MENTAL CURES.
PREFERENCE OVER MEDICINES. DOCTORS AS DOMESTIC PEACEpiAKERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 22, 1.15 a.m. London, July 20. The cure of pain and disease by mind instead of medicine found distinguished advocates at the British Medical Association Conference. Professor George Robertson gave instances in which mental suggestion not only cured disease but was able to produce ailments, for example, blisters. He admitted most cures related to borderland cases, in which melancholia was foremost. Professor Robertson and others stressed the point that greater attention should be paid to moral and mental cures. Many medicines ought to be thrown into the sea. Dr. Helen Boyle, a specialist in borderland cases, urged the employment of similar treatment in domestic affairs. Doctors ought to be empowered temporarily to separate husbands and wives to obviate more drastic judicial orders. —United Service.
