NEURASTHENIA

A decidedly heterogeneous group
of disorders all characterized by
exhaustion with the absence of
any organic disease, are usually
spoken of as neurasthenia, nervous
exhaustion, or nervous prostration.
Easily fatigued is one of the first
symptoms noted. This may be
mental or physical or both.
In other words, neurasthenia is
a condition in which the victim
imagines that there is something
wrong with his body organs and
their function. This imagination
is real to him and as a result, it
is the cause of feeling of weak
ness and a feeling of inability to
carry on.
The cause of this condition may
be an inherited instability of the
nervous system or an acquired one
due to overwork, emotional stress
and strain, minor injuries, ex-
hausting conditions as chronic in
toxications and prolonged con-
valescence from infective fevers,
etc.
The patient makes many sub
jective complaints and careful
examination fails to reveal suf-
icient evidence for the complaints.
Representatives, and weakness
and fatigue fail to disappear under
usual limits of rest. The mental
depression is far out of proportion
to the actual physical health.
Tenderness over various areas, eye
and ear Representatives, cause
various peculiar complaints. In
fact, there is no organ of the body
that escapes complaint by various
Inconsistencies.
The important thing is to be
sure that there is actually nothing
wrong before such a person is put
in this class.
The treatment consists of educa-
ton, persuasion, at times isola-
ton, massage, occupational Their
apy, and forced feelings. Each
individual case of course differs.
The Phyllis Wheatley Auxiliary

evening, Sept. 10, at P. M, with
dinner meeting at the house.
Notices have been mailed to the

free to all who call in or mail back

President Roosevelt's promise of
a breathing spell" for business,
with its immediate encouraging eff
iect all over the country, is being
subjected to more careful scrutiny
by politicians of all parties and
varieties than any other recent
document from the President's pen.
Replying to a letter of inquiry
from Roy W. Howard, head of a
great newspaper chain, the Presi-
dent said, in substance, that the
Administration was through with
its effort at reform, and intended
to concentrate its energies on re-
covery. Naturally, the supporters
of the Administration hail this as a
statesmanlike ~utterance, while its
opponents look upon it as a we'll
timed piece of political strategy.
Regardless of how one views the
Presidential declaration, it certainly
has stimulated discussion of future
political events, especially Of the
campaign of 1886.
There is no doubt that the Ad-
ministration forces are trying to.
consolidate their position, particu-,
larly in the matter of Federal fin
ances. Very earnest attention is.
being given to the plans looking
toward balancing the budget with
in a reasonable time, and the grad
ual tapering off Of relief expendi-
lures. Now that Congress itself
has had a brief breathing SPELL" y
sober consideration of issues that
must be met at the next session in
dictate that bringing Federal income
and expenditures into balance is 60
ing to be quite a job.
Democrats and Republicans alike,
Senators and Representatives, are in
substantial agreement hat the
bonus bill will be enacted at the
next session. 1t probably will not
be the Patman bill, which provides
for an issue of unsecured greenback
currency with which to pay off the
veterans claims, but more like the
Winston bill, calling for a bond issue
of above $4,000, ooo, 900, thereby
adding that sum to the Federal ex-
penditures.
FARM MORTGAGE OUTLOOK
Many members of both Houses
s~aoEboshnaajor paroles Believed
that the next session will sex the
passage of the Frazier-Lemake farm
mortgage relief bill. This measure
carries an appropriation Of $3,0oo,-
O0o, 900, to be lent to distressed
farmers to take up real estate and
chattle mortgages.
Borrowers under this plan would
have 4S years in which to repay
the loans, which would bear only
l IL percent interest. Since the
amount proposed to be appropriat-
ed would take up only about one
fourth of such mortgages, the feel
ing is expressed that once the plan
were in operation the demand from
the remaining three-fourths of the
farmers would be irresistible and
the Government would be COM
mitted to a far greater debt than it
has yet incurred.
But regardless Of this Congress
sional outlook, the general feeling
in Washington is that the President
meant it when he said that he had
no further social reforms to advo-
cate. The breathing spell" will
give an opportunity to see how the
reform measures already enacted
work out In practice. g
