The Nerve Racking Pace That Causes "Americanitis"
Nervous breakdowns are increasing as a result of the American worry phobia.
This high tension Americanitis presumes too much upon nature, by persistently forcing the nerves to carry loads far beyond their capacity.
So many people are pleasure mad, they become so deadened by excess of enjoyment and indulgence that ordinary pleasure is uninteresting. They seek unnatural excitement, original methods and unusual activities to appease the appetite. Then they become blasé and constitutional pessimists.
