for others, this readily grows to be
little less than a mania, Our nervous
systems are delicately adjusted and
once the mind weakens it's control it
is apt to become a factor for pain and
discomfort.
In the beginning many of the things
which get on our nerves do not
really distress us. We note them
casually. With their repetition comes
the selfish wish to have our individual
comfort considered without regard for
general conditions. If we give way to
this, the most trifiing occurrences hold
the possibility of causing infinite an
noyance.
The greatest number OF sufferers
from nervous diseases are not, as
might be expected, overworked indi-
viduals, but are, commonly enough,
people who have little or nothing to
do. and for want of activity devote
too much time to thinking of self.
IT is common to hear some irritable
individual say, $50 and so gets on my
nerves." and the very manner of the
speaker has an equally irritating ef-
feet upon the unfortunate auditors.
Nervous irritability and selfishness be-
get their like. They are contagious.
Let us be unselflsh and avoid the
spreading of this all too common COM
plant.
