clear insight into the morbidity
of the ind ividual symptoms.
The more common Of the various
photias as classified by Beard are
as follows: CIaustrophobia, fear
of narr ow or closed places; agora-
phobia, fear Of open places; sstra-
phohia. fear Of lightning; mono
phobia, fear Of being alone; patho-
phobia, fear of disease: myso-
phobIa, fear of contamination;
sideodomopnobia, fear of railroad
travel; acrophobia, fear of being
at height OR looking over preci-
pices; thanatophobia, fear of
death.
1t is to BE- emphasized that the
phobias in question are not normal
fears, based, as normal or natural
fears are, on some reasonable
justifying experience. A reason
able and justifiable normal fear of
lightning might arise after the
experience Of having been at some
time in house struck by light

Other fears, such as the fear of
riding in buggy after having
been in a runaway or the fear Of
voyage at sea or railway after a
frightful shipwreck or railway
accident, is more or less natural
or reasonable fear as the fear Of
hoodoos and ghosts is among the
supert titious or those accustomed

Fear as a disease had not
received serious attention until
recent years. Now it is reco.
nized by the medical profession
that there is q whole list of
phobias. as they are called, viii h
are quite distinct from a normal
md legitimate condi ion Of fear
due to some natural cause.
Thus there is the fear Of open

Record, fear Of high places, fear
of men or women, fear Of crowds

fear Of insects. fear of darkness.

warped brain for their Judgment
though the weakened brain may
be more wildly impressed by
them. To be regarded as symp-
toms Of disease these fears must
be groundlcss so far as influences
external to the brain are con-
cerned.
Thev must proceed from a
morbid state of the brain and not
from properly exciting external
causes. They must be fears
peculiar to the individual under
peculiar circumstances of cerebral
disturbance and not fear common
to others and due to causes that
naturally cause alarm and brighten.
