Nerve Training.

The question OF the susceptibility of the
nervous system for training has recently
been discussed. 1t is believed that nerves
can be cultivated. According to the most
comprehensive opinion, a great deal de-
ponds ON the owner of the nerves. 1t is
possible TO train certain classes and condi-
tions, while others are hopelessly unsus-
ceptible. The will Of the individual. the
pliability, or rather the impressionability,
has everything TO do with successful nerve
training. AS a matter of fact the desire
TO be trained must be present first of all.
IL comes from within and, prompted by
the desire of the individual, a course of
training may bring about the happiest re-
suits. Training nerves against the will of
the patient reminds one of the old adage
of convincing a man against his will
" be is OF the same opinion still. "

There is scarcely a substance which, after
