ANGER IS DANGEROUS.
Il Wrecks the Whole System and
Tends to Shorter Life,

1t is well known that a violent fit Of
temper affects the heart instantly, and
psychophysicists have discovered the
presence of poison I'm the blood imme-
diately after such outburst. This ex-
plains why we feel so depressed. ex-
hausted and nervous after any storm
of passion-worry, jealousy CT revenge
has swept through the mind. 1t has
left in its wake vicious mental poison
and other harmful secretions in the
brain and blood.
There IS no constitution so strong
but 1t will ultimately succumb to the
constant racking and twisting of the
nerve centers caused by an uncon-
trolled temper. Every time you be-
come angry you reverse all of the nor
NAL mental and physical processes.
Everything in you rebels against pas
sion storms: every mental faculty pro-
tests against their abuse.
If people only realized what havoc
Indulgence in hot temper plays in
their delicate nervous structure. II
they could only see with the physical
eyes the damage done as they can see
what follows in the wake of a tornado.
they would not dare to get angry.
When the brain cells are overheated
from a fit of temper their efficiency IS
seriously impaired. If not absolutely
ruined. The presence of the anger poi

is what makes the victim so exhausted
and demoralized after loss of self con-
