Show Wnnip Who Uhto Marvcs. New York ltecordnr. The tuusical director of a big gymnasium gymna-sium was talking yesterday about women's uervous worries and woes. "Physical deformitiesaud deficiencies," said he, "such as lateral curvature of Uk) spine, wry necks and stoop shoulders shoul-ders aud diseases of tho digestion, are quite as common among men as among women, perhaps more so. But nerv ous troubles are far more usual with womeu aud they seem to be increasing every year in frequency. "Take a woman who has been w hipping hip-ping herself up to her work aud her pleasures with drugs and stimulants till lite system vill no longer respond. I!y and by she goes all to pieces and seems to be the most helpless wreck living. Sometimes she really is a wreck and sometimes she has courage enough to try to puil herself together again. The cyinuasiuius are full of such women. They have to begin at the very beginning begin-ning and give themselves soul and body to the task of regeneration." "And they succeed ?" "Oh. welt, that depends. If they have sense enough to let drills alone when they find themselves in shape to Blurt their social life again, they may do very well; but tho chances are they oniy go the same course a second time." |
