From the Boston Herald.
Odd and curious people are frequent
ly met with. They are usually an af
fliction to their Intimates because of
their continuul complaints of not feel
ing well or not being "Just right," etc.
Some inconsiderate people may blame
them, but the fact Is they are more
objects of pity than of censure. They
are known to the medical fraternity as
hypochondriacs, and their disease for
disease it Is is one that Is character
ized by extreme sensibility of the ner
vous system, leading tho patient to be
lieve himself to be suftering from some
terrible imaginary disease, or to be
much worse than he reully Is. The
ideas bf such a person often partake of
the most extravagant character. .e
may fancy that he is inuyensely tail
or Inordinately small: Unit he was
heavy as lead or us light as a feather;
that he is composed of glass or is a
lump of butter. Such people are ex
tremely timid, and their fears are ex
ercised upon trllles or are altogether
groundless. They dwell constantly
upon their own sufferings, nnd are
usually morose, peevish, suspicious and
misanthropic, and frequently suspect
their dearest friends of designs upon
their life.
A story is told of a French physician
In the lust century who. having been
consulted by a person subject to the
most gloomy fits of melancholy, ad
vised his patient to mix in scenes of
gayety and dissipation, und jiarticu
larly to frequent the itullan theater,
adding: "If Coil in i (a famous come
dian in his day) does not dispel your
gloomy complaint, your case must be
desperate indeed." "Alas, sir," said
the patient, "1 myself am .Cariinl, and
while I divert all Paris with mirth,
and make them almost die with laugh
ter, 1 myself am dying with melan
choly and chngrln." There are some
instances of men carrying the imagi
native faculty to a great height. Tul
plus mentions a painter who verily be
lieved that all the bones of his body
were so soft ami HexMble that they
might be crushed together or folded
one within another, like pieces of pli
able wax. A story Is told of the man
who was persuaded that his nose
wns grown to that prodiglus length
nnd greatness that it was a great hind
rance. The physician cured him by
holding concealed a long stuffed hlng
like a sausage to his nose, and taking
hold of the liypochondftac's nose,
scratched that with an Instrument.,
dexterously pretending lie had whipped
off tho excrescence.
AFRAID TO SIT DOWN.
Three different authors tell of a per
son so extremely nervous that he im
agined his lower extremities to be made
of glass. He did not dnre to sit down
lest a simnle or compound fracture
might ensue. A Portuguese physician
had a patient who insisted that he
wns perpetually frozen, und would sit
before a great fire even In dog days.
The doctor procured him a dress of
rough sheepskins), saturated with alco
hol, and, laying him down, set him on
fire. The patient then declared he was
quite warm, rather too much so, and
was cured.
There Is an account of a servant, at
Cremona. Italy, who verily persuaded
himself that he was the pope and had
formed a consistory of cardinals, arch
bishops, and bishops in his chamber.
At a certain hour in the day he would
seat himself in a chair, like a newly
created pope, extending his foot to be
kissed, entertaining ambassadors, mak
ink cardinals, despatching bulls, and
ordaining otllcers for the see apostoli
cal. This lit, when It was upon him,
gave him, it seems, a marvellous pleas
ure. In ancient Greece there was a
man who kept a number of cats, with
which he took great pleasure, persuad
ing himself and telling others that they
were lions. Galon makes mention of
people who fancied themselves earth
en pots, and who carefully avoided be
ing touched, for fear they should be
broken. Menedetius, a cynic philoso
pher of Rome, became a hypochondriac,
and went around in the dress of a fury,
saying he was sent as a messenger
from hell to bring the devil an account
of the sins of all mortals. Another
Unman fancied that he was dead. When
his friends urged him to eat he re
fused, saying: "It is In vain with the
dead." Fearing that this obstinacy
would prove his death it being the sev
enth day on which he persisted In his
fast his friends had brought Into his
room; which was purposely made dark,
some fellows wrapped in their shrouds.
Meat and drink were brought In of
which the supposed corpses began to
eat and drink. The sick man. seeing
this, asked them who they were and
what they were doing. They told him
they were dead persons. "How is this?
Do the dead eat?" he queried. "Yes,
to be sure they do: and If you will sit
down with us you shall find it so." The
invalid sprang out of bed nnd joined
the deail men In their feast. Supper
ended, the wine which hud been furn
ished completed the cure.
THOUGHT MIS HEAD OFF.
There Is the case of an Insane French
watchmaker, who Insisted that he had
been guillotined, nnd that another head
had afterward, by mistake, been put on
his shoulders insteud of bis own. "Look
at these teeth." he would say. "Mine
were extremely handsome. These are
rotten and decayed. My mouth was
sound und healthy: this Is foul. How
different is this hair from that of my
own head!" Henvenuto Cellini, the cel
ebrated Florentine artist, in his me
moirs, relates that the governor of the
custle In which he was nt one time con
fined, had a periodical disorder, but
every year he bad a different whim.
One time ho Imagined that he was
metamorphosed into a pitched of oil;
at another time he Imagined himself a
frog, and began to leap as such; again,
he Imagined he was dead, nnd It was
found necessary to humor his conceit
by making a show of burying him. At
length he thought himself a bat, and
when he went to take a walk, he some
times made just such a noise as bats do.
He likewise made gestures with his
arms and body, as If Hying.
A celebrated physician of France, on
a Journey, was obliged to stop at Bor
deaux. His presence In the-city being
known the handsomest women Hocked
around him complaining of weak
nerves. He made no reply, nor did he
prescribe any remedies. Pressed for a
time to explain the reason of his silence,
he said, in a very ocular tone and man
ner: "These are not nervous complaints
they proceed from the falling sick-

