Pinneo's Grammar possesses many excellencies.
Its definitions are short, lucid. comprehensive.
philosophical. Continual exercises in analysis and
composition form a distinguishing feature ct the
work Pupils who shall have mastered i, will

POWER OF IMAGINATION.

DR.. Holland has very ably pointed out the eff
fects of mental attention on the bodily organs,
showing that there are few persons who do not
experience irritation or some imaginary feeling
in parts to which their attention is much direct
ed. If at night owing to some unusual posi-
ton, we feel beating at the heart or at the tenn
ples,we easily imagine there is something alarm
ing; the resprations are altered, If we think
about it: if we suppose Aie mouth is dry, we
immediately swallow the saliva, and render it so
if we fancy we have cough, we cough immedi-
ately, and clear the air passages, and if we sup
pose any source Of irritation exists on the skin,
we Involuntary apply our hand to and rub the
part Nothing is more common for medical stu
dents, when first studying individual diseases,
than to imagine themselves to be the victims OF
each in succession. Then, in certain conditions
of the system, it is we'll known that actual pain
may be produced in part by fixing our atten-
ton upon it. Hypochondriacs are martyrs to
these erroneous impressions. Supposed pain
in the limbs or stomach prevents their walking
or eating and their health suffers from want OF
exercise or want of food. Sir Benjamin Brodlc
has given some singular cases where SO called
nervous pains Of this description have actually
led to tenderness and swelling of the integu-
ments covering the part 1t may easily be un-
derstood how facts Of this kind may be made to
assume the appearance of prophecy, and how in
forming a valetudinarian that he will certainly
have rheumatic or neuralgia pain on any given
day, is likely to produce it.
Mr.. Macfarlan the druggist on the North
Bridge informed me, that on one occasion a
butcher was brought into his shop, from the
marketplace opposite, aboring under terrible
accident The man on trying to heokup heavy
piece of meat above his head, slipped and the
sharp hook penetrated his arm, so that he HIM
self was suspended On being examined, he
was pale, almost pulseess, and expressed him.
self rs suffering acute agony. The arm could
not be moved without causing excessive pain,
and in cutting off the sleeve he frequently cried
out yet when the arm was exposed, 1T was found
to be quite uninjured, the hook having only
traversed the sleeve Of his coat.
A clergyman told me, that some time ago sus-
picons were entertained in his parish of a wo-
man, who was supposed to have poisoned her
newly-born infant. The coffin was exhumed,
and the procurator-fiscal, who attended with the
medical men to examine the body, declared that
he already perceived the odor of decomposition,
which made him feel faint and in consequence
he withdrew. But on opening the coffin it was
found to be empty, and il was afterwards ascer-
tanned that no child had been born, and conse-
quently no murder had been committed
Numerous instances might be given where at
duels, or on other OCCASIONS individuals have
supposed themselves to be wounded, and fallen
down as if dead, without having received the
slightest injury.
