Nervousness.

NGEVUuSucSS'
NERVOUS persons have feeling
Of weakness. They tire easily.
They become discouraged readily.
They switch from one passing occu-
patton to another. They sleep spas
medically.
The tired feeling resulting from this
dissipation of energy leads them to
believe that their nerves are exhaust
ed This almost universal agreement
among nervous persons as to their
general condition has created the
popular notion that nervousness Is
the direct result of weak nerves"
This popular notion, like most pop
ular notions, is generally mistaken
one. The usual cause of nervous
ness is an accumulation of bad hab-
Its in meeting ones ordinary prob
lens. 1t is true that some organic
disturbance, such as glandular un-
balance, chronic indigestion, sinus in
fection and the like may contribute
to the creation of a condition called
nervousness. Such factors are indi-
rect. They lead to misapprehension
about the future and in this way pro-
mote persistent non-adjustments to
ordinary work situations. The habit
of running away from situations
rather than facing them Is gradually
established. The result is general
disposition called nervousness.
