IRVING 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.
