every one OF us has his and her own
ailments" writes Edward W. Box In the
Ladies Home Journal, decrying the un-
pleasant habit many people have Of dis
cussing their bodily ills. at is enough
for us all to keep well ourselves; to be
compelled to listen to the ailments OF
others does not make that task any easier.
besides all this, these unnecessary mar
ratives OF personal ailments are positively
injurious to ourselves. Physicians all
agree that many OF the slight illnesses of
which some people make so much, could
be cured IL they would but take their
minds from themselves. Too many peo-
pie work themselves into illnesses, or pre-
vent themselves from getting well, by
talking about petty ailment, which, II
forgotten, would right itself. will not
say that women, more than men, are prone
to this evil But as the majority OF
women have more leisure than the ma jor-
ity OF men, they are more likely to let
their minds dwell upon every little i'll
that assails them and talk sbout 1t.
at seems to me that one OF the most
important lessons we can all learn with
The close OF the year is to refrain from in
tiictinK upon others what is purely per
soual to ourselves. Let US cease this tire
some, this incousiderate, this unnecessary
talk about our ailments. Cold and hard
as ii may seem, the fact is nevert heless
true, and will ever remain so, that the
vast ma iority Of people are interested III

what is unpleasant. Pains and sorrows
are elements in our lives " hch are sacred
