Excerpt from War-Time Nerves The war holds tremendous possibilities for the men and women who are available for serv ice or who can work at home in some useful capacity. I want to say a word, not so much for those who are actually sick and disabled, as for those who for some more or less obscure reason cannot keep up with the procession of life. In these days of accomplishment there is a sharpened and painful contrast between the active and the passive, the effective and the ineffective. The so-called nervous invalid or the constitutionally feeble find that the war, far from simplifying, actually complicates ex istence. They cannot understand why they are unequal to the emergency.
