A well known Philadelphia physician
has discovered new disease. He calls
it nervous prosperity, and, while closely
resembling nervous prostration, it is sup
erinduced by directly opposite causes.
"Nervous prostration," he explains, sis
usually caused by worry over financial
matters. The man who is unsuccessful,
whose hopes have been blighted, and
whose fondest ambitions have been trailed
in the dust of defeat, is the man who
succumbs to nervous prostration. On the
other hand, the sufferer from nervous
prosperity is the man whose head has
been turned by success, or, in othtr
words, the man who cannot stand pros
perity."
