Force Vs. Work: Some Practical Remarks on Dietetics in Disease
Excerpt from Force Vs. Work
It is unnecessary to repeat here what has elsewhere been so fully and forcibly stated as to the manifold symptoms which re sult from the defective assimilation, the diffused tissue irritation and the circulation of abnormal elements in the blood. I wish however to make special allusion to the great frequency with which out of such causes there is gradually evolved the com plicated condition to which of late it is becoming the habit to apply the name of neurasthenia, and which is too often regarded as the result of pure nervous exhaustion from overwork and as therefore requiring for its relief simply tonics, rest and high feeding.
