SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Louis E. BischI
Famous Authority ON Health and
PsychOiOgY


Famous Authority ON Health and
Psychology
It is more essential to a
woman's health that she express
her feelings than 1t is to a mans.
This Is, because woman is
more emotional than man, and,
quantitatively speaking. she pos
sesses more emotion than a man.
1t is a fact. for instance, that
girls begin to talk a month or
two earlier than boys. This docs
not have as much TO do with in
telligence ability as ii does with
the necessity of the female to
express herself, to form contacts.
and to expand her nature as
quickly and as thoroughly as pos
sible.
The talking and gossiping ten
denotes of women. so often joked
about, spring from the same
causes. Women throughout their
lives feel the constant need Of
seeking others and being with
others in order to be happy.
The insistent feminine urge to
express feeling is also evidenced
in the kindergarten age. when lit
tie girls, without embarrassment,
make advances to the boys, pet
them, and talk of them as being
sweethearts, while the little boys
on their part remain quite indif-
ferent and even shun the girls.
The strong ernotionalism in
women also accounts for their
sociability.
A woman loves friends and she
wants to have ais many friends
as she can. "A man Is much more
careful in choosing friends. Often
he is quite content without
friends. A woman, however, feels
isolated, alone and unwanted
without them.
The letter-writing habit OF some
women Is also explainabIe on this
same basis Of her desire to ex-
press feeling and to make con-
facts.
Women do not hesitate to tell
others how they feel, what the
state Of their feelings and emo
tions may be. Often, therefore,
despite social conventions. a wom-
an finds it difficult to hide her
real love for a man.
And when she does express
such love she does it beautifully.
She finds words which describe
it well. A man, on the other
hand, fumbles for words to ex-
press his love and often he is
just a wee bit ashamed of
deep love feeling which he may
look upon as a weakness.
Women will exchange conf
dences concerning the most inti-
mate things that a man would
never think Of doing.
Women are so emotional that
they respond emotionally to the
emotional experiences of others.
Nor do women like plays or
books which do not deal with
feeling. They may understand a
mathematical treatise and even
enjoy 1t, but that is exceptional.
They enjoy such purely intellec-
tual pursuits when someone they
love is interested in them. But
they do not read such books from
choice.
Women never prosper as they
should if outlets for their emo
tions are not supplied in abund-
ance.
This Is important to remember
in the rearing of girls as well as
in trying to keep women happy.
