ITS ULTIMATE POSSIBILITY. la 1889 the export of Canadian cheese to this country was 88,543,887 pounds, by 1894 it had increased nearly 50 per cent” and in 1895 was about $1,500,000 greater than in 1894. To come to plain figures, the value of what was con" signed to Great Britain in 1889 was {only $174,027. while in 1895 it had risen to $536,797, and in 1896 showed a, still further advance of over $100,000.

One of the most interesting illustrn- tione of the power at the mind over the body was related by Dr. Splints. the well-known slienist, at one of the meet- ings of the American Neurological As- sociation. Every one bu read with seep- ticiem of the apparent " miracles " wrought by sacred relics. in curing the halt, the sick and the blind. Disciples ot " faith cures" have sanetimee produc- ed results in their patients which have puzzled the most intelligent. These cures. whenever they are real. are at- tributed by scientific men to the pow- er of the mind over the body. Dr. Spitzks'e story and the expert- ences of Dr. Weir Mitchell, show how much the learned physicians rely at times upon the imaginations of their patients. Dr. Spitzka declined for profession- al reasons to repeat for publication the story which he told the Neurological Association; but here are the facts. A LITTLE LEARNING DANGEROUS. A young woman of good personal and family history had new: to amedicnl library and became deeply interested in the clinical history ot disease. She became like the mm in Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat." who. after reading a medical work, Buttered in his own per- Ion every disease described. except, housemaid's knee. Dr. Spitzka's young woman confin- ed her imagined ailment to a single diseases-abdominal tumor. She became thoroughly familiar with all the symp- toms of this dreadful malady and promptly imagined herself the victim of it. Her sufferings were intense, and her friends became convinced that her worst fears were justified. The physi- cians in attendance were, however, de- cidedly sceptical. Her youth and the absence of certain proofs convinced them that the case was one of hysteria. After exhausting all the usual means the doctors determined to consent. to the performance of a. dangerous oper- ation for the removal of the tumor. The girl hersett was caretully prepared for the operation for several days. The room in her own residence in which it was to be performed was stripped of wallpaper, carpet. and prepared with hospital-like cleanliness and barren- The surgeon with his assistants and the trained nurses came upon the scene. The. girl was carried into the operating room, in which. contrary to the usual practice, all the surgeons' knives and paraphernalia were spread out in full View of the patient. The physicians and trained nurses stood around the oper- ating table upon which the girl lay. She was then carefully elherized. (three hours later, when she was al- lowed to recover consciousness, she wu too weak to raise her hand. She found herself carefully stitched up with ela- borate and cumbersome surgeons' dress- ings. and she knew that a deep inci- eion had been made half the length of her body. She felt the irritation of the wound, and the fading dey told her that she had been three or four hours under the influence of other. perfectly unconscious. She was thankful toflnd herself alive, although she felt like the ghost of hereelfh U -- 7 "Yrs" two Week: the result was all that the clever physicians had antioipued-- she was completely cured. ' THE EXHBURE. The specialist told her again and again how remarkable was her escape. and requested as a privilege that he might describe in her preeence' to several young physicians the operation which had been performed. showing them, at the same times how completely the wound had healed. The young woman consented to go to a private hospital for that purpose, accompanied by a member of her fam.. ily, and with a veil thrown over her face she again took her place on the operating table in a private clinic, to enable the surgeon to illustrate to his class the difficult operation which had been performed with such happy re. BU ta. This time there was. of course. no eth- er and the patient heard described all that she had, undergone. The lecture be- ing finished she was escorted from the olinie hy the grateful physician, who speedily returned to his admiring class and said: "The irritation from this alight scratch, the abstinence trom. food, the effects of ether and the imagination did the rest. The yqung woman really felt the pains of the disease which she dread- ed. It the fictitious operation had been conducted with lean painstaking care she would not have been deceived and might have easily drifted into a state of hopeless invahdism, As it is, she is abgqlutely ted.", - BmTLED. l. -N.
