Ocular Demonstration.

A young lady in Chicago became con-
WINGED that she had heart disease and
rushed in terror to a physician. who
speedily assured himself that there was
| nothing whatever the matter with it.
The question then was, how he should
assure her of the fact He pondered a
little, and then decided that he would
let her see the organ in action; and he
turned on the X-ray and let her look
at her heart in mirror. 1t took
little time for her to accustom her
eyes TO the darkness, but she finally
became able to discern its outlines, and
watched it in fascination. One OF her
comments was:
''Just see it wag!''
She left the office of the physician in
great content. convinced that, after all,
she was not threatened with angina
pectoris or any other serious heart
complaint.
If the X-ray treatment becomes com
mon in cases like this there will be
something of revolution in the science
OF medicine. At present there are nu-
merous physicians, some quacks and
some thoroughly educated, who make
fair living out of the assisted self-de-
lusions of fair patients. A lady be-
lieves something to be the matter with
her-and when a human being is fash
iouably gCwned, well fed, and obliged
to pass her days in a sort of busy
idleness, it is not hard to develop such
a belief. In some cases the would-be
patient has nothing to do but imagine
diseases, and revel in the consequence
which naturally attends an interesting
invalid Such a patient rushes to the
physician. receives sympathy and at
tention, and directions ad libitum, and
pays fees correspondingly large. The
doctor, meanwhile, quiets his con-
science. if he has one, with the reflec-
tion that il he told his fair patient
bluntly that nothing was the matter
with her except Incidence and i'm
proper food she would be insulted and
rush off to some other less serupulous
and less truthful medical man.
All the same, if the X-ray treatment
were to become common, the most per-
sistent delusion would be upset. 1t is
impossible to believe that ones heart
is about to stop, or is unreasOnably
enlarged, or is not performing its
functions properly. in the face of ocular
demonstration of the fact that it is all
right. And, despite the artificial fond
ness for invalidism which has been
more or less cultivated among the rich
and idle, there are few human beings
who would not really rather be well
than i'll.
Another reflection suggested by this
incident is that some such treatment
is really, perhaps, all that Christian
Science needs to cure it. If some kind
of an X-ray could be turned on that
doctrine and the mass OF absurdities
which cluster about tiff it were pes
sible TO convince those people that in
spite of their assertions of miracle and
magic and the upsetting of the laws
of nature. those laws are going on Just
the same as usual-it might be bene-
fetal. But the X-ray which will do
that has not yet been invented. No
scientific treatment has ever been able
TO make a man without a sense of hu-
NOR see his own ahsurdity, and it is
improbable that the Church of Mrs.
Eddy will ever gaze into an X-ray
mirror and see itself wag.
