Excerpt from Nerves and Personal Power: Some Principles of Psychology as Applied to Conduct and Health
There was yet another purpose in this method of treatment of the subject of tuberculosis. Because of his illness, my brother had been deprived of all possibility of active service in the Great War. He knew full well what, as a consequence of war, the toll of tuberculosis was likely to be. Indeed, it was through exposure and illness in South Africa that his own physical constitution was first weakened and thereby rendered a prey to subsequent infec tions. His aim was to help those who, like himself, had known something of active service in the field, and who, through the vicissitudes of war, might be brought into single-handed conflict against disease. He had experienced and understood the 1 contrast, facing death in action with a world ou-looking, and facing it in a long drawn-out battle of inaction, in isolation, and with none of war's recognitions or rewards. In his high purpose he succeeded beyond expectation. He lived to receive from mdre than one military hospital, and from, many an invalided soldier, expressions of profoundest gratitude.
