How to Cure Worry

Q. How can one overcome a disposition to worry?

A. The man who worries because of the threatened collapse of an important business enterprise, to the building up of which his whole life has been devoted, may not be relieved until the threatened danger is averted or the crisis passed. The man who is suffering from phy­sical deterioration, because of chronic toxemia, must be renovated physically. Poison habits must be abandoned. A natural antitoxic diet­ary must be substituted for his customary poison-laden bill of fare. The bowels must, by nat­ural means, be made to move three or four times a day, thus ridding the body of the in­fluence of worry-producing poisons. There must be a complete revolution in living habits, and a thoroughgoing adoption of simple-life principles of living. By this means a general physical regeneration may be produced, with the development of which the disposition to worry will gradually disappear as the cause is removed, until finally a normal, happy mental state is es­tablished.

Diversion is one of the most valuable remedies for worry. Concentration of the attention upon some wholesome subject is of utmost import­ance as a means of combating worry, whether due to present physical or mental causes or merely habit. Constant occupation of some sort is essential as an aid to diversion. Manual work is best.

The Tonsils Q. Of what use are the tonsils and should they be removed? A. The tonsils are lymphatic glands. Their function is to protect the body against the great number of microbes which collect in the mouth. They are also connected with the functions which promote the growth and development of the body. Diseased tonsils are a constant menace to the body, proving an open door for the entrance of harmful organisms. Tuberculosis germs and other disease-producing bacteria often find their way into the body through the open portal pro­vided by diseased tonsils. The tonsils harbor disease germs, such as pneumonia and diptheria, also the germ of influenza or la grippe. These germs are lying there ready to develop whenever the vital resistance is lowered by cold, exhaus­tion, indigestion, or any other depressing cause. Diseased tonsils are often a cause of rheumatism and probably other serious maladies. Tonsils which frequently become raw or in­ flamed or which are constant...
