PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCE IN
CURING DISEASES.
From the Medical Record.1

DR.. George VI. Beard read a paper on .Tbe
Influence of Mind in the Cau.a,on and Cure
of Diseases
Dr. Beard cited two cases of organic disease
of the spine which had received decided
temporary relief while sitting under blue
glass The opinion ~as expressed tina, in
time all works on therapeutics mnst include
chapter on mental therapeutics. From expert
ments and study, D., Beard was able to make
the following psychological suggestions:
Firt-1he ill success of patients treating
themselves, and of physicians treating theis
own families, was partly due TO the want Of
awe and the emotion of wonder TO cooperate
with them.
Sccond-The old custom Of keeping patients
ignorant of the contents OF prescriptions by
writing them in Latin had psychology on its
side. Possibly we may he going too far the
other way.
Third--ltis is entirely possible that hydropho-
bia and teienns may be brought on, with all
their distinctive symptoms, and tina, death
may result, through the emotions Of fear and
expectation alone.
Fourth-Patienis whose will and intellect
are feeble have bad prognoss, tor with them
the subjective symptoms are tifing, and vice
versa.
Fitih-Physicians Of great scientific ATTAIN
meni and real worth may fail when an igno-
rant and obscure charlatan succeeds; because
in the latter wonder and awe are excited. and
these are more powerful therapeu,icaly than
simple respect.
Sixth--ln experimenting in hospitals with
new medicines, patients mus, be deceived, or
else the results are complicated by mental in.

FOUND DEAD.

Eicksburg Herald A white man was
found dead upon the place Of J. c. Luckeu,
near Red Bone, on Saturday last. He was an
old man with gray ham and beard, almos,
toothless; was about feet 9 inches high !;
had on light calico shirt, dark Jeans pants,
a brown percale coat. broad-brimned cotton
fel, black hat and gater shoes. He was
eaten by buzzards and dogs so that all marks
upon his person were obliteraied. The only
thing left 10 gmde to any clue as to his identity
are fourteen brass and metal rings and forty
cents in silver found upon his person, causing
the jury Of inquest TO think him a peddler.
Such man was seen on last Monday upon
the road leading from Warrenton 70 Fishers
Ferry, with small, neatly tied bundle, and
it is supposed he is the man found. This
package not being found with him II is strong
ly supposed that he has been foully dealt
with. And then, too, the body was discovered
in thicket away from any path or road lying
upon pile of brush. The whole affair con.
nective with his death is enveloped in mystery
A jury summoned by Justice Bolis returned
the following verdict:
We. the jury. summoned TO serve as jury
Of inquisition upon the body Of a person un~
known, found dead upon the place of ]. E.
Luckeu, do say that thorough examination
OF the body discovers no clue to identify him,
there being nothing upon his body relative to
his name or family, and we do further agree
and say that on account Of the mutlated con-
dition of his body by dogs and buzzards that
the cause or causes Of his death are unknown
to the Jury. (Signed,)
