Halth ' NP-CltASTilHNlA ' When a physician says that a pa tient is suffering from neurasthenia, nervous debility or nervous exhaus tion, usually he means a form of psychologic disorder with which are associated a variety of symptomsi On the physical side the neuras thenic may complain of a whole cat alog of diseases.- Most commonly he prcsentB a picture of debility, or weakness at time amounting to true exhaustion. Since this condition was first de scribed moro than 00 years ngo, the tendency has been to charge neuras thenia to what is vaguely called "clv- llt.atlon." ... . That hurry, bustle, and tho drivo of the present day do consume our energies to a greater extent than did the relatively quiet life of our an cestors Is not to be donlcd. But beyond thisi there Is behind tho neurasthenic either a deflnlto psychologic problem or else there Is a true- physical condition - which ex hausts him constitutionally. Tho neurosthentc who fatigues readily, Is depressed, discouraged, complains of indefinite pains at the base of his skull or over his eyes, of a vague senso of 111 case throughout his body and Is a sick person even though no definite pathology can be demonstrated. ' Tho neurasthenic needs, to begin with, a very careful physical exam ination to exclude the presence of foci or Infection and of Infectious diseases. ' . " Where no physical causes adequate to account for tho neurasthenia are discovered, It must be assumed that tho neumsthenlc is a victim of psy chic disturbances such as unconscious fears and anxieties, cravings for pro tection and sympathy, on inborn sense of guilt. True fatlguo may be- doveloped by tho neurasthenic from uncontrolled worry. In fact, tho neurasthenic finds himself In a' vicious iclrclo .In which anxiety drives, him to a stato .of "nerve exhaustion" in turn fostering his "anxiety." .

This virus Is then trcntod with formaline (Just the right amount of formaline to kill the virus and no more) and the resulting mlxturo or emulsion is then injected Into tho brains of healthy monkovs to determine whether It will Infect them. Dr. Brody found It' will nojt. The next step Is vaccination, the introduction of the vaccine through the skin of other monkeys .in an at tempt to render them Immune from tho disease. Dr. Brody discovered that many developed what he called 1 "pretty good Immunity." 1 Tho monkey experiment Is its final I phase. The human phoso lies In the future. (iou lmrrK i'nchanoki) WASHINGTON.
