INFLUENCE OF FEAR.
An Important Factor in the Fastening
of Death.

An Important Factor in the fastening
of Death.
"Of the whole number of persons sup
posed TO die of disease" said prominent
physician the other day, IL should say that
at least 80 per cent. are really carried away
by fear. Were it not for this element
mortality would be far less than it isl
In support of this statement he cited va
rious cases where the element of fear had
entered largely in as potent factor to
persuade people that their time had come.
Presentlments, prophecies, premonitions,
and general nervousness all played their
part. On the other hand, a short time ago
a patient of n city hospital was frightened
into getting well. This man was brought
in an ambulance, supposedly dying from
heart failure.
Ho was laid on the table and diagnosis
showed him TO be suffering from hysteria.
The surgeon turned to one of his assistants
and, asking for a knife, remarked that he
would cut down to the heart and find out
what the trouble was. Tho patient gave a
yell. and leaping from the table started for
the door. Remonstraace was in vain.
That man was cured and never came back.
Some years ago four criminals, con-
demned in Russia to die. were taken
to house and shown several beds,
in which they were told n number of
cholera patients had died. As a
matter OF fact, the beds were new,
never having been slept in. Tho criminals
were informed that they would be set at
liberty if they would undergo the ordeal of
sleeping several nights in the beds. From
tho prisoners point OF view it was a
possible, though desperate. chance of
escape. They, one and all, decided to take
the chances. At the end of the time pre-
scribed two were uniniured and went free,
but the others developed all the symptoms
and died of AsiatIc cholera.
Two physicians determined to talSo adj
vantage OF the impressionable mind of a
female patient.and prove a theory for the
benefit of science. The lady had COM
planned of an itching on her back. She
was told that a blister would be applied.
Instead, a common postage stamp was
applied, and, SO runs the chronicle, per-
formed all tho offices of the plaster which
was not there.
A college professor was once the subject
of practical joke at the hands of the
students. They met him one after another
and each successfully inquired after his
health, saying that no looked ill. lie took
TO his bed, n physician was called and for
days the professor imagined he was i'll.
