Worry and Health

WORRY prostrates more people than work, and mental worry, whether real or imaginary, is one of the worst foes to health, for it affects the action of every organ of the body through the well-known law of the mind over matter. It throws the whole physical machinery out of gear, and renders our best efforts abortive. But very often the worry itself is due to the action on the blood of a poison generated by the ferment of undigested foods which some sluggish organ has allowed to pass into the alimentary canal.—Selected.
