Excerpt from Mental Therapeutics: And Other Papers Man's mental state is responsible for many of his sensations. An emotion can make him happy or unhappy; it may cause him to blush or blanch, to perspire freely and to shake with fear; it may fill his mouth with saliva or dry it in an instant; and it may suddenly stop his digestion. It is claimed that intense emotion can turn the hair gray in a few hours. It may cause a sudden intense pain in the head or else where; may make the pulse irregular, and the heart to beat with such violence as to rupture a cerebral vessel; and it may cause death by the sudden giving out of the few remaining museu lar fibres of a degenerate heart. On the other hand, an emotion may drive away pain and discomfort, indigestion and sleeplessness, and turn grief into joy, and make a change in the governing impulse to action that may continue through life.
