After the ninth treatment, the girl walked into tin tloetor 's otlico tinauled. "Yesterday,"' her mother explained, "she told mo that she thought her arm felt tetter, and she found that she could raise it. Then, she said slit bolieted she could walk; and, getting out of bed, she crossed tho room without the least assist ance, and without her feet clubbing under her. ('an it be, doctor, that sho is cured?" "You liavo said it," was the reply. "She is cured." As, in fact, she was; although, of course, the magnet itself had had no power to cure her, but was used merely as an agent for an efficient "counter suggestion" to dislodge nnd to uproot tho symptom producing suggestions in the girl's own mind. Frightened Into the Normal pXCKLLKNT results have also been ob tamed in many cases of hysterical paralysis among children by the use ot what is known as the "method of sur prise," the recent invention of a (German specialist named Hruns. As employed by Hriins and his followers, this method has undoubtedly a certain aspect of brutal ity; but this more than compensated by its effectiveness. Having determined, by a searching medical examination, that the paralysis in any given case is functional and not organic, what Hruns does is to placo tho paralyzed child in a bath tub, turn on the cold water faucet, and watch the youngster climb out, and scamper off. " You see," ho then says to him, at this psychological moment, "you can walk very well, after all. Now, let us hear no more from vou about being unable to walk." Or if, for any reason, he deems the bath tub device inadvisable, his plan is to put the child to bed, to keep it entirely isolated, and to deprive it of all food for a day or so. Au appetizing meal is then brought into the room, and left some dis tance from the child's bed. Frequently, this is all that is needed to effect a cure. The. suggestion of food overcoming the suggestion of paralysis, the child gets nut of bed and starts across the room, being encountered midway by Hruns, who- of course, by accident enters tho 'room at that precise instant, and makes use of terbal suggestion to reinforce and to maintain tho "miraculous" recovory. la contrast with this method of sur prise is the "method of disregard," also originated by .Hruns and used by him in cubes of hysteria other than those involv ing muscular paralysis cases, for ex ample, of obsessions, facial "tics," spasms, or couvulsivo seizures. In em ploying the method of disregard, tho little patient is carefully watched by both doctors and nurses, but in such a manner that he is led to believe they are paying scarcely any attention to him. As a re sult, tho idea that, despite his own belief, his malady must be quite insignificant, gradually takes increasing possession of him, and in proportion as it does so tho hysterical symptoms disappear. ' Hut, the reader may ask, does this truly mean that tho hysteria itself has leen cured f Do not these methods, one and all, achieve, merely the removal of symp toms? Is not the child still suggestible enough to develop a new variety of hys terical disturbances, should occasion arise? Such objections are not without force, though in practice it has lioen observed that the cure of the symptoms by sug gestion does actually seem to weaken the tendency to future hysterical outbreaks of anv kind. To be on the safe side, how ever, it is always well to institute environ mental changes of a sort that will mako for a constantly closer approach by the child to a normal life. And with this, wo come to the point that is of supreme interest to parents. Hysteria Bred in the Home A IjMOST without exception it is in tho " homo tlurt tho seeds are sown which may afterward bear the bitter fruit of hysteria, whether bearing it in childhood or not until some critical period comes in later years. It is the child who is" spoiled," who is kept by unwise parents in a state of nervous tension nnd excitement, whoso sense of moral responsibility is not prop erly deeloped. nnd whose natural sug gestibility is unduly heightened by the su perstitions, fears, and eccentricities of its elders; it is this unfortunate child who, soon or late, may bo counted on to mani fest some hysterical taint, perhaps not of the extreme type illustrated by the cases mentioned above, but nevertheless of a sort making against its happiness, useful ness, nnd success hi the world of active effort. "It has been my observation," said a distinguished ncrvo specialist to me, a short while ago, "that hysterical chil dren usually have hysterical, neurotic par ents. At first, I was disposed to sec in this another evidence of the dread work ings of heredity. Hut I am now inclined to tho belief that it illustrates rather the influence of environment. All children, as you know, are essentinlly imitative. They tend to copy, with exaggerations, whatever models are placed before them, and instinctively they take their parents as their chief models. If, then, the par ents are llighty, excitable, passing rapid ly from extreme to extreme of mood, it is only natural that the children should be likewise. Their mind undisciplined, their will power undeveloped, they easily fall a prey to the baneful, hysteria-producing suggestions of their unhealthy surround ings. "To make matters worse, there is often, even among well educated per sons, an amazing disregard of the hygien ic and dietetic requirements for neural stability. Children are allowed to sit up to unreasonable hours; they are permitted altogether too frequent attendance nt par ties, theaters, moving picture shows, and similar places of entertnininent, where they receive impressions of a novelty and massiveness too great for them to absorb easily. Then, too, there is a tendency to give them nt their meals an undue allow mice of meat, and to permit them to drink tea, coffee, and other stimulants tending to nerve disturbance, "All the while they are living in an at mosphere of parental uneasiness and tin rest. Their mothers and, perhaps, their fathers also fuss and fume over them. They delight, it may be, in ' showing them off' to admiring visitors, thus suggesting to the already over-impressionable little ones improper notions of their impor tance. In their presence, the parents dis cuss matters of a character bound to con vey disquieting ideas. Presently, signs of trouble appear restless sleep, 'night terrors,' facial 'tics,' possibly even full blown attacks of hysterical convulsions, paralysis, deafness, or what not and tho neurologist has another patient on his hands." The Duty of Every Parent SURELY, tho duty of parents is plain. To set before their children from earliest infancy examples of placidity and strength of character, to educate their will no less than their intellect, to guard them as inr as possible from all harmful suggestions, to love them without idol izing them, to study carefully their phys ical as well as their mental and moral needs in this way, and in this way alone, can safetv bo had against tho droad menace of iiysteria nnd allied nerv ous troubles. Every year it becomes a question with tho housewife how to put tho stove pipe away so that it will not rust. 1 have tried the following plan for several years, and it works perfectly on any kind of stove pipe: Take sweet oil and rub it on tho pipe with a cloth. Then, wrap tho pipe in a sheet of newspaper, and rest easy from the fear of rust. Sweet oil is also effective in removing finger prints from a Russian iron pipe. I find that by follow ing your suggestions, I save money, and I believe that others will find my "Wrinkle" to bo a good one. A good many housekeepers find diffi culty in getting the cuffs on soft shirts stiff enough. Here is my "New Wrinklo." Vllen makiug clear starch, take enough out while warm and put in a separate pan; dissolve threo teaspooasful of gum arabic in two tablespoons of hike-warm water, and when smooth nnd thick add to tho warm starch. My old mammy told me that years ago, but I never tried it until re cently, and it proved such a help to mo that I thought 1 would let others know.
