CURE FOR NosE-sLEED
BY II lRDING KING

\ MANY sections of the country IT
is believed that wearing a red bean
strung on a string around the neck
VIII cure, or prevent, n~ose-bleed. This
is a survival of primitive mans belief
IN sympathetic magic-speciically that
part of il which is classified as homeo-
pathic or initiative magic and which
depends upon the law of similarity.
The ancients worked this magic both
ways. When it was a case of action
in general it was a case of like causes
ike. But when it has strictly a cura-
tive process it was like cures like"
This belief can be traced far back
through the ages and prevails today
among nearly all peoples who are in a
primitive state. The old Greeks and
Romans used to cure jaundice by
means of the s~tone-curlew, whose large
yellow eye, we are assured by Plu-
tafch and Pliny, drew out" the dis
ease from the patient and the German
peasants today use red birds to draw
OUT st. Anthony's fire or relieve pa
tents flushed with fever.
Anything red or yellow is supposed
to be beneficial in cases where the dis
ease manifests iteslf by a like color.
1t will readily be seen, then, how a red
bean worn around the neck should,
according to the ancient principles of
sympathetic magic, ure or prevent
nose-bleed. The relation between the
primitive mans magic and the modern
mans science is interesting. Frazer
says of sympathetic magic that it "as-
sumes that things act upon each other
at a distance through a secret SYM
pathy, the impulse being transmitted
from n to the other by means of
what we may conceive as a kind of in
visible ether, not unlike that which is
postulated by modern science for pre-
cisely similar purpose, namely. to ex-
plain how things can physically affect
each other through a space which ap-
pears to be empty"
