He does a good deal of mental work; has mental strains and lead a sedentary life, found in prolonged office-work, over-study, and close application to business, with its cares and anxieties. This indoor life and mental strain seeks stimulants, coffee, wine, possibly in excess; or again, he hopes to quiet his excitement, by indulging in the sedative effects of tobacco if not really a victim to the seductive drugs, like Opium, etc. These things are associated with other indulgences; at table, he takes preferably rich and stimulating food; and wine and women play their part to make him forget the close application of the day. Late hours are a consequence; a thick head, dyspepsia, and irritable temper are the next day’s inheritance.
