Fear and Disease

E. H. CARMAN.

The North Georgia Citizen

THE following, published in Health and written by G. F. Meachen, M.D., is full of significance to all who will study and profit thereby.

"Fear causes more diseases than do microbes, more deaths than famine, more failures than panics; it costs more than war, is always a failure, and is never necessary. Fear weakens the heart's action, induces congestion, invites indigestion, produces poison through decomposing foods and is thus the mother of auto-poisoning, which either directly causes or greatly aids in the production of quite ninety percent of all our diseases."

Heartily concurring in the above opinion from this eminent physician, and congratulating the world on the fact that its doctors are awakening to the truth that largely our troubles are mental, I offer a few comments and suggest a remedy, which the doctor failed to do.
