The Nervous System.
Copyright, 1921

Persons who have disease of the
nervous system are seldom nervous
in conduct or temperament. Indeed,
most such invalids are rather strik-

the unhappy other hand. persons who
use their nerves as an all-around

pie who are honest with or to them

There's a master of expression. the
man who first compared nervous

At any rate, one of our own doctors
employed the funk-hole idea two or
three years before this Harley street

Not. consciously or willfully. but by
sheer force of habit and bad dis
cipline, the neurotic individual seeks
hts funk hole rather than meet the
everyday trials of life.
In another talk I have risked the
loss of what little reputation for COM

that every man (not to question the
other sex) is more or less insane IN
the medical sense of the word. 1t Is
only when ones insanity progresses
to the legal limit that we take formal
cognizance of his irresponsibility.
Each OF US has his little obsessions,
delusions or hallucinations. Like
wise everybody uses q funk hole for

The truth is, if he had come out and

he was weak from lack OF food He
knew it and that is why he had not

Peter guessed this. You see Peter

with ice, and though he had never