ness." The next day there was not a
woman in Bordeaux who complained of
her nerves. The fear of being suspect
ed of having a grave malady cured
them in an Instant. The conduct of
this physician showed that he was a
man of acuteness and penetration.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CASIH.
The following most extraordinary
event happened In Lincolnshire, Eng
land, in the autumn of 184. The vio
lence of a fall from a horse deprived
Sir Henry F. of his faculties, and he lay
In a comatose condition for several
hours. At length his recollection re
turned, and he faintly asked: "Where
am I?" and looking up found himself
In the arms of a venerable old man.
"Fear not." said the bitter, "yonder
house Is mine. 1 will support you to It
there you shall be comforted." The
stricken mm expressed his gratitude,
and they walked slowly to the house.
The friendly assistance of the old gen
tleman and his servants soon restored
the victim of the accident to his reason.
Dinner being announced the good old
man entreated the gentleman to join
the party, he accepted the Invitation,
and was shown into a large hall, where
he found sixteen covers, the party con
sisting of as many persons no ladies
being present. The old man took the
head of the table; an excellent dinner
was served, and rational conversation
gave a zest to the repast. The gentle
man on the left of Sir H. asked him
to drink a glass of wine, when the old
man. In a dignified and authoritative
tone, at the same time extending his
hand, said "No!" Sir H. was astonished
at the singularity of the check, yet, un
willing to offend, remained silent.
The instant the dinner was over the
old man left the room, when one of the
company addressed the newcomer In
the following words: "By what mis
fortune have you been unhappily
brought here by that unfeeling man
who has Just quitted the room? O, sir,
you will have ample cause to curse the
hour that put you In his power, for you
have no prospect In this world but mis
ery and oppression, perpetually subject
to the capricious humor of that old
man. You will remain In this mansion
for the remainder of your days. Your
life, as mine is, will became burden
some, and, driven to despair, your life
will glide on with regret and melan
choly reflection, In one cold and miser
able sameness. This, alas," said the
speaker, "has been my lot for fifteen
years; and not mine only, but the lot
of every one you see here since their
arrival in this cursed abode!" The pa
thetic manner that accompanied this
cheerless declaration, and the singular
behavior of the old man at dinner
aroused In Sir H.'s breast a sen
timent of horror, and he was
lost In thought for some minutes.
Then he said: "By what authority
can any man detain me against my
will? I will not submit. I will oppose
him force to force if necessary!"
"Ah, sir," exclaimed another of the
guests, "your argument Is Just, but
your threats are vain. The old man.
sir. Is a magician: we know It by fateil
experience. Your attempt wou!d
prove futile, and your punishment
would be dreadful. "I will endeavor
to escape," said Sir Henry. "Your
hopes are groundless," rejoined a third
gentleman, "for it was but hree
months ago that In an attempt to es
cape I broke my leg." Another said
he had broken his arm, and that many
had been killed by fans In their en
deavor to escape. Others had sudden
ly disanepared and had never been
heard of.

a servant entered the room and said
his master wished to see him. "Do not
go," said one. "Take my advice." said
another, "and for God's sake do not
go." The servant told Sir Henrv he
had nothing to fear, and legged he
would follow him to his master. This
he did, and found the old man seated
at a table covered with a dessert and
wine. He arose when Sir Henry en
tered the room nnd asked pardon for
the apparent rudeness he was tinder
necessity of committing nt dinner.
"For," said he. "1 am Dr. Willis. You

fears being then allayed, he spent a
pleasant evening with the doctor.
