BALANCING a Flyino Machine.

belief that the weight would naturally
seek to remain at the lowest point. 1t

tended to seek the lowest point; but,
also, like the pendulum, it tended to

keep the machine oscillating; and sec

CURE FOR HYSTERIA

have concluded that too much sym

hysteria, and that q realistic shock
sometimes accomplishes more than
medicine. In fact, n expert at the
recent meeting Of the American Asso-
citation Of Obstetricians and Gynecolo-
gists asserted that physicians practice
more Christian Science than do the
Christian Scientists. The principal
paper was read BY DR.. A. Morgan
Vance Of Louisville on the subject:
"Hysteria as . Surgeon Sees It."
Some Of DR.. Vance's ideas follow:
"A physician asked me to 60 to q
place 100 miles from Louisville to see
his sister. who was bedridden and had
worn out her family and other rela.
lives being waited On. l refused to 60
and AAid she would have to be brought

asked me to go to 4 hospital in Louis
