“Sobbing Sickness”
One Result Of War
By Julian Grande
During the wax I have been several
I lime* in England. Prance end Italy,
but since the armistice I have been
obliged to remain here, in the heart of
Europe. Consequently I cannot say
how the war seems to have affected
the people either in my own country
or in the United States. If. however,
I were asked how it has affected peo
ple on the Continent generally. I
should say that it has made them more
• nervoucs. and some of them even ner
vous wrecks.
Perhaps nowhere was this more no
■
ticeable than at the meetings of the In
ternational Socialist Labor Congress,
attended by delegates ~0"' tw ntv-sev
en countries. I have spoken to dele
gates from most o? these lands, and
there was not a single one who did
not show signs of extreme nervousness.
Either he was constantly clasping and
unclasping his fingers, or he was fidg
eting in his chair, or constantly blink
i ing his eyes. Moreover, if I asked one
or other to jot down something for me
i on paper. I noticed that his hand posi
tively trembled as he wrote; and when
j p. delegate addressed the Congress he
usually exhibited still more marked
signs of overstrained nerves. Several
delegates to whom I spoke volunteered
the information that they 3lept very
! badly at night, and this testimony was
j quite independent, for not one knew
| what the others had been saying to
tne. To some I suggested that perhaps
they were doing too much mental
work. "So." was the reply, “even the
laboring classes in our country are not
! j sleeping well just now."
In Austria, tor instance, tile people
| are suffering from what may be called
a sobbing sickness, which is the re
sult primarily of nervousness. Both
[ and very often continue sobbing in
men and women suddenly begin to sob,
and very often continue sobbinv in
i their sleep. Some doctors seem to
1 think this malady is due to unwhole
J some food, which causes stomach dila
tat ion; oters attribute it to nervoUS
• ness alone. In some cases this nervous
nes* has become so acute that people
have attacks in the night not Unlike
- epileptic fit. The sufferer begins by
feeling a choking sensation, then cries
out, and finally becomes quite uncon
. scious. very often remaining so for
’ twenty minutes or even halt an hour,
after which he falls into a deep sleep.
Afterward he remembers nothing what
j ever about what has happened to him.
The result of thissobbing sickness and
these attacks is, of course, still further
j to weaken a people already very great
j tv enfeebled’
Another effect of the prevailing
j nervousness is naturally to make peo
■ r-le far more irritable than usual; and
the physical weakness combined with
the overwrought state of their nerves
also makes them disinclined for effort
j or exertion. Religion, it is significant,
seems to have lost all influence over
' ’.hem. So: only have adults become
cartless and indiffereln? a3 regarc
morality, as it proved by the grave in
creases of certain diseases, with which
’he medical authorities no longer!
' know how to cope, but the condition '
j of the children in the cities and towns,
particularly of Austria, is distressing
: beyond words. For example, the nnm-'
ber of offenses against the law com
1 mitted by children and young persons'
• under IS in Vienna alone was in 1913,'
j 7 8S3, but in 1917 14.029—a nearly 78
oer cent increase. And now it is
: scarcely possible to keep count of
; thefts and other misdemeanors of
which even young children are guilty.
Again, the children often cannot be
’ made to attend school, and the youths
cannot be induced to do any work. The 1
j children play truant for days and
weeks together, and the youths leave
their work for any trivial reason or I
1 none. j
Children and young people are con
. stantly quarreling until they come to
| blows; they have no respect for their
teachers, parents, or elders; they in
; suit and abuse older persons and even
spit at them sometimes and threaten
violence. Thieving, however, is the
I commonest offense. Some children no
doubt steal because they are hungry,
twit this is not always the motive, and
at present in Vienna there is an epi
demic of thieving as well a3 of nervous
ness. and there are even organized
gangs of child thieves in the Austrian i
• capital.
The other <lay Dr. Waltz, Roman
Catholic Bishop of Innsbruck, (who, by
. tbo way, used to be the spiritual ad
! visor to the former Austrian Emper
or,) t Id me that the English and A*
[ mericans ought to send troops to Vien-1
r-a. tu. in my view it is rather medical
missionaries who are needed, and ow
ig to the present extreme prevalence
of disease in the Ansuiaa Capital I
; should be very sorry indeed for any of
i our troops to be sent thither.
lu Poland nervousness and nervous
' prostration have become so appalling
l that very few mothers give birth to
children capable of surviving. Thus,
at the maternity hospital of Lemberg
in two months only one infant surviv
ed out of ninety-one bom, andpeople
ore daily perishing from hunger. This
interesting old city with its cathedrals
and universities lias now 'become for
lorn and desolate, and what is true
of it is true of the rest of Poland and
Austria.
To add to the scourges of nervous
ness and sobbing sickness, infantile i
scurvy, caused by bad milk, is greatly
increasing among young children in
Austria. Even those who are suppos
ed to >be free from any specific disease
have as a result of nervousnes strain, i
sobbing sickness and underfeeding,
lost weight. Adults, for instance, have
'ost from 22 to 44 pounds; occasion-'
ally as much as SO pounds. Children
of one year admitted to one of the
leadintr Viennese children's hospitals
in ISIS weighed on an average 9 1-4
nouuds too little in the case of boys,
snd over 6 3-4 pounds too little in the
"rse of "iris. IVhat the future genera
tion will be no one dares to think.
The unnrof'tableness of war. which
4s one of tile main contentions of Pro
te«sor Nicolai's “Biology of War” —
that war does not nay—is assuredly
nnnenrine with only too painful clear
ones to everv dweller in tile heart of
Europe todav. Most painful of all.
t-owever. is the way in which his Con
tention that war is morally deteriorat
'■'e >s being borne out. ami its truth
nroved over and over again. 'War,
in short, has ceased to he a paying
| concern,'' he says. “War has no hene
'•etai meets on national wel'being. It
nether raises nation’s standard of
civilization nor Unlifts national sent!-;
•00111. In other -words, as the Psalm-,
ist nuts it. ‘He hath scattered the peo
n,“ that delight in war’ ”—NVw York'
Times.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?
It’s usually a sign of sick kidneys,
especially if the kidney action is dis
ordered, passages scanty or too fre
ouent. Don’t wait for more serious
troubles. Begin using Doan’s Kidney
pi!ls. Read this convincing testimony
Mrs. Gus Andreas, 243 W. Fifty- |
eight St„ S., Seattle, Wash., says:
"What caused my kidneys to get out.
of order, I don’t know. Across the i
small of my back and over my kid-:
neys, sharp pains caught me all the
*ime. "Dizzy spells annoyed me a lot,
too, and I always felt tired out and
languid. I used different kidney
-emedies but wasn’t helped until I used
Dean's Kidney Pills. In a short time j
Doan's had removed the trouble and I
have felt fine ever since.”
