A Scientific
Investigation
Of the Power of Mind
Over Matter.
By LADD LIVINGSTONE
The College of Physldnns ami Sur
geons of Monteola was holding Its
commencement. Miss Elolse Stanford,
it girl distinctly feminine, one whose
countenance indicated that she wits
mode to love and be loved, snt In the
audience. One of the graduating class,
Henry Duckworth, read a paper on
faith elites.
Miss Stanford from the moment
young Duckworth took the rostrum
wns evidently attracted to him.’ Her
mother, who snt near her, noticed that
her daughter was looking nt him cov
etously, and something Indicating an
infatuation grew us the doctor proceed
ed. Then, when he haul finished and
given way amid applause to the next
speaker, It seemed to the mother that
the light of the world had for Elolse
been extinguished.
Front that day the girl wns changed.
A singularly happy disposition scouted
to ltnve been clouded, if not with mel
ancholy, at least with a certain dream
iness. Then a tinge of color that had
always been present In her fair skin
began to fade.
Mrs. Stanford had her suspicions
that otto of those quick heart surren
ders which so often occur in very
young persons bad taken place in her
daughter and the object of her yearn
ings was young Dr. Duckworth. The
mot,her suggested that the family phy
sician be called in, but Eloise objected
saying tlmt there was nothing the
matter with her; she was only a little
run down. She would take a tonic
that she had taken before and that
had built up her strength.
Eloise took the tonic, but no effect
wns visible. The girl continued to be
dreamy and to decline steadily. Final
ly, without consulting her, Mrs, Stan
ford sent for the family physician, Dr.
Gilbrullh, told him that her daughter
was ailing utul asked him to see her.
The doctor was introduced to the pa
tient, made the usual (Inquiries, felt
her pulse, took her temperature und lis
tened to her heart beat. Then he made
his report to the mother that lie could
discover no organic difficulty and
thought the girl was simply run down
Since a tonic 4tad not sufficed, he rec
ommended a trip. Mrs. Stanford was
confirmed by this report in her own
theory.
“It’s her heart, doctor,” she said
"I assure you, Mrs. Stanford, that I
examined Iter heart carefully, and Its
action Is perfect.”
Mrs. Stanford then gave- the doctor
an account of her daughter's having
listened to the thesis of young Dr.
Duckworth, his evident effect, upon her
and her own belief that Elolse had
fallen in love. Dr. GUbralth listened
to the recital attentively, remarking
that the graduate was proving the
truth of his assertions of mind over
matter at the very moment he was
uttering them. When the conference
was finished Dr. Gilbrnith took his de
parture, having promised to think the
matter over.
In a day or two the family physician
called again at the Stanfords’ and aft
er the usual pulse feeling und Inquiries
said to the patient:
With my large practice I am un
able to give your case the attention It
requires. Your trouble is mental and
through the mind has affected the
body. I don't mean thut your mind is
diseased nor that it Is in an abnormal
condition. It Is simply affected, as tlie
minds of young persons are liable
lie affected, by some especial—in your
ease—hidden cause. A young man of
my acquaintance, a recent graduate of
the college of physicians and surgeons,
has taken up the study of the effec
of mind over mutter und purposes to
make it a specialty.”
The doctor, whose Intention was
partly to diagnose his patient's mal
ady, called by hts last sentence a faint
color to Eloise’s cheek. The heart
theory was confirmed.
"I propose that you shall be placed
under observation, my friend Dr. Duck
worth being the observer.”
Dr. Gilbraith saw the faint color that,
had come In Eloise’s cheek deepen into
scarlet. He proceeded: *
"The doctor will visit you occasional
ly, question you as to your symptoms,
give you such correctives as you may
need, but his principal aim will be to
discover this subtle something that is
affecting your brain and, through your
brain, your body.”
Pretending not to notice his patient’s
blushes, the doctor withdrew and, find
ing Mrs. Stanford in the library below,
said to her:
‘‘I have done a bit of diagnosing of
your daughter’s case and have found
that you have preceded me in a cor
rect theory. Your daughter's disease
is, as you have surmised, in the heart.”
Dr. Gilbraith then repeated what he
hud said to Eloise und proposed to her
mother that he should place Dr. Duck
worth in charge with the intent that
he should effect a cure.
“But, doctor,” the lady protested,
“the young inau 'will at once see that
m.v daughter is"—
“Excuse me, madam; lie will do no
such thing. A conceited prig supposes
every girl he meets to be in love with
him: a modest gentleman is usually
devoid of uny perspective faculty what-
I
ever as to the fact that n heart is at
his disposal. Dr. Duckworth Is a very
bright inau and. being a young man.
Is certain of many things he will doubt
when older. The one plain symptom
fight under Ids nose he will fall to see."
The matter having boon tints timing,
ed, so far as the Stanfords were con-
ernctl, It only remained for Dr. Gil
brnith to broach the matter to Duck
worth. He called upon the young man,
assumed a serious bearing and, stating
Miss Stanford's condition, using every
medical phrase that would suit ills pur
pose, explained ids suspicion that some
effect as being produced on Miss
Stanford's body through her brain and
offered the case to the young Investi
gator. Duckworth wns much interest
ed and accepted the work with alac
rity.
Dr. Gilbrnith accompanied Dr. Duck
worth on ills first visit to Eloise Stan
ford and before entering tIn* room said
to him:
"There is a tendency of the heart to
throw the blood to the surface, doc
tor. Anything unusual, such as the
meeting or a stranger, will produce this
effect. I think you will notice it. on our
entrance.”
The warning was well timed, for the
moment Eloise’s eyes fell upon L)r.
