About HydrOphObia.

In bis late work on the " Influence
of the Mind upon the Body" DIR. Luke
supports the hypothesis that hydro
phobic symptoms are often developed
without previous incubation. In illus
tration, he relates notable instance of
physician of Lyons, who, having as
sisted in the dissection of several VIC
tins of the disorder, imagined that he
himself had become inoculated. On at
tempting to drink, he was seized with
spasm of the pharynx, and jn this con-
dition roamed about the streets for
three days. At length his friends sue
ceedcd in convincing him of the ground
lessness of his apprehension, and he at
once recovered. DIR. Marx, German
physician, writing to the Clinic, re-
CARDS hydrophobia as morbid affec-
tion of the imagination induced by fear,
and, in support of his opinion, cites
some interesting cases which persons
unaware of the superstition have es-
capped the spasm.

One of the singular condolences con
nectcd with the status of the members
of the Iowa House of Representatives
this winter, is the fact that there are
thirty five Grangers among the Repub-
licans, and thirty-five among the Anti
Monopolists. The extraordinary di-
vision, therefore, is wholly outside and
independent of the grange element of
either side.
