Do you not think it worth while to re-quote the following quotation from Eulenberg, a distinguished German neurologist? It is quoted in the New York Medical Record.
The predominance of hysteria among women depends ultimately far more upon the social conditions to which they are subjected, than upon uterine catarrh and erosions. These conditions combine to arrest energy of will and independence of thought in women; to suppress impartial comparison of their own individuality with external objects; to restrain or suspiciously supervise all impulses to free action; and especially to obstruct and oppose an emancipation from the limits of a narrow and trivial existence. To these circumstances are due precisely the most severe, extended, and incurable cases of hysteria.
