We Can't Be Healthy When We're Nervous
I
By CLAUD NORTH CHRISMAN, M,D.'
HAVE often wondered how many of the world's tragedies have come to pass because someone had a "queer" streak, which his family or friends thought only an idiosyncrasy, or turn of temperament.
No doubt the present unrest and the prevalent uncertainty in human affairs have done much to create an undone condition of mind and body health in the experience of many- After all, mental health and bodily health are inseparable, and private health must always be an attribute of public health. Deprived of al sense of security, which must be both menial and material, we soon find it hard to maintain either body or mental health. It puts an added burden on the medical profession, and opens the way to many quaek claims that are offered as substitutes In times of strain.
Stability Needed
No use to groan over the increas- ing number of suicides, and the additions being built to our insane asylums. The task is to take our-| selves, in hand, and make a study of what could be done to bring about greater stability in our Ilving and thinking habits.
