churches for three weeks beginning

JEWISH LIABILITY TO NER-
VOUS MALADIES.

DIR. Rafael Becker in his book on
NERVOUS Affections among the
Jews" finds support for Zionist aims
in purely medical considerations. He
attributes the liability of the Jews
to nervous maladies to the fact that
"disease tends to attack most severe
ly that part of the organism which
is most used" and in the case of the
Jews this part is the nervous sys-
tenn and it's central organ, the brain.
This again is due to the abnormal
legal and social status of the Jews
in the diaspora, which leads them
to give an undue preference to pro-
fessions involving severe mental
strain. The remedy is that the Jews
should return to more normal dis
tribution of occupations, such as
prevails among other peoples, and
reinstate agriculture and handi-
crafts, which 'provide every people
with it's groundwork of sound ner-
vous systems in their ancient
place of honour. This can only be
done in. Palestine; only in the
ancient Jewish homeland can a suf-
fcient portion of the Jewish peo-
pie devote itself to these occupations
to repair the constant decay in the
nervous energy Of the race.-Anglo-
Jewish Press Agency.
