Belief In Sickness.

1t Is a very old observation that domi-
nant idea Is valuable in controlling the
human being, and whether it be in the
bearing of pain or in the devotion which
leads the Turk to die contentedly before
the Russian bullets, belief is a factor that
may be turned to great advantage. In
directly, Christian science may prove an
aid to medical science. The intelligent
physician Of today could receive IL.
greater aid in the scientific practice Of
his profession than to beemancipated by
his patients from the obligation invari
ably to prescribe drug When people
are willing to employ physicians to order
their lives SO that they may live in
health, the custom which binds the ply
stefan to prescribe something for his pa
tent will be unnecessary.
As we have become more civilized this
state of affairs is gradually coming into
place, but there still fingers the expecta-
ton that the doctors visit means drugs
Christian science and faith cure, more
refined than the spiritualistic beliefs
which have preceded them, form an in
teresting study in mental pathology, and
mark an advance from the grosser stage
of table tipping and magnetic doctors to
recognition of the fact that among the
weapons employed by the scientific ply
siciau OF today an appeal toa determined
purpose TO overcome pain is worthy of
place beside antiseptics and anodynes
and tonics.-Century.
