Neurasthenia

What is neurasthenla and what are its
causes? What are the prospects for recovery
In a severe case? a. B'
The cause is usually poisoning of the
body through absorption of putrefactive
material 'from the intestinal tract This
should be combated by careful regula-
tion Of the diet, the exclusion of all flesh
foods and the liberal use of fruits, vege-
tables, coarse cereals and bran. A table,
spoonful of bran should be taken with each
meal. and in some cases mineral oil is also
necessary. An outdoor life, carefully regu-
lated exercise and deep breathing are also
beneficial. Careful compliance with the
requirements of your physician will doubt
less result in very decided Improvement IL
