X R. WILSON is human after all; all
MI doubt on this point has been
dissipated by the breakdown at
Wichita; he is e. man like the rest of
us-not mere intellectual machine
The distinguished patient, it is now
known. Is suffering from neurasthenia. or
nervous exhaustion-but this is not the
whole story.
We must go back to an attack of in.
fuenza which Mr. Wilson suffered last
April in Paris If we would understand the
fundamental factor of his present illness.
Being OF excellent nervous organization.
Mr.. Wilson endured the strains that the
war put upon his great office and would
easily have wcathered the Peace Confer.
ence and completed his recent American
tour in behalf OF the League of Nations
had it not been for this attack of in.
fuenza.
Sir William Osler, the most distin.
guished OF physicians, has remarked that
almost every form Of disease OF the ner.
vous system may follow influenza" Neu.
rasthenia, however, is particularly apt to
follow in It's wake. The reason is that the
toxins poisonous by-products) Of the In.
fuenza organisms have a special and In,
tense depressing effect upon the nervous
system, and from this depression all ia.
tients are slow in recovering
Even mild Influenza would be pretty
sure to cause neurasthenia in one long
mentally overworked in an atmosphere of
anxiety and worry.
Grave manifestations Of such a neuras.
thenia might be long delayed in one OF
Mr.. Wilson's vigorous constitution, and an
appearance Of good health very frequently
masks the real condition
All the symptoms OF neurasthenia are
due to state Of fatigue involving the
various structures Of the body
The mind is frequently affected and tho
patient becomes impatient apprehensive
and irritable.
Being In state Of fatigue and irritabi-
ity the patient becomes representative to

Owing to the fatigue and irritable state
Of the mind, emotional disturbances have
an increased influence on the mental ac-
tivities, and are also frequently reflected
in an exaggerated manner upon the phys.
ical functions OF the body.
In cases which take on severe char
acter the patient finds 1t difficult to think:
in fact, he may be unable to think. He
discovers that his memory is failing him
and that he cannot fix his attention or
concentrate his thoughts, and he gets into
n panic because he thinks that these SWIM
toms are the forerunners of a complete
mental breakdown. He can be reasoned
with and be made to realize that his fears

petition of life
Granted that a person has such a ner.
vous constitution, overstrain in business
or through intellectual efforts, loss Of rela.
tives, disappointment in love. worry
caused by other matters may be sufficient
TO sink him or her into a condition of
neurasthenia. On tho other hand, a lux
urious and care-free life, which provides
no training for the nervous system, often
renders person liable to succumb to some
slight worry or shock, which would have
no effect upon a more tried nature. Cases
OF this sort are generally on the border
land OF hysteria.
Another fruitful cause Of neurasthenia
is found in injuries Of the head and back
received in situations likely to cause great
anxiety or fright, such as railway accidents
or shipwrecks. Indeed, neurasthenia due
to this cause has frequently been known
as railway spine," especially when accom-
panied by any signs Of definite injury to
the back.
Symptoms-The most prominent and
constant symptom is that OF weakness and
WEAKNESS on exertion. The person may
feel fresh enough in the early part Of the
day, hut after very slight effort he be-
comes exhausted and trembles. The ap-
pearanco changes, the person becoming
puffy under the eyes salow and bloodless.

are groundless, yet he may find himself
unable to dispel them.
The symptoms gradually become more
marked, the mental anxiety increases. the
capacity for work diminishes, and n con
dItion is established in which worry, In
trospection, anxiety and decreased capac
lily for work are present. with increased
demands, owing to the fact that the work
is never completed.
Mental rest so essential in neuras.
thenia, is difficult to attain. What might
be called an unconscious mental activity
goes on which is more exhausting than
conscious unrest. and this makes a cure
doubtful or impossible
The mental state is due to inadeouacy
In the complex inter.associative activities
of the higher brain centres. This made.
quacy is in turn attributable to the OK.
hausted state OF the nerve cells. Emo.
tional disturbances are likely to occur and
upset the sympathetic nervous system
which presides over all the involuntary
functions Of the body. Hence result alb.
normal states OF the circulation, the secre.

growing out OF the abnormal functioning

giving rise to fear, anxiety and uncer.

The rapid fatigue of an acute neuras.
thenia reveals itself in the disturbed ac.

in certain cases some organ or system
stands out conspicuously in the disease
picture These prominent local SYMPTOMS
are ascribable either to some essential
weakness or to exhaustion of an organ
or system due to special strain.
In the case Of Mr.. Wilson we hear much
of headaches, digestive disturbances and
cough
Headache is very common symptom In
neurasthenia. 1t is aggravated by emo.

there can be no permanent cure.

rasthenia, loss Of appetite and peculiar
sensations are experienced There may be
gaseous distention, nausea and vomiting,
pain, and whole host of minor symp-
toms. General weakness usually accom-
panies the gastric manifestations Such
disturbances are intensified after emo
tional stress or physical exertion.
If the gastric secretion be examined no
constant deviations from the normal are
found. There may be too much acid
diminution in its amount or total alb
sence. In some cases the degree of acid
lily VIII vary greatly from time to time.
The gastro-intestinal disturbances cause
marked discomfort, and as they are asso.
ciated with the taking of food, or are tho
result of loss of appetite. the individual
restricts his diet and malnutrition ensues,
with consequent further loss of strength
and a heightened susceptibility to fatigue
Mr.. Wilson's cough is in all probability
