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.
