In a queer old book about the value
of precious stones it is seriously stated
that the swallowing of certain ones
would prevent certain diseases.
The topaz was prescribed to stop
bleeding wounds, and to make the heart
light.
The diamond is advised for those who
walk in their sleep, and are slightly in
sane to-day we would be very apt to
credit people who swallowed diamonds
with being more than slightly insane).
The loadstone would cure headaches,
bites of serpents and deafness. Indeed,
it is said to possess so many virtues that
the head of any large family to-day is
advised to buy one for each child, and
in this way avoid the necessity of fre-
quent calls and correspondingly long
bills from physician.
The sapphire makes the dull cheerful
and brings perfection of health.
The opal is good for the eyes, for it
causes the tears to flow.
Crystals prevent bad dreams, coral
and cornelian stop hemorrhages.
Cardau, a great physician OF olden
times, writes most positively that the
topaz, if hung around the neck or swal-
lowed in drink, Twill increase wisdom
and repel fear" He also claimed to
cure people of madness by making them
swallow the yellow stone, and asserted
that it never failed.
