CHRISTMAS ACTS AS TONIC
Happy and ExhlIarating Mental Spirit
Has Good Effect on People, De-
a.. clare Medical Observers,

Close observers In the ranks Of the
medical profession have noted one very
interesting fact concerning the Christ
mas season-that it generally has
good tonic effect upon their patients.
In explanation Of this the London
Lancet says that since Christmas has
come to be regarded as a time for
good cheer, universal feeling of con-.
tentment and happiness is engendered
at this time Of joyousness, routine is
for a while relieved, a certain fresh
ness is given to the daily round, DIFF
ferences Of opinion are sunk, and a.
charitable spirit prevails. Is it. by
the way, hoping for too much that the
season Of good Fellowship should leave
some lasting effect upon the manners
and methods of all? ..a.. Fl
It may not be easy to trace exactly
why this sense of exhilaration and
well-being comes with the advent Of.
Christmas, for the psychological fac.
tors concerned are not simple. But
the main point is that the mental state
does everybody good, and the annual
festivity is just as excellent an insti-
tuition as the prescription of the physi-
clan which gives tone and vigor to the
struggle In life's race. There is no
need nowadays, thanks to the good
sense Of the people and the counsels
of their medical advisers, to moralize
about the evils of stupid indulgence
in food, alcohol and tobacco on fes-
tive occasion such as the present.
Practically everybody realizes the
great physiological advantages of be-
ing wise on merry occasion and the
disadvantages Of being fool. .,..
Many more persons than formerly
feel where use ends and abuse begins,
and they act sensibly accordingly: and
SO far from it being a crime to make
the season festive by enjoying, on q
little extended scale perhaps, the
creature comforts of life, some decided
good is done to both the mental and
physical health Of the individual.
The festive season may, therefore
be welcomed which brings cheer to
thousands, which induces the generous
and charitable to brace the mental and
physical functions Of the community
at large. giving it the opportunity Of
relinquishing its business and lts woF-
ries for time, to start again re.
freshed and ready for the trivial
round, the common task" The pre-
scription "A Merry Christmas' 70
sound so long as the "siguatsre" o.
good sense is observed.
