Then there is the neurasthenic the mentally collapsed whose collapse invariably comes from too great tension or worry. I know several housewives who became neurasthenic by too great anxiety to keep their houses spotless. Not a speck of dust must be anywhere.
And yet in actual expenditure of force, either mental or physical, what Isabelle did or any of her acquaintance did was not enough to tire healthy, full-grown women. There was maladjustment somewhere. What ailed this race that was so rapidly becoming neurasthenic as it flowered?
"He sure did," remarked the Honourable George, with a palpable effort to speak the American brogue. "A most flighty beast he was nerves all gone I dare say a hopeless neurasthenic." And then when I would have rebuked him for so shamefully disappointing the ladies of the Onwards and Upwards Society, he began to tell me of the public house he had just left.
Certainly there exists a constitutional neurasthenia sometimes but we have hardly a right to deny that overstrain in the brain activity may produce a series of neurasthenic symptoms in any brain, and the special predisposition is responsible rather for the particular selection among the innumerable symptoms. Neurasthenia certainly is the classical ground for the psychotherapist.
He was born at Hayden Bridge, near Hexham, Northumberland, July 19, 1789. His father, Fenwick Martin, a fencing-master, held classes at the Chancellor's Head, Newcastle. Verily, as Lombroso hath it, "A hundred fanatics are found for a theological or metaphysical statement, but not one for a geometric problem." The Martin stock was, without doubt, neurasthenic.

The thought of the Rachel he knew mysterious, fugitive, neurasthenic established normally across a breakfast table, smiling a normal good-bye at him with her arms normally about his neck, was a contrast that sharpened his desire.
Even the working-man may have suppressed desires, you see, and lace curtains and victrolas may stand not only for the improvidence of the poor, but for the neurasthenic yearnings of the rich. Talk about the economy of Nature! Why, nothing in the universe, not even the civilization of man, has ever equalled her indecent prodigality!"
I would like to wager that if we had the newspapers of that date that came into this house, we would find a particularly atrocious and mysterious murder being featured the murder of a woman." "You do not know her," I maintained doggedly. And drew, as best I could, a sketch of Miss Emily, while he listened attentively. "A pure neurasthenic type," was his comment.
It's very interesting, and and if you'll forgive me very touching." "Thank you." "If you decide to stay in San Remo, I will Do you suppose I could get a room in this hotel? I don't like mine." "Why, I haven't any doubt you can. Shall we ask?" It was from the Hotel Sardegna that Lanfear satisfied his conscience by pushing his search for climate on behalf of his friend's neurasthenic wife.
