Rubbing Cure.

It is impossible to find a simpler and more effectual remedy for nervous diseases than what is known as the Rubbing Cure—a cure within the reach of all. Nervous persons are in a disturbed electric state, and need the rubbing friction from another's hands to draw off the electricity which is in excess, or impart what is lacking to a healthy condition. Rubbing is the best anodyne that can be administered. It soothes and quiets the nerves, inducing sleep, which in turn invigorates the body. Again; rubbing is beneficial to invalids as a substitute for other exercise and outdoor life. Were rubbing generally resorted to in the case of persons suffering from overwork or nervous prostration, more cures would be wrought than the best physicians ever dreamed of in their philosophy.
