NERVOUSNESS IN AMERICA.
DIR. Mitchell Says 1t l. the Characte ristic
Disease of the Nation.

Disease of the Nation.
DR.. :. Weir Mitchell considers it
proved beyond any dispute that nerv-
business il the characteristic malady of
the American nation. growing upon
them in frightfully accelerated ratio
every year. and threatening them with
disaNrers,at no distant date which the
mind shrink~ from contemplating. says
writer in McElure's Magazine. The
number of deaths from this cause i al
ready appalling and il steadily and
rapidly increasing. In some of the
busy centerS the tables of mortality
show that the proportion of nerve
deaths has multiplied more than TWEEN
ty times in the last forty years. and
that now the nerye-deathS number
more than one-fourth of all the deaths
recorded. What Is most shocking in
these returns. this fearful loss Of life
occurs mainly among young people of
both sexes.
This means that the Americans are
fast becoming very short-Iived peo-
pie; and that if they were shut in on
themselves for only a few wears. with
out any influx of vitality by immigra-
tion. the publication of the census
would send a pang OF horror and alarm
throughout the land.
What is the cause of this? DR. Mitch
ell l. clearly Of opinion that the first
and most potent cause is the climate
How or why the climate of America
produces the effect that it does has
never been explained. DIR. Mitchell
says the operation of climatic condi-
tions in relation to health in this coun-
try Il utterly mysterious: but he is
quite persuaded that the development
of nervous temperament is one of the
race changes which are also giving the
Americans facial. vocal and other pecul-
iarities derived from none of their n
ceStral stocks. Some scientific OBJ
servers have affirmed that there is an
electric" quality in the climate here
which operates powerfully on the
nerves. but it Is not clear what they
mean by that. and DIR. Mitchell. who
has probably given the subject more
attention than anybody else. does not
consider the evidence of this electric
agency sufficient to found a theory.
What Is certain Is that people coming
largely from the phlegmatic races un-
dergo a change of temperament here
and become eXcitablc. emotional and
irritable in degree that is unknown
In any other part Of the world An
other plainly recognized effect of the
American climate Is that il makes. the
strain OF either mental or physical
labor much more severe than ii is else
where.
