NEW YORK NERVES HEALTH
In Spite of the City's Bustle There
Are Few Deaths from Nerv-
Gus Ailments.

Ihere is not much lacking in New
York which could contribute to tho
nervousness of residents and stran-
gers.
There are fast running railroads on
the streets, above the streets and he
low the streets. There are swift NOV
ing automobiles, bicycles, ambulances.
fire engines, trucks, railroad repair
wagons, delivery carts, patrol wagons.
and in some parts of town steam rail-
roads.
The average height of the big build
ings has increased enormously since
1897. There are thousands of elevators
and many more than 100000 tele-
phones in use and yet the board Of
health figures show steady decline in
the deaths due to nervousness.
New York has become more serene
and less influenced by the exciting con-
ditions ofthrobbing city life each year
In 1873, the first year for which
there is an authentic record, the num-
Der of deaths from all nervous all
ments in New York was 1882 per TO-
900 of population. In 1883 it had fallen
to 23.17 per 10000; in 1893 it had
fallen further to 1888, and in 1903 it
had reached the low figure of 1883.
Last year it was still lower. AS the
city's poulation increases the number
of deaths from nervous ailments stead
lily declines, though apparently the
producing causes of nervousness are
constantly on the increase
The fact is that ue the means of
travel in New York attain a greater
celebrity the effects. instead of being
injurious, seem to have the effect of
generally making New Workers more
careful and less likely to be influenced
by things which in ether days would
have caused alarm. It is not so many
years since timorous New Workers.
were afraid to cross Broadway at
Fulton street, and bridge over the
street had to be built for their accom-
mediation. Nowadays, with the traffic
enormously increased, such a project
