he failed to put in an appearance. and

AGORAPHOBiA.
The Disease Is Not New One, Says q
New York Doctor.


A specialist in nerve diseases who is
connected with the Postgraduate hos

port that the disease called agorapho.

much excitement in London recently
Is something new. On the contrary,
symptoms OF neurasthenia, an aflict:cn
we'll known to American physicians.
Agoraphobia Is nothing more than q
fear of broad open spaces, The New
York doctor who in his hospital expe-
rience has met almost every forl Of
mental disease, relates that one of tie
most successful business men in the
metropolis is SO subject to agoraphobia,
that he goes to and from his office i'll
and, further to add to his feeling Of
security his wife accompanies him.
Not only this fear of wide places. bus
Che fear of Enclosures or of cramped
quarters, is common. this doctor as
serts. This other disease is knaHu as
elaustrophobia.
According to Che Sew sSork exrel<

and mipophoba, o. dread Of dirt and

frequently encountered. Ionophobists
have been known to faint upon disco1-

Strangest perhaps Of all these forms
of ncura3thcna is the disease known

The old method Of treating neuras
thenia, or nervous prostration. as it is
generally termed, was by administer
ing strong tonics. but in most instances
these did more harm than good. In the
Postgraduate hospital. ths doctor says
Che treatment prescribed consists
largely of rest and a proper diet. Few
drugs are given. Sometimes a change
of occupation or few weeks yaca-
ton spent in complete idleness will
effect a cure. Thousands of people. the
doctor says, have symptoms of neuras-
thenia. but do not recognize them as
such. The doctors advice is that when
any one feels depressed or enervated a
careful consideration of the cause of
sbese symptoms will oftentimes save
