MIND POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES
BY EUGENE LYMAN FISK, MD

AS for adults, when consider that the danger to
character and morals that exists bad literature

fppant spirit strange that the dangers to health

and plays that exhale sweetness sanity and courage

daily and scattered throughout the world!
The Crime of Literature
EFT us suppose that some magazine or newspaper
- we're printed in an establishment where diphthe1a
smallpox, other plague had been rampant
among its employees. How carefully the output Of
such would be watched and guarded lest in
lection be spread broadcast throughout the country
But what adequate restraint is placed upon the output
of publishers who scatter the deadly poison of evil liter
allure and harmfully sensational 3news' upon the
activities of the poet novelist playwright who de
hberatey prostitutes his "muse" his genius" to tie
demands Of diseased and degenerate minds? Who can
estimate the tremendous and desolatng effect of such
influences upon the daily enarging group of unfortr
mates who wander exposed and helpless the border
land between clear sanity and mental alienation?
But here are treading on dangerous ground Does
dare to the freedom of the press Is there
a nedico SO bold that he would essay to place
check rein or binders upon the Pegasus of some self
elected genius?
This land of ours is prominently the land of liberty
and incidentally it place where human life is less
valued than in any other civilized nation of the first
rank. Freedom is the watchword of those who poison
streams, who poison food, who sell poison
under the guise of medicine; and that glorious
word is the motto of Headers" who demand by their
actions though not always by their Words the liberty
to murder those who presume to oppose them. GER

But justified in measuring art by such utiltarian
standards? Of familiar with the claptrap
arguments in favor of rotten plays and literature Art
must be "free to express truth, however hideous 1t
must carry its message without regard to whom hurts
There lies an essential difference between art and sci
ence. Science claims the right to commit suicide, or
rather martyrdom; but it attacks humanity. 1t
is cruel to plants placing them under the microscope
without their permission and it accused of cruelty to
animals; but it does the minds destroy the
bodies of its own kind
Is there any earthly for that does

How much of this called @art' is the epeptod
expression of diseased brain cells? How much of it
the venal product of moral idiots who pander the
basest elements in human nature? Such art needs
Savonarola to burn it in the marketplace. But Savon
arolas do not fit in with modern social economy. Until
the purveyors of mental infection within the
jurisdiction of the boards of health, each must
protect himself and his family as best he may.
How many of Strong writer's merely depict types
of mental alienation which, if frankly presented SUCH

Ibsen who exhibits remarkable faculty of scenting
