NKRyoUH I 'HOSTIt ATI < > N
Tt?o Danger Slunals? Value of Out
door Occu|>atlon.
v Nervous prostration Jh a more or
less complete collapse of the ner
vour HyHtein. It occurs when the
?sufferer hns urged himself bfyond
the limit Of his nervous endurance.
It in most oomnion in early or mid
dle life, when the nervous system
is moHt constantly taxed. When it
occurs in the very young, excessive
work at school is Konerally the
cause. When It comes on late* in
life it fa because the struggle for
existence* is proving too severe.
The breakdown is not always
caused by actual overwork. Some
times it means, in old-fashioned
phrase, that "the candle is being
burned lit both ends.'' Only very
strong people can work hard and
keep late hours as well. The man
of average physical powers ~ must
make up his mind to devote himself
to his work and get his recreation
in healthful occupation outdoors.
As a means of rest and amusement
for the tired business or profession
al man nothing is better than a
quiet game of golf ? -not taken too
seriously.
Nervous prostration does not de
clare Itself without warning. There
are many danger signals. It may
be no longer possible to accomplish
the usual' quantity or quality of
work because of impaired
memory or loss of the power of
concentration; peevish Irritability
and a tendency to constant fault
finding may appear in a person for
merly equable and serene; headache
may return each day at abottt the
same time - that Is to say, as soon
as a certain degree of fatigue. Is
reached; there may bo nervous indi
gestion and the simplest food may
cause distress. In some cases ? the
mental depression. Is so ?reat that
a strong man at the least provoca
i tion will burst into tears like a
I girl.
Most cases of nervous, prostration
could have been prevented if taken
in time. The ordinary man is intelli
gent. enough to recognize within -hint
self the many signs of overstrain,
and there are few so driven bycir
eumstancos that they cannot if they
I choose relax a little and eva<& the
coining trouble. ? ' ?
If another hour is added to the
night's sleep, another mile added to
the daily walk, an occasional day
'deliberately taken for complete rest,
an Interesting bobby taken up, the
habit ot' worry firmly checked, the.
nervous system will quickly right
itself. Worry is the greatest, spend
thrift of nervous force. We should
all learn to be as obstinate about
"ot worrying as we often are about
worrying unnecessarily. Youth's
Companion.
