THOMAS HUGHES reports a curious fellow
passenger on board a transatlantic steamer.
His name was Adriance Ward Ainsley, as he
gave it. and he said that he had been curate
in some remote part of England. He was
man of much learning, and had been carried
away bv Pasteurs discoveries in the treat
ment OF hydrOphObia by incubation, and he
believed that the principle could be applied 70
purely mental ailments or conditions. HIS
argument ran in this way: Hydrophobla is as
much a disease of the mind as OF the body.
The remains Of those who die rabid snow, on
dissection. no sign of physical disturbance.
The malady is largely of the mind. Now, Pas
teur has proved that incubation with the VI
| rus of hydrOphOb gives dog immunity from
the disease, though he may be repeatedly bit
ten by rabid beasts; and it is believed that the
same effect would be produced in human be-
| ing. If that be so, 1t is clear that all OF the
| positive emotions, especially those which are
| apt to drive persons crazy, can be guarded
| against. All we have to do, for example, Is
| to obtain the virus of love from mailman
| aflicted with it, inoculate sentimentally
healthy man, and thus make him forever
proof against the afllictiOn. Ainsley's errand
| to America was To lay his idea before the
| British Association at Montreal.
