Mrs. Emijie Charlotte Langtry, familiarly known as the “Jersey Lily,” has formally joined the army of Mnical nincompoops who are undertaking to change the original and legitimate meaning of the Word “sick,” and substitute for it what they con- ceive tobe the more elegant term “iL” The fol- lowing scene in a Brooklyn court room was de- seribed In the New York papers sometime ago: dir. Hummel—Were you sick on Mrs, Langtry—Sick? I do not understand you. Mr. Bowers—Are sure understand what is meant by oe io Mrs. Langtry—Well, here every afiment ts sick- ness. In Engiand we mean nausea by No, I was not sick on Tuesday, but I was {Il ‘This ts the merest Dosh. What light do the Bible and Shakespeare—those “wells of English unde- filed”—throw upon the point raised by Mrs Langtry and the weak-mtndea noodles who are so careful to make the same distinction she does? When “the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s ‘wife bore unto David, and it was very sick,”—so Sick that “4t came to pass on the seventh day that the child died,”—was tt a mere case of nausea? ‘When the house of Jeroboam was cut off by the death of Abijah, his son, who “fell sick,” are we to ‘Suppose that queasiness was thy agency chosen by ‘the Lord for that purpose ? It will be remembered, too, that the child of the widow woman who fed Elijak from her inexhausti- ble barrel and cruse “fell sick; and his sickness was ‘So sore that there was no breath left in him.” This ‘Was probably something more serious than a simple disturbance of the stomach, whatever they may think of it in England. When “Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber, that was in Samaria, and was sick,” would a little dose of peppermint have brought him out all right ? The Bible tells us, also, that Joram the son of Ahab “was sick * * of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria”; but the modern fine-spun authorities will probably hold that what ailed nim was only a little uneasiness of the stom- ach, arising from something he had eaten. Likewise is It written that “ Elisha was fallen Sick of the sickness whereof he diea”; and that, after giving directions toward the freeing of his country from the Syrians, “he died, and they buried him”; but this was also probably a case of “illness,” not “sickness,” as was reported at the time. Furthermore it is sald that “in those days was Hezekiah sick unto death”; but as his life was pro- longed for fifteen years, this must have been a case of sure-enough “sickness,” according to the new interpretation; and the cure was probably brought about by the use of a little homeopathic pellet to Prevent nausea, instead of in pursuance of thesign given by the Lord in turning the shadow on the dial ten degrees backward, as has been recorded. W hen Moses promised, among other blessings for his people, that “the Lord will takeaway from thee all sickness,” were those alone who were suffering from nausea only tobe cared for? Why were the large number who must have been “ill,” according to present good English form, to be left in their misery? Again, what did Moses mean when he threatened that “every sickness and every plague” should be brought upon the people, until they were destroyed, Af they disobeyed the law? Actording to the finical critics of these times there 1s only one “sickness,” and that is “nausea.” And what did Elljah mean when he said: “And thou shalt have great sickness by diseases of thy bowels,” etc.? Nausea pertains to the stomach, not to the bowels, as Mrs. Langtry, or any of ber followers, could tell him. Isaiah, too, says: “He will cut me off with pining Sickness.” Do Langtry & Co. claim that the turn- ing of one’s stomach 1s a “pining sickness,” such a8 ‘Was meant by the prophet? So much for the Oid Testament. Let us examine the New: Matthew says that they brought to Jesus “all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments.” In the view of Mrs. Langtry and her like, however, this statement must have been an exaggeration, or a sitp of the pen on the part of Matthew. These were plainly cases of “illness.” “Himself took our infirmities and bare our sick- nesses,” says Matthew again. Can it be that this applies only to an unsettled stomach, as the new ‘teachers would have us believe? The same inspired writer tells, in another place, that “Jesus went forth and saw a great mul- titude, and was moved with compassion towards them, and He healed their sick.” Is it to be sup- Posed, as we are now tayght, that the ministrations of our Savior on this occasion were confined to ‘those who were suffering from nausea only? Luke writes that Jesus sent his twelve disciples “to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the Sick.” Again the “ill” are overlooked! According to John, “acertain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany;” but as this Lazarus died, his must have been a case of “lilness,” and John was doubtless mistaken, or careless in the use of the language chosen to express the fact. ‘So, too, as to the case of Dorcas, recorded in the ninth chapter of Acts, where it is sald that this Woman “full of good works and almsdeeds” “was Sick and died.” She surely must have been “ill.’ Persons rarely die of nausea. £neas, referred to in the same chapter, must also have been “ill” of the palsy, and not “sick of the Palsy,” a8 written; since to be “sick,” as we are now told, only indicates a propensity to vomit. ‘The father of Publius, who, it was alleged, “lay sick Of a fever on the tsland called Melita,” must also have been “ill,” because to heal him it was ne- cessary for Paul to pray and lay on of hands) Had he been only “sick,” according tothe new inter- Preters,a much simpler remedy would have re- stored him. As to Epaphroditus, the “brother and companion in labor of Paul,” who “was sick nigh unto death,” his must have been only a severe case of retching, and the usually stout-hearted Apostle was unduly alarmed about him. Paul must likewise have been unnecessarily ex- cited about Trophimus, whom, as he tells Timothy, he “left at Miletum sick.” ‘Trophimus was un- doubtedly “ill.” Had he been suffering from qualm- ishness, only, Paul would hardly have left him behind. He would have been no worse off on the vessel in which they sailed the treacherous Medi- terranean. And why should Matthew speak of Jesus “heal- ing all manner of sickness,” and “nealing every sickness,” when there can be only one kind of sick- ness? and that is to feel squeamish, as we are told. Many more examples of the use of the term “sick” and “sickness” in both the Old and New Testament might be cited; but certainly no more are needed to show that the common use of those words is entirely correct, and that the limited meaning sought to be put upon them by the fastid- tous purists of the present day is not sanctioned by the highest authority we have. As to the word “dil,” 1 does not any where appear in the Bible as an equivalent or substitute for “sick.” Wherever used, it ts in another sense, entirely, as “tl- favored;”why dealt ye so ill with me?” “It went ill with Moses;” “if it seem {to thee;” “ill in their dotngs;” “love worketh no ill,” &c.,&. The word “{lIness” does not any where appear in the Inspired book, from the beginning of Genesis to the last word of Revelations. So far as these affected English people and those Americans who affect their silly ways were sat down upon? —_____~e»______ Eacp stein een ited od fond shop Matthew Simpson bequeaths Tus tees of the M.
