CURED BY HIS IMAGINATION.
A Patient Whose Palsy Disappeared

a Patient Whose Palsy Disappeared
Through His Unconscious Effort.
A singular but instructive instance fell
under the observation of Sir Humphry
Davy, when in early life he was assisting
DIR. Beddoes in his experiments on the
inhalation of nitrous oxide, says DR..
Combe in his "PhysioIogy." DR.. Bed
does having inferred that the oxide must
be a specific for palsy, patient was Sc
Iected for trial and placed under the care
OF Davy. Previously to administering
the gas Davy inserted small thermo-
meter under the tongue of the patient to
ascertain the temperature. The para
Iytio man, wholly ignorant of the process
TO which he was to submit, but deeply
/ Impressed by Dr. Beddoes with the GER
tanty of its success. no sooner felt
the thermometer behind his teeth
/ than he concluded the talisman was
in operation, and in burst of enthusiasm
declared that he already experienced the
! effects OF its benign influence throughout
! his whole body. The opportunity was
| TOO tempting TO be lost. Davy did nothing
more, but desired his patient to return
on the following day. The ceremony was
repeated, the same result followed, and
at the end of fortnight he was dis
missed cured, no remedy of any kind
except the thermometer having been
used.
Another remarkable instance occurred
during the siege of Breda in 1925. When
the garrison was on the point of sur
rendering from the ravages Of scurvy a
few vials OF sham medicine, introduced
by the Prince OF Oranges order as the
most valuable and intalllble specific and
given in drops as such, produced aston
lshlng effects. Such as had not moved
their limbs for months before were seen
walking IN the streets, sound. straight
and whole, and many who declared they
had been rendered worse by all former
remedies recovered in few days, to their
/ inexpressible joy.
According to Vaidy, the French army
cantoned in Bavaria after the battle OF
| Austorlitz had only 100 sick in division
of 5000 men. When, on the other hand, an

A Flower of the Air.

Rare specimens of orchids which are
sought for in distant lands, and subjected
to all the risks of importation are not
cheap, writes Nancy Mann Waddle III
the LADIES' Home Journal. Several years
ago an English collector, Baron Schroe-
der, paid over 81, 900 for a single specimen
Of cypripedium stonei, a native of Borneo.
Although possessing several specimens OF
this species the ardent collector was anx-
ious to keep the dealers from obtaining
possession of it, and thus paid so extrava-
CANT sum to hold it all his own. There
are many orchid enthusiasts who have
longed in vain for the possession of a
flower they consider beyond their reach,
a common and erroneous idea being
that superb beauties of the tropical
and semi-tropical world are the
luxury Of the very rich, that they
only flourish in houses built especially
for them, and in a temperature akin
to that of Turkish bath, and that they
require the constant supervision of q
gardener skilled in their culture. Before
endeavoring to dissipate such ideas some
practical information about orchids may
not be amiss.

When the fattest young lady at Fort

Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the neart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered At
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 12O, 100 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF five equal ar
nual installments Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in whicn to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity 10 purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land At $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that GOOD
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
Pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement win prove to
home-seekers that this is AN opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body of land was the breaking up Of large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.
