Stand up perfectly straight, with your feet close together and look at a point about ten feet straight ahead. If you sway from side :o side you may be sure that your nerves need the attention of a physician. Another test is to stand on one leg with the other leg bent at the knee. If you can stand perfectly still for five seconds without dropping the raised leg you are all right; but to drop it or sway {t Is one of the symptoms which, taken together, Indicate that you are in imminent danger of paresis.
