Have YOu AcrOphObiaY

Among the many curious psychioal OK
periments that are now attracting the at
tention Of sc .entific minds, the one TO which
the term "acrophobia his been applied
has several points OF interest DR.. Vcrga
has recently described the phenomena in
his own case.
Though by nature not at al timid. all his
courage leaves him when above ground.
He complains OF palpitaiions in mounting a
step Ladder, for instance; finds IL extreme
ly unpleasant 10 ride on top OF coach or
even look out of first story window.
This idioyncrasy forbids him the use of an
elevator, and the mere thought OF those
who have caSt themselves down from high
places causes tingling all over his person.
His acrophobia, even goes so far that the
thought Of the earth spinning through
space is enough to cause discomfort
