In such cases Dr. Graves recommends pills composed of a
grain of musk and two or three grains of Assafcetida, to be
taken two or three times a day. A change in the mode of life,
involving entering upon new cares and duties, will frequently
effect a complete cure of Hysteria, which, it has been observed,
seldom attacks women of a vigorous mind. It is extremely de-
sirable that, in the education of young females, the bodily
powers should be well exercised and developed. Too little
attention is paid to this generally, and the consequence is that
a great many of our young women are weak and nervous, and
frequently subject to hysterical affections.
