How Pat;trts ShamminG Paralysis We

How Patients ShamminG Paralysis Were
Quickly Cuaed.
One OF the diseases which were most
frequently simulated by soldiers in for
mer days was paralysis. 1t is probable
that this was due, first. 10 the fact that
the deception was comparatively easy to
practice. ana secondly. to its being in
those days diff, ult to expose.
1t is certain that assumed paralysis
was often resortei TO by malingerers,
and it is equally certain that the impos-
ture was often successful
Here is ease n Point.

the use OF his lower i.Ia1s. and for about
two years he endurei all that medical
skill and suspicion could suggest with
the view TO enabling or forcing him 10
return to his duty.
On one occasion he was confined 70 q
small room, shelf well stored with
provisions being suspended over his
head. This was SO fixed that he could
easily reach the food by standing upon
his legs, but not otherwise.
At the end of for,y-eight hours the
food was found not to have been touched.
He was now formally invalided. an.

human beings is occasionally made in
surgery. Our too aesthetic age forhids
an animal blood bath !" as a medical
treatment. The old-fashioned and
homely remedies in medicine, such as
bleeding. leeches. hot mustard and water
are now seldom recommended.
Modern remedies must go in the bot
tie; unfortunately the active principles
cannot be extracted in their natural con-
dition. Peruvian bark contains quinire
and other principles; the druggists sell
sulphate OF quinine.
The success OF the doctoring by old
women, notably in cases of fever, with
tea II ade from wild herbs, is largely due
to this fact: they use natures combined
remedies. In the same manner does a
dog cure itself by eating weeds in field
when the scientifically extracted medi-
cines OF the veterinary surgeon have
failed to effect recovery.
Bark and blood baths act by absorp-
ton, and perhaps are unique III this re-
spect. We might advantageously hear
more about them. The development Of
the former, with various banks, opens
up wide field in medical research.

Wundt regards most dream represen-

they emanate from sensorial impress

during sleep, says the Medical News.
An inconvenient position during sleep

The movements of respi ration may
suggest to the sleeper, as previously
mentioned, flying, but this fight may be
objective, and instead of himself flying
he sees an angel descending from the

birds are swiftly moving.
The representations of dreams having
sensorial origin may have mingled with
them those which arise solely from the
reproduction of past memories.
Parents or friends cut off in the flower
OF life ordinarily appear in dreams be-
cause Of the profound impression which
their death or burial has made. Hence
the general opinion that the dead con-
tinue during the night their intercourse

OLE BULL AND ERICSSON.
How the Great vfolinist Touched the In.
aventOr's Heart with His Music.

sventor's Heart with His Music.
In conversation few evenings ago a
| distinguished chemist and physician,
who is also an enthusiastic and critical
lover of music, told an interesting story
about Ole Bull and john Ericsson, the
| great inventor
It seems that they were fri nds in
early life, but drifted apart and did no:
meet again until each had become
! famous. Bull had charmed the ears Of
lied word, while the par the great
mechan;cian played in naval warfare
during tn rebellion reused e North to
enthusiasm and startled the world.
Bull, happening to be in New York on
| a concert tour, determined to look up
his oil; friend and renew the acguaint-
ance. He found him il his workshop,
surrounded by tools, machinery. de-
signs, model, and materials used in
mec aanical construct ms, directing the
labors of CORPS Of assis ants.
When taking his leave Bull invited
Er.rsson 10 attend his concert that
nigh.. Ericsson, however, declined.
saying he had no time to waste.
Their acquaintance being thus re-
newed, Bull continued to call on his old
friend when visiting New York, and
usually when taking his leave would
ask Ericsson to attend his concert,
but Ericsson always declined the in
vitation.
Upon one occasion Bull pressed him
urgently, and said:
IF you do not come, / shall bring
my violin here and play in your
shop"
Ericsson replied gruffly:
If you bring the thing here shall
smash it to pieces
Here were two men the very OppOsiteS
of each other. Bull an impulsive, ro-
mantle dreamer; Ericsson stern, thought
full, practical, proving every movement
with mathematical precision.
Bulls curiosity was aroused to know
what effect music would have upon the
grim, matter of-fact man of squares and
circles. So taking his violin with him,
he went to EricssOn's shop. He had re-
moved the strings, screws and apron, SO
that the violin would seem to be in bad
condition.
AS he entered the shop. noticing a
displeased expression on Ericsson's face,
Bull called his attention to certain de-
fects in the instrument, and, speaking Of
its construction asked Ericsson about
the scientific and acoustic properties
involved in the grain of certain woods.
From this he passed on to discussion
OF sound-waves, tones, semi-tones, etc.
To illustrate his meaning, he replaced
the strings, and, improvising a few
chords, drifted into rich melody.
The workmen, charmed, dropped their
tools, and stood in silent wonder.
He played on and on, and when finally
he ceased, Ericsson raised his bowed
head, and, with moist eyes, said:
"Do not stop. Go on! Go on! I never
knew until now what there was lacking
in my ufe."

How Many Toes Has a Cat?
"How many toes has a cat?"

"How many toes has cat?"
This was one Of the questions asked OF
certain class during examining week,
and simple as the question appears to be,
none could answer it.
In the emergency the principal was
applied to for a solution, and he also,
with a good-natured smile, gave it up.
when one of the teachers, determined
not to be beaten by a simple question,
hit on the idea Of sending out delega-
tion Of boys to scour the neighborhood
for cat.
When this idea was announced the
whole class wanted to join In the hunt.
Several boys went out and soon returned
successful.
A returning board was at once ap-
pointed, and the toes counted. when to
the relief of all It was learned that cat
possesses is toes, 10 on the front and s
on the hind feet Columbus (Ga) En-

| at midnight that the ship was on f1re. A
rush was made for the boats and when
| the passengers were mustered on the
quay it was found that the paralytic in
di~idual had not only saved himself, but
his trunk too.
! Here is another case.
| Asolcier persisted in asserting that he
| had lost nearly all use of his legs, owing
| to some injury inflicted on MS spine.
/ The stury was suspected, AID he was
! tested accordingly. But after while
! the patience and ing, nuity OF his medi-
| cal officer becoming exhausted, the man
| was recommended lOr discharge.
On day appointed he crawled on
| clutches TO the Office where he was TO re-
| ceive his discharge. Having obtained
the document, he begged the officer to
read it to him; and this was Gone twice.
Satisfied that it was all right, he took
the paper back, threw down his clutches,
darted forward, capsizing two men who
happened to be in his way, and dis
appeared, after taking a flying leap over
car with a water cask which DISTRACTED
his line Of retreat.
The pretensiOns of a malingerer to
paralysis in the following instance were
not SO successful.
A deserter from the regiment
was tried by court martial and while in
pri son declared that he had lost the use
OF his legs.
Both medical and moral means were
tried in order TO test the truth OF his
statement. but nothing came of them.
He was occasionally suspended by his
arms in the hope Of wooing his legs to
| undertake their ordinary functions-in
vain.
After the lapse of fifteen months he
was transferred to a general hospital,
where he was confined in a solitary
prison ward.
One evening a hospital pupil, who
slept in a room Immediately over the
ward in which the man was confined,
thought he heard him walking about.
He afterward became convinced of this;
but although he tried his best to prove
it, he was never successful in finding the
man on his feet.
At length he devised plan for detect
ing the impostor, which with the sane
ton of the medical officers, was carried
out. The soles of the mans feet were
rubbed with cowhage. the pupil protect
ing his own hands durin, he process by
means of gloves. OF course the impOs-
tor VAS kept in ignorance uf what was
applied to his feet.
