PSYCHIC HYDROPHOBIA
8y H. AddingtOn Bruce

DSYCHIC hydrophobia is much rarer
disease than the hydrophobia caused
- by the bite of mad dog. The symp-
toms of both maladies bear close resem-
blance, the essential difference being that
psychic hydrophobia, as it's name implies, is
of wholly mental origin.
1t develops only in highly neurotic people,
and usually after accident in which the
victim has been scratched or bitten by an
animal mitakenly thought to be mad. But
it may occur without any such mishap.
Recently, for example, New York physi-
clan, DIR. John D. Quackenbos, has reported
in the New York Medical Journal singular
case of psychic hydrophobia caused soley by
grief. The patient was woman forced to
marry a man she did not love-
GAS she stood before the altar at the cere-
mony," says DR.. Quackenbos, "a spasm of the
pharyngeal constructors and muscles of the
larynx suddenly occurred, closing the epiglot-
tbs with strangling sensation in hysterical
imitation of the genuine tetanic constructions
of canine madness.
Gradually difficulty in swallowing devel-
oped having special reference to water. The
spasm returned with every attempt to quench
her thirst and finally at the very sight or
thought of water.
when she reported to me she was accus-
toned to occupy four hours every morning
fighting with the water in the basin to get
her face washed. To force a teaspoonful
of water into her stomach was equivalent to
a tragedy"
So intense were the sufferings of this I'M
happy woman that she prayed for death. 1t
was her belief that she was afflicted with an
absolutely incurable disease.
But, recognizing it's mental origin, DR..
Quackenbos attacked her malady by mental
means. His first move was to hypnotic her.
While hypnotized he imperatively impressed
upon her the idea that henceforth she would
have no difficulty in swallowing water.
Happily this suggestion took" Restored
to waking consciousness, the patient called
eagerly for water and drank several tumblers
of it without the least effort 1t was hard to
realize that, only short time before, the
mere idea of water had been enough to create
in her a convulsive spasm.
The term psychic hydrophobia is also ap-
piled to a condition in which, while there is
little or no trolfble in swallowing water, the
sight of large bodies of water causes abnor-
NAL feelings of terror.
People thus afflicted cannot bring them
selves to travel by water under any circum-
stances. The sight of a river, pond, or lake
throws them into a panic. Tremor, palpita-
| ton, all the bodily signs of fear, at once be-
come manifest.
They may refuse to cross a bridge over
blinds drawn Even then the passage of
the bridge is torture to them and they are
vastly relieved when they finally reach the
other side.
In all such cases treatment by mental
means-by hypnotism, hypnoidism, psyche
analysis, etc.-will alone bring cure. And
often the patience and skill of the attending
physician are taxed to the utmost before the
desired result is obtained.

Helblng Mexico.

Mexco's export trade for the year 1918
amounted in value to some three hundred
and sixty-seven million pesos, of which three
hundred and fifty millions worth was taken
by the United States; and of her imports,
amounting to approximately one hundred and
sixty-four million pesos hundred and
forty-one millions worth came from the
United States. These figures, which are
from recent statistics issued by the Mexican
government itself, bear striking witness to
our place in the commerce of our neighbor
across the Rio Grande. In the last twelve
months, indeed, only negligible portion of
her outgoing products went to other mar
kets than ours; and from other markets than
ours she had very small intake.
One need not be in any wise an upholder
of dollar diplomacy to appreciate the sig
nificance of this record in the matter of
American encouragement for peace and good
order in Mexico, and Of American discourage
ment for contrary forces. Where economic
relations so close, each party to the trad
ing can but be vitality concerned in the other s
deportment. If outlaws from the American
side of the border repeatedly made life pre-
carious for the inhabitants Of northern Mex
leo, we should be bound to respect the pro-
tests which assuredly would come speeding
from the injured country; and If we our
selves proved, incapable of preventing such
outrages wherein could Mexico be blamed if
she took the problem of protection into her
own hands? The United States can be of
inestimable service in helping Mexico to de-
velop and prosper and progress if there is
just and stable government in that country
But first that kind Of government must be
established,

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
GOVERNMENT BUSINESS?
By DR.. Frank Crane


The matter with it is that it is not Bust
ness 1t is Politics.
The men who are elected to run the govern
ment are not chosen representatives of the
United States. They are representatives of
Tie Siding and Podunk, respectively They
hold office not to take care of this country
but to take care of their fences at home.
One of the most vicious results of partisan
politics is the fact that this country has no
national budget. That is, congress goes
ahead and spends money without any clear
idea of the amount they have to spend and
the relation which the various expenditures
bear to each other.
Joseph w. Hartman, president of the
Hartman National bank, in q recent article
in The Magazine of Wall Street, points out
piLhily exactly what the trouble is.
He says that in the British parliament the
chancellor of the exchequer submits a
written budget which contains an estimate of
the governments entire expenditures for the
coming year, including appropriations sala-
ries and other disbursements. Everyone can
perceive exactly what is going to be spent and
where the money will be spent and everyone
is free to criticize and suggest. The whole
procedure is an open book.
The government of the United States, on
the contrary, follows the old obsolete guess
ing method of appropriation. Expenditures
are based the demands of the heads of
different departments, often exaggerated,
never correlated, and resulting consequently
in waste and extravaganza.
The government is now in trade, says Mr..
Hartman and it ought to observe business
practices. No business house could last very
long going it blind, as the United States does.
One of the vicious by=products of the war was
the habit we have acquired Of spending money
easily for public purposes. That habit we
must break, or it will land us upon rocks that
will break us.
Both political parties have promised a
budget system. Congress will probably do
nothing unless forced by public opinion, be-
cause the liveliest influences that bear on
congress are partisan ambitions and the pork
barrel.
The force that will make congress change
Every Liberty Bond owner now has an inter-
United States, and ought to make that con-
Germ do business on business principles.
| People who buy stock in the United States
Steel corporation are given complete and de-
| tailed statements of what the company is do
ing. And it would be just as easy for the
| United States of America to form budget
system that will inform the investors and tax
payers of their government eactly what be-
comes of their money
| This is matter that every business man,
and particularly every banker, in the United
States should lay to heart and he should use
what influence he has upon his congressman
to induce our national legislature to do it's
plain, simple, obvious duty.

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

An ancient motor van usually managed to
have breakdown about once a week and
generally at a most inopportune moment In
the thick of the traffic. One day after slowly
snorting its way right into the middle of the
traffic there was sudden whirring of wheels,
loud snap, and the weary and worn frame
work came to a dead stop.

of duty to the driver, this blessed thing Is
