"Wear and Tear or Hints for the Overworked" is an essay by the American physician and writer S. Weir Mitchell on the topic of changes in the American style of living and nutrition. According to the author, the American society of the late 19th century became more obsessed with success and, thus, started to overlook such essential matters as nutrition and rest, both spiritual and physical. As a result of the quick tempo of life and bad food habits, the Americans started gaining weight, and it was a more obvious year after year compared to other nations, such as the English.

Excerpt from Wear and Tear: Or Hints for the Overworked HE rate of change in this country in edu cation, in dress, and in diet and habits of daily life surprises even the most watchful American observer. It is now but twenty-five years since this little book was written as a warning to a restless nation possessed of an en ergy tempted to its largest uses by unsurpassed opportunities. There is still need to repeat and reinforce my former remonstrance, but I em glad to add that since I first wrote on these subjects they have not only grown into impor tance as questions of public hygiene, but vast changes for the better have come about in many of our ways of living, and everywhere common sense is beginning to rule in matters of dress, diet, and education.

Many years ago[2] I found occasion to set before the readers of Lippincott's Magazine certain thoughts concerning work in America, and its results. Somewhat to my surprise, the article attracted more notice than usually falls to the share of such papers, and since then, from numerous sources, I have had the pleasure to learn that my words of warning have been of good service to many thoughtless sinners against the laws of labor and of rest. I have found, also, that the views then set forth as to the peculiar difficulties of mental and physical work in this country are in strict accordance with the personal experience of foreign scholars who have cast their lots among us; while some of our best teachers have thanked me for stating, from a doctor's stand-point, the evils which their own experience had taught them to see in our present mode of tasking the brains of the younger girls.
