Persons given to meditation must Of
ten have found ample material for spec
ulation in ~endeavoring to imagine what
train of thought could have prompted
the introduction of certain surgical pro-
cedures, or led to the first trial of this
or that t~herapeutical agent in the treat
ment OF a particular disease What, for
example, could have stimulated the first
idea OF curing ~sciatica by stretching the
sciatic nervef Certainly the task of
finding a train of thought which should
conduct to that conclusion would he a
severe one. Many such methods nave
doubtless been suggested by n real or
fancied analogy between them and GER
tam natural accidental occurrences, and
in this sort of observation charlatans in
all ages have shown themselves slngu-
larry apt.
We may quote an instance of recent
occurrence where the cure was effected
under circumstances which must have
suggested to bone-shakers their violent
and unscientifc but occasionally sue
cessful manipulations. In this case the
person had been almost bedridden for
many weeks from sciatica; still suffer
ing acutely from the attack, but a trifle
less in pain, he hobbled forth to get the
benefit of a little fresh air; at n crossing
he was roughly pushed by a passing
vehicle, and after Il desperate but un-
availing effort TO preserve his equilibrium
he fell on the road in the midst of n
fairly dense traffic. 1t was only when
he had regained the sidewalk that he be-
