The opinion ia supported by the etatementa of one of the beet medical men in Paris, who in 1849 was a physician in the great hospital there, the Hotel Dieu. In that year thia hospital was narticnlorly fomons for the cures effected in it, and many were tfae hypochondriacs whoso imaginations sent them home well after a stay in its wards. One odd case was that of a young girl in the department of tho Ain, whom a sudden fnght had rendered dumb and paralyzed.
