The Nervous Climax

May 16, 1938

The Nervous Climax

 

 Antidote for lunatics.

 

Go on, my dear Americans, whip your horses to the utmost—Excitement; money! politics!—open all your valves and let her go—going, whirl with the rest—you will soon get under such momentum you can’t stop if you would. Only make provision betimes, old States and new States, for several thousand insane asylums. You are in a fair way to create a nation of lunatics.” – Walt Whitman

 

Walt Whitman

 

…The popular tobacconist, says that he was troubled with weak and
intermittent action of the heart, was sleepless, nervous and losing
flesh. Three boxes of Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills completely cured him. ”
