MYSTERIES AND SYMPTOMS.
Healthy Living, Open-Air Exercise
and Cheerful Employment Are
Prcvcntntives.

This is a disorder of the nervous sys-
TEN. 1t occurs chiefly in girls between
- and % years of age, because at that
period of life the constitution is often
IN a somewhat unsettled condition; but
men also sometimes suffer from it.
though very rarely. compared to women
"Hysteria," says an eminent physi-
ian, is in some instances distinctly
traceable to digestive disturbances, es-
p~ecially long-continued constipation.
Causes referable to the mode of life in
which girls are brought up and to their
general habits aid materially in its pro-
ductiOn, such as want of useful employ
ment, indolent and luxurious habits.
Overpetting and spelling, subsection to
the petty worries of fashionable life.
keeping late hours at parties or reading
sentimental novels"
Healthy living, open-air exercise and
plenty of cheerful employment are the
great preventives OF this ailment.
Bad feeling, overwork and long-con-
tinued grief and anxiety may lead to
hysteria. as well as the opposite condi-
tons of too luxurious living.
AS a rule, a fit of Mysteries occurs when
other people are present; it never comes
on during sleep.
There is first signing, sobbing. lauss~
ing and moaning. If the patent -
sympathized with foolishly and fused
over, she will then go on talking and
gestieulating wildly, struggle violently
and throw herself about, clenching her
hands and feeling as if a ball were ris-
ing in her throat to suffocate her. She
may appear TO lose consciousness. but
if you touch her eyeballs she will open
her eyes quickly enough.
She will eve fall so as to injure her
self, as people do in epileptic fits.
AS hysteria chiefly occurs in people
who are not in the habit of ~self-control.
injudicious sympathy aggrayates the
symptoms.