Duckworth her blushes told the nature
of her disease so plainly that perhaps
even the young physician might, have
discovered it had not lie been led to
believe that the symptom arose from
some purely physical cause. The in
vestigator was duly Introduced, and
Dr. Gilbraith. in order to impress the
patient, made some suggestions to him
in such high sounding medical terms
that it is questionable if even the lat
ter wns familiar with them all. The
introduction and suggestions having
been finished, Dr. Gilbraith went, be
low, where he found Mrs. Stanford.
The two chatted together until Hr.
Duckworth came down.
“Well, doctor,” asked Gilbraith
what do you think?”
"I do not like to pronounce so early
on a case that lias baffled a practitioner
of your great experience, but the first
symptoms 1 have observed point to an
affection of the heart.’
Mrs. Stanford looked at Dr. Gilbrnith
reproachfully, as much ns to say, "1
told you lie would discover the real
cause.”
“I noticed," continued the investi
gator, “when I placed my ear upon the
organ the pulsations were rapid—BIO
to the minute.’ 1
For a few moments it was uncertain
to the listeners whether the young man
hnd caught, on to the real situation.
Then he proceeded to talk of the case
so learnedly that Dr. Gllbralth’B suspi
cions were allayed and Mrs. Stanford
drew a long sigh of relief. Then the
two doctors departed together, and the
study of the effect of mind over mat
ter in the case of Eloise Stanford had
begun.
Dr. Duckworth at his second visit
saw ills patient alone. After un inter
view with her lie rejoined her mother,
and, evidently impressed with the deli
cacy and importance of his question,
he said:
“Sometimes girls are brought to a
decline by cherishing a secret love.
May I ask, Mrs. Stanford, if you sus
pect any such cause In your daughter’s
case?”
This was coming very near home,
besides forcing the lady Into the posi
tion of telling a falsehood. Mrs. Stan
ford dodged.
“I have understood from Dr. Gil-
brnitb that you were to investigate my
daughter's case unprejudiced and un
influenced. I think It best, therefore,
doctor, thut you should ask me no
questions. I will say, however, that
no symptom has appeared to me that
has not been apparent to you
The doctor twirled his mustache
thoughtfully, while Mrs. Stanford
brought her critical eye to hour upon
him. Was he Interested professionally
in any love affair her daughter might
have or on his own account? If the
latter his question was a shrewd move,
It was pluin that lie did not suspect
any such heart affection toward him
self.
Despite the fact that Elolse remain
ed in the position of un invalid, she re
covered her health rapidly. Her phy
sician did not illuininale the world by
a discovery of a mental depression af
fecting health, but lie hung on nobly,
His visits were at first once in two
weeks; then they increased to weekly,
and finally lie was continually running
in, having forgotten something or left
something or a new idea liuvlng oc
curred to him, and the durations of ills
visits increased with their frequency.
One morning Elolse put her arms
about her mother and said:
"Mamma, dear, I have a surprise for
you.”
“What is it?”
“Can you guess?'
“No.”
“Dr. Duckworth and I are engaged.
“You don’t mean it?”
"I do, and I have another surprise
for you.”
"What's that?”
“I’ve been in love with him ever
since I heard him read his thesis on
the effect of mind over matter.”
“How in the world did you ever con
ceal it so long?”
“It wns awfully hard. And Just think
he saw me in the audience and fell in
love with me too.”
“Good gracious!” exclaimed the moth
er, wonder struck.
“Yes; he has told me so.”
“Hus lie told you what has been af
feeling your health?”
“No; he hasn't told me that, but he
says that if I ever have a relapse, be
ing constantly with me, he will try
again.”
“I hope you’ll never have a relapse.
"Why so, rnamma? Why are you
so serious about it?”
"Because If you do some one might
get hurt.”

Talk About Monopolies!
Ever stopped to think what a corner on cotton production old lady
Nature gave our southern country?
The man away over yonder in some outlandish place we never heard of may
raise or forage all the victuals his folks need. But he can t grow their clothes.
He’s got to buy ’em. The family may get along on tapioca root, or rice, or some
thing else in place of bread. They may never have heard of wheat by any name.
But they know cotton cloth. And likely as not, the cloth their old man b jys is made
from a bale raised in your neighbor’s patch across the creek.
The world wants cotton. And it looks to us for its supply. Cotton is and
always will be our biggest asset, good as gold.
Yet we’ve been wasting its value like some inheritance from a rich uncle. 4
How? Listen:
Baled cotton has two enemies only, weather and fire. We’ve been leaving thousands
of bales out in all seasons, to be damaged dollar by dollar, day by day. We’ve been tak
ing the risk that thousands more wouldn’t go ud in smoke—
Pick up a paper. “Warehouse Burns,” says a headline; $17,000 gone off the face
of the earth. “$30,000 Cotton Fire,” says another headline. IT GETS MONOTONOUS.
Think Providence gets any pleasure out of that? If Providence has anything at all to do
with it, it’s her way of impressing on us the duty of preserving what she gives.
We’ve eot a warehouse that’s goine to have something to do hereafter with
the value of a big part of the cotton crop-
Reinforced concrete, sprinkler system of fire extinguishers, electric fire
alarm—these help to make the cotton in it proof against weather and flame.
Insurance costs you two cents on one bale for one month, in this warehouse
of ours. The marine insurance companies have made a reduction of a quarter
of one per cent, in their rate on cotton to be stored with us in transit.
We might have spent about $75,000 and built a warehouse covering our
40 acres. Instead, our investment’s close to a million dollars. The difference
is in a quality of warehouse buildings worthy of the south, worthy of her great
est asset. •
We invite you to come and see our facilities. We want to convince
you that we’re offering maximum safety at minimum cost.
