PSYCHIC CAUSES OF DISEASE

| PSYCHIC CAUSES OF DISEASE
The human mind has many powers
which we are just beginning to UNI
derstand. 1t is intimately connected
through the brain and nervous sys-
tenn to every part of the human body.
We know that the mind can have a
powerful stimulating effect toward
either health or disease. When the
mind is properly used and controlled
health may be maintained under
many adverse conditions, but when
the mind is torn by conflicting de-
structive emotions, it kills the very
cells it is supposed to guard over
and control. Some of our thinking
is conscious, but by far the greater
part is unconscious and can only be
felt through our emotions.
When ore is happy or enthusiastic.
one can digest meal of rich foods
in wrong combinations and suffer
few bad after effects; if one is de-
pressed, sorrowful or worried, even
the best of foods may lie heavily up
on the stomach.
In health the normal wastes from
tissues are expelled quickly. because
they would otherwise be poisonous
to the body, but when the nervous
system is run down or upset, one
lacks the needed vital force to ex-
pei them. So you can see that any
thing which you DO to waste your
nervous force will cause retention
of these poisons and their gradual

The powerful. unpleasant emotions
always result in a toxic poisoning of

TOO BUSY TO SMILE

Charles M. Schwab, foregathering at Biloxi Miss,
with other steel magnates tells reporters that among
the lec-ons that life has taught him there has been
nothing much more valuable than the Importance Of
the slogan, keep smiling"
"Ah, that is the thing" says Mr.. Schwab. BE happy
boys. Enter into your work good naturedly. If you
succeed laugh. But better STILL if you fail laugh, too"
This coming from one Of the countrys leading indus
trialsts must be accepted sage advice Yet it rep
resents philosophy, popular it may be in this
country, in which Americans do not really believe.
Ever since the Declaration of Independence, there
abOuts have prded ourselves national sense

and we aren't really very light-hearted.
The pioneer humor of the country had kind of gaunt
grim duality to it, if laughter were only the momen-
tary easing of great tension. Nearly all of jokes
built about stories of someone's misfortune That
traditional American humor" has never had much to
do with quiet tolerant smiles 1t is apt to be

Today it is the same. Our favorte clown is Charlie
Chaplin and in his pictures, this chap goes continually
from buffeting to another. He exists only to be
kicked by fate. His comedies easily could be made into
tragedies.

humorists. Life is too intense and real We have toe
much to do The American who makes failure of any

and retain his sunny happiness; instead he grts his

Jerry was as excited and happy
as though she'd had on the latest

to her satisfaction to know that
she owned q good looking new

Sometimes this process is so insid-
ious as to be unrecognized except by
the closest intention of a skilled
diagnostician. In my practice, l
have seen a number of cases of par
alysis which were induced by slight
injury associated with fear. AL
though these patients had been to
many different doctors and UNDER
gone many different types of treat
ment. they were not cured until this
fear factor was recognized, and then
the cures took place almost instant

reason for some of the so-called mir
