PHOBIA. OF ALL SC.iTS.

The Word Bullider is Iard at Work Ine venting Names.

In a recent work of M. Gclinean on “Wphealthy Fear, or Phobix,’’ the auther gives a complete list of these morbid sen- tal conditions. They are aichmophobis, or fear of sharp points, as of needics or pins: ngroaphobia, or fear of open spaces, with a subvaricty; thalassophobia, or tread of the ocean; astrophobia, or fcar of the stars and celestial space; claustropho- bia, or fear of inclosed spaces; mysopho- bia, or fear of filth; haematophobia, dread ef blood; necrophobia, or herror of dead bodies; thanatophobia, or dread of death; anthropophobia, or fear of crowds; mono- phobia, or fear of being left in solitude; ba- eillophobia, or fear of microbes; siderodro- Ynophobia, or dread of railways; pathopho- bia, or fear of disease, with many subdi- visions, of which the most important and most frequent are anginophobia, fear of angina pectoris; ataxaphobia, syphilopho- bia, lyssophobia, or fear of rabbies; sper- matophobia and zoophobia, or fear of ani- mals, which in its turn has subdivisions of cats, dogs, horses, mice, etc., ad totus catalogum animalium.

Further, we find in the same list klepto- phobia, fear of becoming a kleptomaniac; pyrophobia, fear of matches; stasophobia, dread of standing upright; aerophobia, or dread of drafts of air; srophobia, fear o! high places; toxicophobia, a fear of poisons; demonophobia, a dread of the devil (this is rather rare).

There are also a great number of pho- biz peculiar to certain professional per- sons, as physicians, artists, merchants, which have yet to be Hellenized and elassi- fied. The culminating fear, however, the quintessence of dread, is the fear of hav- ing a fear, the dread of a dread, or phobo- phobia. The study of these phobiw opens up a large subject, and the long names will be hailei with delight by some un- scrupulous members of our profession. In calming (or humbugging) hysterical pa tients some of them would be invaluable, for that useful and elastie térm ‘‘neuras- thenia’’ is getting a bit played out among the laity. The hypochondriac old lady whe: tells her syrapathetic medical attendant that even to think of ‘‘traveling by a hor- rid railway train sets her all of a-tremble”’ will be greatly calmed and ealified when Dr, Wosky gravely replies that such 4 statement does not surprise him, as she is suffering from that curious and interest- ing complaint called siderodromophobia. — Medical Times and Hospital Gazette.

An English Money King.

One of England’s money kings, a mar who-has made an inrmense fortune ont ol the manufacture of a becf extract, has kindly revealed to the anxious world the way to become a millionaire... **Thero’s nothing very wonderful about it,’’ he be- gins, and then makes the curiously famil- iar remark that ‘‘it’s not a matter of luck, but of extremely hard work.’’ This dear old platitude having thus been trotted out once more, the millionaire lapses into auto- biography and says things which, if not particularly instructive, do throw intcr- esting side lights upon the class of which he is the type. For instance: ‘‘My income since my business was well established has never been less than £20,000 a year. But then I put in 16 hours a day, and I never tried to drink, smoke and work at the same time. Itcan’t be done. Then i al- ways made a point of going to bed at 10 o’clock—quite late enough if you want to get up fresh and eager for business in the morning. I always like to be up early, and get a little bit in front of every one else. That’s the whole secret.’’ This trics one’s patience hard, particularly if fate has pat him at work which necessitates late hours. What follows, however, is fot se bad, from the squalid, money is the end of all point of view. “I always went in for big things,’’ says the multimillionaire. “Half way up the ladder there are too many competitors. If you go to the top, you pretty well have the fleld to yourself. There are plenty of men ready to deal in thousands, but they get frightened when you talk of half millions. Theaverago city man of today is an easy going sort of chap. Making money is more a matter of wii) and self sacrifice than of luck or of braius.”’ —New York Times.
