Another delusion regarding cholera ts that fear of the dis- ease will produce it in many persons. Assistant, Sanitary Superintendent Janes, of New York, sald: “IU Is tinpossible that fear would cause any person to have the cholera in the absence of exposure to the germs of the disease. Fright and anxiety have been known to cause diarrhoea and other physical disturbances; but contagious diseases are not pro- duced in that way. Doubtless fear would hasten ‘the death of a person suffering trom cholera, but a person who fs not afraid of cholera need not sup- | pose that he is Sure not to catch it for that reason, po he fs exposed under certain circumstances. Tné fer to resist disease depends matuly upon the phystcat health of a person, Fear may sometimes cause a general debility which will weaken the power of resistance.
