Poison and Faith Cure.

Arsenic and strychnine kill, Mrs. Eddy
says, not because there is really any dead
ly property i'll themselves, but because the
belief that there is on the part of the ma
jority of mankind has put this property
into them, and yet it is one of Mrs. Eddy S
main contentious that though the poisons
which men believe in will, because of
mems belief in them, kill the medicines
which men believe In are absolutely pow
erless to cure Indeed she affirms with
triumph. ON the authority of some doctor,
that they "have actually destroyed more
lives than war" What will Mrs. Eddy s
disciples make out of this? Is human
belief, to which matter owes all its proper
ties. able to invest it with bad properties
only? How can it turn strychnine-that
naturally harmless unreality-into a
cause of death, while 1t cannot turn rhu-
barb and magnesia into means of
health? How will they reconcile these
two contradictory propositionsS-National
