IMAGINARY ILLS,
Real Sickness Makes Its Presence Known
by UnmIstakabIe siEn..

1t is probably within bounds 10 say
that large proportion, if not fully
one-half, OF the troubles which of.
fict mankind are wholly imaginary.
or at least greatly exaggerated. \
considerable part of every physician's
practice consists IN the treatment o.
minor ailments, and of disease
which exists only in his patients im-
agination.
Ii this were all, and the only resul.
OF too much intrespection and notice
81 supposed symptoms were to in.
crease the physicians income, there
would not be SC much to be said against
1T. But unfortunately, imaginary dis
eases cause a great deal of suffering
AS much a., if not more than, the
real troubles OF which they are the
cOunterfeits.
There are few more wretched OBJ
iects than the confirmed hypochou-
drIac, whose days aud nights are spent
IN counting his pulse. looking at his
tongue, noticing every hutter IN his
chest or little she citing pain in his
head, aud reading medical books and
tue circulars OIL quaCks.
Such man Is perhaps more 10 be
pltIed than the victim Of fatal disease
for while he may live longer. lis life is
barren of happiness IS to be scarcely.
worth the having.
There Is almost no disease which
ono Who makes constant study Of
every little unusual sensation cannot
imagine himself 10 have. but heart.
disease is perhaps tho one oftauest
simulated. 1t is SO easy to count the
pulse aud to imagine queer sensations
in the chest, and the rythm Of the
heartbeats changes under the slight
est provocation, especially if there is
little Indigestion, that uothiug is
simpler than to imagine oneself tho
subject OF some serious disease Of this
organ.
The habit is thus formed of watch
ing ones symptoms; and, once formed,
it is most difficult TO overcome.
The best protection against the ac-
quiring such habit is education in
childhood. Parents should never an
pear SOLICITORS, nor take notice OF
every littlc ache or pain with which
child runs to its mother. A sharp
stitch in the side does not always
mean pneumonia, nor a stomach-acho
appendicitis, and children should be
taught to disregard little discomforts.
Ii child is given very slight sup
per and put to bed when it complains,
1t will soon learn not to exaggeratc
small ills.
Real sickness usually makes its
presence known by unmistakable
signs, and there Is slight danger that
n manly disregard OF minor ailments.
and q refusalt0 be frightened by them,
will lead to the neglect of any really
serious results.

in the necessity of organization, but did
not agree with his views as to the hostil-

ship fruit. as 1t was too expensive, but
by combining they could ship In large
