Quakers Never "Nervous." It is not in my memory that a pro- fessing Quaker ever came Into my bands to be treated for nervousness. if the opinion I have already stated so often ts correct, namely, that want of control of the emotions and the over- expression of the feelings are prime causes of then the fact that discipline of the emotions 1s a les- son eatly and constantly taught by Friends would beip to account for the infrequency of this disorder among them and add emphasis to the belief in such causation.--From "Self Help for Nervous Women," sy Dr. Kearsley Mitchell A Remarkable Man.
