Ncrvrs l y Talking: Too Much.
1 have two or three patients who ar6
r with nenw« prostration and who
o^nld be curt ti if they would stop talk-
said a ninrve specialist the other
■lay. They waste their nerve tissue as
'ust as I can supply it, and they ure on
he verge cf hysterics and acute ner- )
■ous pain all the time. A woman, ll I
he be inclined to ulk too xuueli,should
„ime herself Just as she would take
nedioine, and allow herself only just
to many minutes of talk.
Now, the other day a wnro tn who n
xoubled with insomnia e*>ne i" ray
■tlice foi treatment. She had jeen
aking drugs. She told me about lier
roubles and her tongue rang like the ;
I tapper of a farmhouse bell at dinner 1
irae. I thought she never would let
io. Finally I stopped her.
"Do you talk as much o. that, very I
jften, madam?" I asked.
She drew herself up and <taid in an
offended tone, "This is no laughing j
natter, doctor, I tisyure you. I am ;
sorn out from lac'-: of sleep; and |
'.ho-igh my family di nil things possj-
;io to divert my tniud.and 1 makecal- j
sea people all the time X g«- stead,

And so her tongue rattled oo. unUi
• again had to stop her. ti .
"Now listen to my prescription, ) j
-.ai l. "Go home and keep still. Don !
;alt. Time your tongue waggings. At
breakfast allow your husbaivl to read
the newspaper without interruption ;
\fter breakfast sew a lit ti", in youi

olay. Exercise a little self-denial. It
t-ill be hard at firnt, fo* you aro a
■batterer, but if you persevere you
will succeed, and your nervous systsw j
will get rest." |
What did she say to that? We.l, I d«.
-ot think she liked it. Hut if she took ,
30 seriously I think I can cure her in
a month. ,v .. .
Do I have many such cases? Well, i
should say ' did! it is almost safe to
jeclare that there never a case oi

woman is a talker With « man it n

insanity, or complete loss of brain |
power, if his business goes wrong.
But the very nervous woman is «eldon

their clothing, hires the servants and
"keeps house." She has no real wor
ries But does she think she has? Oh,
dear, yes! She thinks she has more to
do than any other woman of her ao-
quaintance.
"Keep quiet a few hour* eveay day
and you will be a well woman," is
what I tell half my woman patients.
