Dr. Mlchea, a leading English physi cian, has advocated a most original method of treating diseases. He cures his patients by fright. He had ob served that in certain cases a sudden shock or fright produced a healing ef fect upon tho patient. He tfcpn carried his idea into effect by writing and sending to the patient anonymous let ters, which contained everything com plimentary he could think of, and to which the bravest would not affix his name. Excitement of the patient at receipt of such a. letter and the concentration of his mind upon the problem of finding out tho author of the abuse would cause a decided change and melancholy or hypochondria would soon taka wings. Dr. Mlchea has tried every sort of frightening methods, and, according to his statement, the effect is always bene ficial. It is nn acknowledged fact, he says, that rheumatic patients who have eith er witnessed or experienced a railway accident, begin to recover from their malady. Hysterical and eplleptlcal cases are curable by this "fright" method, ho asserts, while deaf and dumb persons have, in many Instances, regained hearing and speech through tho same means. Of course, this cure can only be ap plied in nervous diseases. It would have quite the contrary effect were It to be applied to organic diseases. m GREEN RIDGE. Mrs. W. G.
