Dangerous shoals avoided
Such books as will rule disease out of mortal mind, -
and so efface the images and thoughts of dis-
ease, instead of impressing them with forcible
descriptions and medical details, - will help
to abate sickness and to destroy it.
Many a hopeless case of disease is induced by a single
post mortem examination, - not from infection nor from
contact with material virus, but from the fear of the
disease and from the image brought before the mind; it
is a mental state, which is afterwards outlined on the
body.
