JEALOUSY—A DISEASE.
A Paris physician, Dr. Mairet, has formulated the startling theory that jealousy is simply a physiological disease. He says it ought to be treated like other ailments, medically, and that if so dealt with it can be cured. He considers there are three forms of jealousy—first, jealous hypervesthenia or excessive morbid excitement ot the sentiments with deep feeling of uneasiness. Second, jealous monomania, which is closely akin to a mental malady, since it frequently engenders a feeling in the afflicted person that he or she is persecuted. Thirdly, jealous madness, or the last and acute stage of jealous hyperaeithenia, which should be treated as a fortn of madness. The doctor’s opinion is that sufferers from acute jealousy should be treated by daily and frequently cold douches. He has proved it to be a valuable treatment, frequently bringing a complete cure, and nearly always a great alleviation.
