FRIGHT AS A CUBE.
Some Ideas of an English Physician
on the Subject.
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.
