They grow anxious for their husbands, and conjure up accidents, analyso, their feelings, and lose their power of will. A woman who continually studies herself, her wants, and desires, her ailments, and loneliness is on a fair road to an asylum did she but know it. Imaginative children also have a tendency in the same direction, and should bo sent to play with merry companions. The cure of house nerves is simple if people would only follow it. It does not lie in medicine or doctors, but in visitin!; others, long walks in the open air and sunshine, and the repression of every morbid thought as it arises.
