KING
NUTMEGS
HE popular superstition about nut
megs Is that, pierced and hung
about the neck In the manner of a
charm, they are a cure for various
physical Ills. Not long ago a school
teacher advised her pupils to wear
nutmegs In this manner to prevent
eoldsores. and the daughter of a New
Hampshire legislator wore one for a
night and day to cum earache,
Though different sections select dif
ferent diseases for which the nutmeg
Is most recommended the general be
lief Is that nutmegs are efficacious In
all diseases. The key to the supersti
tion Is found In the name of the
genus of plants to which the nutmeg
belongs, which Is myristica from the
Greek work myrlstlkoa, meaning “fit
for anointing." Though a native of
the Islands of the Indian seas the nst-
tneg. or Its kin, appears to have found
Its way, though sparingly, to Egype
and the eastern shores of the Mediter
ranean when It became known to the
Greek communities of Asia Minor and
received Its Greek name. It was the
oil produced from the covering of the
kernel of the nutmeg which was “ suit
able for anointing" and It was that
figure of speech known as metonomy
which extended the name myristlkoe
to the whole fruit.
Originally anointing bad three pur
poses—bodily health and comfort,
honor, and consecration. Reasoning
by analogy the best authorities con
sider the most ancient nse to have
been for purposes of health. The
“school-marm" advising her pnplls
to wear nutmegs around their necks
to prevent eoldsores furnishes an ex
ample of a primitive sanitary Idea de
generated through the long ages Into a
popular superstition.
