A POWERFUL MODERN FACTOR IN TREAVING THE SICK, Proceéds Not Only From One Mind | ial Objects. It is well known, says the Hol landsche Revue, that gaping is as in fectious as laughing. too, when one starts coughing in any audience, He is instantly lowed by others. A Russian physi cian relates that, at an appearance of Sarah Bernhardt in Moscow, in “La Dame aux Camelias,” the famous ac- tress, in the dying scene suddenly be- gan to cough, when the entire ence was thrown into similar though just before the silence in the house was such that one might have heard a pin drop.” The Revue then proceeds to quote from a recent article by Dr. 1, Zech andelaer showing that suggestion proceeds not only from one mind another, but even from material ob- jects, and refers to Zola's explanation of kleptomania as being caused by the sight of attractive objects displayed on counters or in shop windows, We quote: “Susceptibility one of the fundamental properties of the human soul, a knowledge and comprehension of which is of the first importance to physicians and nurses. Fear of a disease is followed by an attack of the disease dreaded To ¢ with the imagin- ary erroneous There by imagina quite different suggestion.” “Bo, to suggestions is lass such cases sick is diseases but these those caused Zechandelaer cites of this of is one: wholly are caused the tion; from Dr, stances Here “A hospital physician the hearing of the with his assistant as to the course be pursued in the Then, with much head shaking he sald to the pa- tient: ‘There is one last remedy; but it is so dangerous that I hardly to apply it; but if you have courage to risk it.
