COMMON SENSE TALK BY
THE TIMES PHYSICIAN
FEAR is DEADLY-How TO BEAT 1T

even though there is no patho-
logical reason for such a pain. If
you think you have heart disease
you may be sure your heart will
furnish certain symptoms to bear
you out in your belief. 1t will
skip and seem to turn flip-flops
and palpitate till to all appear
ances you have heart disease.
But really you are only scored.
FEAR Is the most terrible
enemy we have. 1t works with
all our real diseases, and afflicts
us with innumerable imaginary
ailments.
In real disease to Danish fear
Is often half the battle. In imag-
mary disease it is the whole bat
tie.
So II you feel sick, the first
thing to do Is to fortify yourself
against fear. OF course, it is
easier to advise against fear than
to avoid it. but there are ways
in which you can side-step fear,
in some measure at least.
You must ground yourself In
the belief that fear Is deadly, and
that It is responsible for a large
share of the aches and pains that
we attribute to disease. If you
can believe this and live up to
your belief, you will not be
troubled with imaginary diseases
and will largely increase your
power OF resisting real disease.
Then there are tricks that can
be played with success sometimes
when your nerves begin to go
back on you. Regular, deep
breathing is one remedy for
nerves" When you feel your
self going to pieces" lie down
and BREATHE. Fix your atten-
ton on the acts Of breathing to
the exclusion of everything else.
Breathe deeply and rhythmically,
counting the inspirations. Keep
1t up till you go to sleep or until
the tendency to "go to pieces" dis
appears. This Is good thing to
try in cases of insomnia.
Or focus of attention upon an
imaginary spot or object and hold
1t there. Close your eyes and
imagine a colored spot. or ball
of glass or some other object a
foot or SO before your eyes.
Focus your mind on 1t and HOLD
1T. IL 1t tries to wander shut
the doors about it-puil 1t back to
the imaginary spot. If you can
keep the spot in mind for a few
minutes you Will be likely to SO
to sleep.
But above all. bear In mind
that fear Is deadly.
