prominent symptoms IN such cases.

ing of great weightin the stomach after
eating full meal, producing ~ some
cases a terrible depression, causing the
patient ndeScrlbable suffering, even
when the appetite and digestion remain
good,
Morbid fear of leaving home, or
being separated from their usual at
tendants, also of taking medicine for
fear Of being poisoned, fear OF great
storms. OF crowded assemblies, all or
either and many others are likely 10 be
present in a decided case of nervous
proStration. A constant desire TO talk
OF their symptoms Is commonly so great
as to make il difficult 10 keep such pa
tients long at time talking or thinking
of anything else. Chills and hot flashes
of very irregular duration and recur-
renee come and go without seeming
cause. The hands and feet are usually
cold and clammy, and the general ten
dency Is TO dryness and coldncss OF the
skin of the whole body.
Among the symptoms to which this
class OF patients are liable, but not al
ways present, may be mentioned neu-
ralgic headache, nervous chills, hys-
terra, sinking or faint spells, distressing
palpltabOn of the heart, defective eye
sight, total inability to read, write, or
do any business; urine abundant, with
out color, loss of flesh, slecplessness,
sexual excitabIity, and many others,
of which each case presents q different
array.
This consists, first, of as entire change
of habits as possible. Whatever voca-
ton the patient has followed should be
entirely suspended, or as nearly so as
possible, and some other employment
taken up 10 the extent the strength of
the patient will permit. Entire leisure
Is not favorable to Improvement. as the
patients are too apt to dwell on their
/ troubles.
