THE MEN WHO FAIL.
DOCTOR’S STUDY OF CAUSES. A nagging wife is one of the greatest causes of man’s failure, according to Dr. Bernard Hollander, an eminent Austrian-born and trained physician. He specialises in mental and nervous diseases. He has been a naturalised British subject since 1899. 1 Dr. Hollander was addressing the Ethical Society on “Why Men Fail.” He said that wives who are “dingers,” wives who are dominators and wives who are dull-witted, follow the naggers in that order as handicaps on husbands. Failure, said Dr. Hollander, follows ideas which are larger than the purse, the trusting of untrustworthy people and the setting of pleasure before duty. A man is bound to fail if he lacks a sense of humour, if he dawdles or worries, if he does not know how to approach others and if he cannot carry conviction and cannot take a rebuff. But the most important factor in the failure of men is marriage, said Dr. Hollander, who has made a special study of mind and character and deviations from the normal. He has collected a vast number of physiological and pathological facts concerning brain functions.
