A nervous child is greatly to be
pitfed, not so much because of its pres
ent condition, although that is distress
ing enough, as on account Of what the
future has In store for it.
A nervous child suffers, no doubt 1t
is peevish, easily frightened, restless,
inattentiVe, incapable of entering with
enjoyment into the sports of its com
panions, soon tires Of its games, and is
often QuarrelsOme. But 1t is in adult
life that the real suffering comes. In
effective work, sleepless nights, raCking
headaches, the formation Of drug ha-
bits, alcoholism, early physical break
down and even insanity are the dan
gers to be dreaded for the future Of
some-fortunately not all-children
with weak and unstable nervous sys-
TENS.
There is always q cause for this
nervous condition in children, and the
cause can often be removed If it can be-
discovered. Heredity doubtless plays
an important part in many cases, but
not so often as Is commonly believed,
and even when there is an inherited
faint, other factors which perpetuate'
or increase the trouble almost always
exist, and can often be overcome. 4
careful examination of a nervous child
will usually bring to light some physi-
cal defect, the curing of which will
free the nervous system from strain.
These physical defects may be any
where in the body. but are usually
found in enc or more Of three locations
the eyes, the throat and the bowels.
The eyes are most intimately con-
nected with the brain; indeed, they
may be said to be actually part Of the
brain, and a defect of vision inficts
constant and innumerable blows on the
brain which irritate 1t, and this irri-
tation is transmitted to the entire
nervous system. The eyes of a nervous.
child should be examined and specta-
cles worn if called for.
What a pity to put glasses on
child" Yes but what greater pity
to let a nervous child grow up into
a nervous man.
4 child who is q mouth breather Is,
almost sure to have enlarged tonsils or
adenoids This condition interferes
with natural breathing, which prevents
the proper aeration of the blood; and
impure blood cannot properly nourish
the nerve-cells. Further, enlarged ton
sils or adenoids are often slightly in
famed all the time, which causes the
! absorption of septic products which
poison the whole system.
Finally, constipation is most po-
tent influence in the causation 81 ali
sorts Of nervous trouble. The treat
ment Of this condition not at all IN
common in children, in spite of their
activity, does not consist in an occa-
sional dose Of castor-oil. The root OF
the evil must be sought, and ii must
be corrected by careful regimen and
the inculcating of habits of regular
