Imaginary Diseases.

A great deal of what passes for heart
disease is mild dyspepsia. Nervousness is
an aristocratic name for irritability and
bad temper, and two-thirdssOf the so-called
malaria is nothing but laziness.
The longer an hallucinatiOn is INDUCED
the more deeply rooted it becomes. In
many cases it ultimately develops into
monomania or delusional insanity A
noted physician performs many of his most
remarkable cures of so-called nervous dis
eases. simply by his wonderful success in
persuading patients that nothing on earth
ais them. Few physicians have the ability
TO do this. and still fewer have the discre-
ton to adopt a course of treatment adapted
to the mental peculiarities of each .partic
ular case. Sometimes persuasion is neces-
sary, but frequently little tonic, COM
bined with good scolding, produces the
desired result

once there was a lion that wanted to
know how polite all the bastes were. So
he made a great smell in his den with
birthstone or something else-I don't mind
what jist-but it smelt enough to knock
you down intirely; and then he called in
the bear, and says he: Good morning.
Mr.. Bear, and what dye think of the smell

Now, when the bear was ate up the
lion called In the monkey and asked him
the same question precisely. Now, the
monkey, seeing the bear that the lion had
swallowed lying dead in the corner, says
he: May 1t please your majesty says he,

Cures Attributed to ouackery.

hitting at the same time that they may at
times do good by accident, and also that
many cures ascribed to the regular doctors
might fairly be attributed to the causes
here pointed out First, the regulation of
diet, the omission of excessive drinking or
smoking, or the correction of some other
bad habit may have done all the good.
Second, the natural powers may have

ployed at the same time. Third, the i'm
provement may be a part of the natural
course of the disease. Fourth, faith, the
confident expectation of benefit cures
many. This is especially, seen.in nervous
diseases.
Many years ago two prominent surgeons
In Philadelphia were engaged in expert
menting upon the effects of breathing va
rious gases. One of them wished to OBJ
serve the effect of the respiration of some
gas upon patient suffering from palsy.
Before using the gas he noted the temper.

purpose he inserted the bulb Of a small
thermometer under the tongue. The imam
imagined this little preliminary proceed
ing to be the means of cure,
Innumerable examples might be
culled from the records of science Fifth,
there are some diseases which regular
practitioners have little or no power to
cure, but which ordinarily cease after a
time of themselves. Such is the suffering
produced by the passing of gall-stones. A
patient may have been treated for months
by surgeons without benefit, and the sur
geon or quaek is then consulted. The
disease ceases sooner or later spontane-
ously, and the last conner takes the credit,
which is due to neither, but solely to ma
ture. These facts might be increased, if
necessary to any reasonable amount.
