Nervous Prostration.
by JOHN ID. BARRY.

In newspaper have just read this letter:
| Sir-Will some experienced reader kindly ad-
wise what | can do for the cure of nervous
prostration. from which I have suffered for the
last eight years and which for the last six years
have been unable to work, all through this con-
dition? / suffer from terrible nervous spells and
foolish fears and thoughts which get me into such
condition that / for the time being almost
unable to control myself. | have tried several
doctors for the means of cure, but all to no
avail So hope If this should be read by some
reader who has gone through the misery of this
disease and has been cured of it to please let me
know and will be forever thankful ]. c. E.
On finishing the letter my first reflection was
THAT experience doesn't reflect very creditably
on the doctors" Then | saw that | might be
doing the doctors an injustice. Often doctors are
blamed for the refusal the inability of patients
to cooperate. After ALL doctoring is a good deal
like teaching. Unless the student allows himself
to be guided by the teacher and learns to teach
himself he might just as well give up. And
less the patient follows the advice of his doctor
and learns to cure himself he may have no real
cause for complaint. Whatever good we acquire
in this world must come from ourselves. We
may take in wisdom from outside; but for us it
will not be wisdom until it becomes actual part
of US and operates from within. | have known
patients who have cured themselves by their turn
ing away from doctors and working out their own
cure. Indirectly they may be said to have been
helped, by being driven, through their contempt
for doctors into an attitude of independence What
strikes me most pitiful in the of 81. c. B."
is that after years of suffering, he has not been
able to find for himself way out.
Perhaps, however, there is no reason for
blame here. The letter of 81. c. B." suggests that
he has had comparatively little education. At any
rate, he writes like 4 unused to expressing
himself in writing. His way of expressing him
self makes his all the pathetic. Besides
he is evidently sincere. He shows that he is still
bewildered by his maady. He is probably suf-
ferng from symptom that seems to be of
the hardest OF all the symptoms to bear in nerv-
Gus prostration, the sense of strangeness of iso
lation. Ii used to of my scquaint-

A Line o Cheer Each Day o the Year.
By JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.

First printing OF original poem, written osiIy
for The Washington Hsraid.
The Washington herald., 1915-11-07

Any form of nervous disorder is OF course,
weakness. But so is every kind of sickness There
is no discredit in having a weak stomach a
weak heart. And yet if discredit is ever justin
able, there ought perhaps to be discredit for any
weakness. In most cases the weakness is due to
lack OF common sense. This remark applies with
special force to nervous disorders. However we
waste altogether too much time in giving credit or
discredit. 1t would be far profitable to try to
GIT down to the of our trouble and to seek
remedy.
What are the causes OF nerve weakness? In
nearly every instance they will be found due to an
inability on the part of the sufferer to establish
wholesome relation with life.
In many instances the trouble may be traced
to heredity. But, as a rule, heredity is never
wholly to blame. 1t never stands out as the sole
cause At its worst it is tendency. And the ten
dency 10 weakness can, in most instances be con-
trolled and even corrected by right living. AS
matter OF fact, most of us are born with some
wrong tendency. One OF our most important tasks
is to realize it and to safeguard ourselves. 1t is
not at all surprising that the nerves OF a human
being should be weak. For of all animals there
is probably no animal that has so abused those
active agents of sensation as man.
The Washington herald., 1915-11-07

The nerves carry the sensations OF pleasure and
pain and they convey thoughts. They are like hnc
wires running through the body. Nervous people
have told me that at times they feel if their
bodies were full Of wires all alive and painful.
The nerves are. of course, our servants wonder
fully active and eager to help. But some OF us
overwork them shamefully. The consequence IS
that they go on strike. And there is no strike IN
the world more terrible. Instead of being the
wants, the nerves become the masters. There is
very literal truth in the expression that this per-
son or that is slave to nerves. But an ac-
quaintance of mine has an even more suggestive
expression. He occasionally tells me that his
nerves have been raising hell The fact IS that
sick nerves are a form Of hell.
What is to be done in a like that OF 81. C.
b.? | suppose the first thing would be to try TO
get at the direct causes OF the trouble These
might go on doing their work while the symp-
toms were under treatment But there are GER
tain general rules for the treatment OF nerves
that all physicians and all nervous sufferers have
found helpful. One is the giving up OF bad habits
and the establishing of good habits: The good
habits would include not merely wholesome doing
but wholesome thinking. The wholesome thinking
would inhibt, far lay within ones power, all
hate bitterness and resentment all anger, all self
assertion at the expense lof others. The whole
some doing would establish regular habits for the
body, going to bed at definite time, getting up
at definite time eating regularly and never over
eating keeping the pores open through exercise,
getting into a good sweat at least once day, and
feeling the physical and mental stimulus resulting
from bath taken Immediately atterward Then
there is the important consideration of living so
far as is possible in the fresh air and taking 1t
in not specifically but deeply, so that the whole
physique may be exhilsfated and the lungs may
be able to throw of their impurities.
1t would seem as if we might all have sense
enough to live in some such way. But if we did
there would be no use for doctors. And nerves
would disappear.

PLAYFUL DOG cHokEs BOY
Tragic End for New York Younester
That CAME With Tue-of.War
Game With Puppy.

Thomas Santerano. five years of
age, and his cousin. Angelina, aged
seven. were playing in the yard of
their home with a cloth dog, sliding
him down a cellar door and now and
then tying him to clotheslines that
dangled from fire escape.
A real dog. unkempt, lean, and no
lineage whatever. entered the yard
and the children forgot the cloth dog
to play with the stranger.
Thomas, standing on the cellar door,
Tipped the clothesline, and the dog
seized it. He tugged one way and
Thomas the other the boy slipping
around on the cellar door and laugh
ing. In some way the rope got about
his neck. He tugged to free himself
and the dog resisted.
The little girl didn't understand
why her cousin didn't shout and laugh
any more. She ran screaming into
the tenement. When the neighbors
came they found the boy dead. They
drove the dog away and carried the
boy to his mother.-New York Sun.

Take one generous half-pint of pas

OF shortening. half a teaspoonful of
salt. half a teaspoonful of baking
powder. Sift the dry ingredients, rub
In the shortening, moisten with cold
water only sufficiently to roll out,
wet pie crust is never crisp; a quarter
OF cupful of water should be ample
Roll thin.
Pie crust should be rolled in one
direction-away from you.
Do not put meat directly on the ice;

Oriental Water Bottles.

Hebron, one of the oldest cities in
Palestine, has always been famous for
its Oriental water bottles, made of
goat skins. Here are to be found large
tanneries, where these receptacles are
turned out by the thousands. Lying
upon the ground in rows may be seen
hundreds of goat skins awaiting pur-
chasers. Each skin is inflated, either
with water or with air, so that the
buyer may know it is perfectly water
tight. The majority of the skins used
come from Arabia, while a large num-
Der are also received from the Leb-
anons. They are brought to Hebron
by the camel caravans and are pur-
chased by the tanneries and turned
into bottles. They pass through many
processes and tanner will spend a
week upon single skin before it is
rendered water-tight and serviceable
From Hebron these old bottles" are
sent to all parts of the East, thou
sands going down into Egypt and the
Sudan every year. They are also used
as RATS. A number of inflated skins
are attached to light wooden frame,
which then not only readily floats. but
is capable of carrying quite a heavy
load. Such RATS are to be seen on the
rivers Of Syria and also on the Eu-
pirates and Tigris.-Birningham Post.
