating organs of the body are Sebilitab-
ed fee deseased, causing a retention of
poisonous waste.
