cites the case of an old lady who "has always eaten much, and anything she wanted, and does yet; who knows nothing about chemistry of foods, consequently has no fear of results of eating; and yet she has been a victim to sick headache, nerves sad kindred troubles all her life,"
I should think so. Fear is not the only thing that causes such troubles. And fear of what one eats is not the only kind of fear that hinders digestion. The more fear of any kind one entertains the less food be can properly digest, for fear paralyzes digestive and other processes. Any fear.
But over-eating and wrong eating are at the bottom of all sick headaches. If one adds fear to over eating be suffers more and oftener, that's all. This same correspondent says she must have four meals a day, as she is "no good" with her stomach empty, and she can "work all around her daughter who eats half as much and sleeps twice as much,"
If she will cut her meals to two a day and fast thirty-six hours once a week, living thus, feelings or no feelings, for, say six weeks, doing it with a will, she will find herself doing still more work, with greater health and mental brightness than ever, and the gone feelings all gone for good. To merely assert that she must have four meals proves nothing. She will prove the opposite if she practices the new way.
