Diagnostic Pitfalls (Concluded)
"Neurasthenia." The real disease almost always shows itself in youth on the basis of congenital tendencies, though like tuberculosis it may be roused into active progress by any prolonged strain, mental or physical. When it appears after middle age it is almost always a symptom or oganic disease such as dementia, paralytica, chronic nephritis, arteriosclerosis, myxedema, hyperthyroidism or phthisis.
The incipient stages of the disease mentioned in the last sentence are rarely recognized. The same is true of gastric ulcer, pernicious anemia, leukemia, cirrhosis of the liver, congenital renal cysts, renal tuberculosis and many other diseases.--Cabot; J.A.M.A.
Weather Thawing Temp.
Snow nearly all gone in the roads. I took the girls to school, then their was a tea in the Baptis Church, so the girls stayed out and I went to the tea, and Mrs Thompson came home as far as her place with us. John was sawing wood all day, came down as far as Mr Thompsons and came home from there with us. Old Charley was to Aunt Bells for dinner & here for supper then went home. I painted the cupboard.
