Exhausted Nerves and their Treatment.
Of fourteen cases that I have completely secluded as a method of treatment in nerve exhaustion, not one has done well. I have found it better to plan a series of amuse, naents and a course of passive exercise, to. gether with frequent feeding. My business men take two hours daily at the health lift, where the exercise, together with massage and jolly company, proves Btrong enough attraction to call them away from their regular occupations every day. They drink a tumbler of milk at a dairy or bowl of bouillon at a pharmacy every two hours. In these days of extracts of beef, mutton, chicken, clam, etc., there is no need for any one who can pay for them to go hungry. Even sightseeing—that most exhausting of labours —may be rendered less fatiguing by feeding every two hours, if it be with only a tumbler of milk. Plenty of digestible food and two hours stolen from the middle of a busy day, are the beat remedies for nervous exhaustion. —Dr. W. F. Hutchinson.
