4 most curious paper has been found
In the archives Of the Nurnburg-Furthe
railway. tho first railway constructed IN
Germany. 1t is the official opinion Of
the Bayarian High Medical Colleginm
concerning the probable effect of the
general introduction Of railway travel
upon the health Of Bayarian subjects.
The rapidity OF the new transit would,
according 10 the learned doctors, "cer-
tainly cause a brain disease which would
eventually develop into delirium furio-
sum-" OF course every one who wished
TO expose himself 10 this consequence OF
tie new mode OF travel might be al
lowed to do so undisturbed by the State.
Other persons, however, should be pro-
tected from the perils attendant upon
the rapid locomotion. Spectators by
the wayside were liable to brain trouble
after merely watching the passing steam
cais. Therefore, the railway aud cars
should be concealed from view by close
board fences at least five yards high. All
things considered. a better way of pro-
tecting the subjects of tho Bavarian
Grown would be to forbid altogether the
construction Of the railway. This opin-
ion was given in 1897 in response to a
Government inquiry.
