' The great Galen, one of the "father
of medicine," boldly proclaimed It to be
such over II centuries ago. and modern
London Is Inclined to take the same view
of the matter. For modern London,

question. Letters from the scene of
this wordy warfare state that all known
authorities on the subject of the "divine
passion" have been dragged into print
Acocrdlng to one well-known doctor,
Galerv in his voluminous medical writ
ings, cites the first case on record
where clove' was treated by a physician
as a recognised form of illness. This
treatment was given by Galen himself
In the second century to a haughty
Roman lady, wife of the patrician Me
nlppus. All the learned medical men of
the then fashionable world failed to al
leviate her ailment and gave up her case
as incurable. ; Mme. Menlppus then, as
a last resort, summoned Galen, who bad
recently arrived with a glowing repute
tlon from the schools of Asia Minor, and
he promptly diagnosed the complaint aa
aa attack of "love sickness." Pylades,
a . handsome young knight, whom the
womau had seen one or twice, but did
not know, was declared to be the cause
of, the disease. The beating of the pa

only means he had of Judging the nature
of her affltcation. ' He falls to state.

century. The learned German, Gregor-
lus Horstlua, published a long thesis In
favor of the contention In 1111, and In
1614 Lamandua supported him in a neat

of Love and the Cures for Love-Mad-

At Olasen, In Germany, in the Hth

the nobility and gentry. Both aides to

question at issue being the form it as
