Without doubt very many of the ailments under which human . beings suffer, and even die, can be enumerated as at least closely allied to imaginary ills. Of late discussions and investigations are almost demonstrating that the dreaded hydrophobia exists only in the imagination. In speaking of this disease, and of course in its connection, ot its cure by the ,4 madstone" process a description ot a special stone .owned by Mr. Moses in this county we recently published we find from gleaning that two eminent .specialists recently gave their opinions that belief in the curative powers of the madstone is the merest superstition. In so describ ing it Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Spitzka undoubtedly expressed the sentiment of the medical profession generally. They have no more laith in the ability of the madstone to cure hydrophobia than scientific men have confidence in the virtues of the divining rod to discover mines and treasures. Yet there is no superstition older, more exten sive, and of gi eater vitality than tills belief in the madstone. It goes back to the most ancient times. For ages it has continued in China and the Eaot Indies, and Pliny speaks of the ability of the petrifaction called aminonis cornu, and now known as ammonite, to extract the virus from wounds in flicted by mad dogs and venomous reptiles. This stone is the fossil of tike on the appearance of hydro phobia. The manifestations under hysteria aie often to the last degree startling and horrifying, and there i3 no doubt that the imagination is capable of creating what seems to be a case of rabies, with all the frightful symptoms attributed to it. The person bitten is thrown into a condition of abject terror by the excitement of the chase of the mob after the equally terrified dog, and he and his friends liye here after in constant, dread of the con- aecmences. Tnus n comes to pass that finally his own imagination brines on him what seems to be the expected disease. The sufferer, as Dr. Sp'tzka says, dies from frieht. That is the irue explana tion of the great majority of what a-e called cases of hydrophobia, and, of course .maginary cures may avail in imaginary diseases. The scientific physician constantly j uses the imagination in this way with purely nervous affections, and quacks, charlatans, and fanatics have always employed it success fully. Very often men may get well by determining to do so, or, in tho case of women more espe cially, by reaching the true conclu sion that they are well, after all. Therein lies such potency as the mind cures and faith cures have, and to that extent they may be useful. The madstone curee be cause its curative power is believed in. But the true remedial agent is not the stone ammonite or the secretion of the deer. It is the faith alone. Very likely such cures as are accredited to i asteur s method of inoculation are also due to the wonder working power of the human imagination. 1889 1HB MORNING- WTiWAT.1): HATTTBDAr, APRIL 27 1889. 88 1 889 SPRING AND SUMMER 1 889 SPECIALTIES- Lafe' Dress Goods andTrimmiogs The thrifty Canadians who have made applications to American swindlers for "green goods" are placed in an awkward position. Their letters were sent to the Dead Letter Office in Washington and by the officials turned over to the Dominion authorities. Thus the police have a full list of the men who wanted to cheat their fellow citizens with spurious paper money. What makes the matter noteworthy is that many of the people are of good reputation. It would seem that after the thorough exposure of this "green goods" swindle .which everv newspaper in the country an ovtinM mnlincik and one baa tivti irfinuentlv. no one could VI U awamw T J " O 1 brought from Bombay to Richmond J be found witli a sufficient mixture of cupidity and credulity to swallow the tempting bait thrown out, but this Canadian incident proves that the sharpest will always reap a harvest until the average man be comes more honest.

But the mad stone at present in use is described as a formation found in the blad ders of deer. At least such a specimen was obtained by the Geologic il Purvey in North Caro lina five or six years ago.

As it is a pi ruus stone it operates, ii it operates at all, by absorption, but in that ie3pect, as Dr. Hamilton says, it has no more curative power than a common sponge. Any porous substance applied to a wound would act in the same way. Ths belief in the madstone as acurefor hydrophobia , moreover, only oneamonj; many superstitions as to the methods cf dealing with that terrible disease which hav been held in both ancient and modern times. It is a question, too, whether the disease itself is not imaginary quite as much as teal, and for that reason especially adapted for the use of superstitious mean? of cure mad stones, incantations, charms and faith cures. Both Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Spitzka express some skepticism on this point. Few physicians allege that they have seen a genuine case of hydrophobia in man, and Dr. Spitzka goes so far as to say that real rabies, trans missible from dog to man by a bite of the dog only, has not yet been demonstrated. In the great ma jority of cases, at least, it is a pure ly imaginary disease, and in others fclood-pisioning or lockjaw may furnish the explanation. But people will answer that in their i own experience they have known of rabies of men, women and children dying in horribfe tortures because of the bites of mad dogs. From this time forth until the end of the summer many alleged cases will lc iejorted in the newspapers. Whole communities, very likely, will be terrified by doss regarded as mad, as happened in Newark a few years ao, and there w ill be a wild demand for the slaughter and extermination of the entire canine creation. To these the physicians answer that this very terror may provoke nervous maladies which, among their manifold foims, will ID In brovvm and bleached.
