VICTIM OF FANclED ILLS.
Surgeons Perform Operations"
Satisfy Patients.

You will probably be surprised to
learn" remarked the house surgeon Of
big Chicago hospital. "that there are
many sane people today who. believing
that they are threatened with some
dangerous disease, insist on undergo
ing severe operations in order that
their lives may be saved. OF course
we don't really perform these operations
but have assisted at many imaginary
ones in order to crafty the whim Of a
patient suffering from some form Of
Eysteria.
Il remember a recent case Of a wo-
man who was absolutely convinced
that she was suffering from an internal
tumor. Curiously enough. she had been
operated on for this complaint some
eight years before. when a large tumor
VS. removed. Six months ago she re-
ceived a fright through one Of her
children upsetting a lighted lamp, and
when she had somewhat recovered she
became convinced that a recurrence Of
her trouble had begun, and that the
only thing to save her life was an i'm
mediate operation.
"She consulted her own physician.
who. after a most minute diagnosis,
declared that there was absolutely
nothing to fear and that there was no
trace whatever of the supposed tumor.
Nevertheless the woman, who was
possessed of considerable means, con-
suited another physician. who Upheld
the opinion Of the brother medico The
woman was still unconvinced. however.

begged that the operation might be

"Wall, we had, Of course. received
particulars of the case from the two
physicians. and after e. animation and
with their permission declared that the
operation was certainly necessary and
should be perforl ned without delay.
with the assistance Of two Of the
visiting surgeons I determined to per.
form the operation in Imagination, and
this ID how we did 1t. The patient was
given just a SUFFICIENT quantity of

How the Old Man Contributes.

We have q member Of this conRrera
tion." said an usher in Lexington
avenue church, who contributes to its
support In an unusual way. He pays
his pew rent all right but he has q
rooted objection to dropping a coin In
the collection plate. No matter
whether the contribution is for church
expenses or for foreign missions, this
man ducks the plate when II passes his
pew. He says he abhors giving aims
before men, But he redeems all the
bad money that others drop into the
plate as a way Of getting even with his
conscience. When tn, collection. 10
counted all the bad coin Is picked out
and given to the treasurer Of the
church. Some Sundays there IL q good

nations and money that was never

ping II into the collection box. When
the treasurer gets handful Of thes
money he calls the old man into sthe
vestry after the Wednesday ,sveninH
prayer meeting and gets good money
for IT. The old man puts the bad coin
in his pocket and takes u home.
II have often wondered what he doss
with IT, Once we got stuck on . coun-

to her by the old man. She was posi-
tive about receiving it from her butcher
the night before. when she paid her bill.

good. Then he gave, the woman an ad-
