,r7 culinary sort of nerson.-that is, an individual
of considerable mind, but whose mental capacities
are unsrained and so partially undeveloped suffers
from this reculiar fact in most distressing degree
No doubt isays the best physical authority one-haf
the ills that flesh is heir tn superinduced by the
fancy Of the sufferer alone. Hundreds have died by
mere symptoms of cholera, yellow fever and plague,
induced by sheer dread and fear Of those terrible
maadies
A case is recorded wherein fe1on condemned to
death by pblebotomy had bis arm laid bare to he
shoulder and thrust through hole IN the par'tlon,
while he was fast bound to the opposite SIDE the
hidden executioner upon the other side applied the
lancet TO his arm with click The poor culPnt heard
the muddy stream oupouring and soon growing
weaker and fainter he fell into a swo0n and died
when the fact was not drop of boob had been she'd
surgeon having merely snapped his lancet upon the
arm and continued to pour small stream OF water
over the limb and into a basin!
Another case in pint " was that of Philadelphia
amateur butcher, who in placing the meat upon a
hook slipped, and hung himself instead of his beef
upon the barbed point. His agony was intelise-he
was quickly taken down and CARRIE to physicians
Office, and so great is pain On imaginaton) that
he cried piteously upon every motion made by the
doctor in cutting the and shirt sleeve from the
wounded arm When at last The arm vas barred
not scratch was there The hook point had merely
grazed along the SKIN, and torn his shir sleeve!
will not multiply The various lacts extant in
proof of the force exercised by mis- ERECTED imagin-
alton, but will mention so Iud crouSIy i'm.
