II You're Nervous. Crawl.


This is straight from Greece, in
fact lifted from Greece Medicale,
which is a high class medical jour
nal, ] gather, though it is Greek
to nae as it is to you. Frankly, L
have lifted the idea second hand;
DR.. Cecikas's original contribution
was translated in abstract in the
Journal of the American Medical
association. This association, you
know, is the doctors trust" to-
which practically all good doctors
in America belong, if they can. l
am regular Fellow of the A. NJ. A.
DIR. Cekisas reports eight cases of
distressing parOxysmal tachycardia
(Which is Greek for an attack OF
very rapid heart action) relieved
by getting down and crawling
about the floor on all fours-the
patients did the crawling, not The
doctor. One young man of 80 was
greatly emaciated from dysentery,
and crawling on all foups was his
only way of obtaining relief from
the paroxysms. Other patients
were older, corpulent, and had a
tendency toward angina pectoris
(vulgarly called neuralgia" of the
heart), but crawling relieved them.
Still another was thin, nervous, I'M
able to sleep, and she. too crawled
out of it.
DIR. Cekisas offers various ex-
plantations, all theoretical though
scientific. The best seems to be that
it is just as well for us not to for
get that we are only highly spec
ialiZed animals, strutting around on
our hind feet, and an occasional re-
version to type doesn't hurt any
thing but our false dignity.
l have attempted, in my diffident,
modest way, to preach the same
thing for alleged stomach trouble,
Indigestion, autointOXication, sick
headaches, and lots of other all
ments not Indigenous in Greece.
The only difference between Cecikas
and me is that L like to think we
are mostly young animals, and so
| insist on getting down and turn
ing somersaults for the same things
Cecikas's patient merely try to
crawl out Of.
