The nervous woman, heaven pity her. .She makes herself and everybody around her perfectly miserableSometimes there’s a cause for the nervousness, and thep she’s to be pitied, and sometimes it’s just a habit one gets into of being unreason--able and fussy, and generally looking on the blue side of everything. When the nervous system gets out of order the whole system lags in sympathy. The digestive system, the liver and the heart all refuse to do their work. Every nervous woman should eat five or six times a day. She should eat three meals, have a lunch between meals, and never omit the warm drink taken just before she goes to bed. Gentle exercise and work are as necessary to the woman with nerves as food and fresh air. An active interest in life will be her salvation, but generally the woman in such a condition thinks she isn’t interested in a thing in life, so she must keep at work until she develops an interest

A celebrated, physician has said: “If you wish never to be nervous live with reason, have a purpose in life and work for it; play joyously, strive not for the unattainable, be not annoyed by trifles, aim to attain neither great knowledge nor great riches, be not self-centered, but love the good and thy neighbor as thyself.” A celebrated and charming actress, whose age it would be rude to chronicle, but who still looks quite young, though she is a grandmother, gives the following prescription for the preservation of youth and beauty: “You must work until you are tired, sleep until you are rested, have plenty of fresh air, live in cool rooms, take a daily sponge bath and eat the simplest food.” *
