ADVANTAGES OF CRYING.-A French
physician publishes long dissertation
on the advantages of grooming and cry
ing in general, and especially during
surgical operations. He contends that
grooming and crying are two grand OPP
erations by which nature allays an
guish; that those patients who give way
to their natural feelings more speedily
recover from accidents Interpretations
than those who suppose it unworthy %
man to betray such SYMPTOMS of cow
ardice as either groan or cry. He
tells of man who reduced his pulse
from one hundred and twenty to sixty,
in the course of a few hours, by giving
full vent to his emotions. If people are
at all unhappy about anything, let them
go into their rooms and comfort them
selves with, a loud boohoo, and they will
feel hundred per cent. better after
ward. In accordance with tho above,
the crying of children should not be too
greatly discouraged. If it is system
atcaliy repressed, the result may be st.
Vitus's Dance, epileptic fits, or some
other disease of the nervous system.
What is natural is nearly always use-
full; and nothing can DO more natural
than the crying of children when any
thing occurs to give them either physi-
cal or mental pain. Probably most per-
sons have experienced the effect of tears
in relieving great sorrow. IL is even
curious how the feelings are allayed by
their free indulgence in groans and
signs. Then let parents and friends
show more indulgence to noisy bursts Of
grief-on the part of children as we'll
as of older persons-and regard tho
eyes and the mouth as the safety-valves
through which nature discharges her
surplus steam.
