Fear of Accident Sanity Ills in Daily Life
The article surveys a fear of accidents that grips a small but real set of people who cannot ride elevators or trains, and view everyday objects as deadly. It cites a New York Tribune piece and a doctor’s view that such fear is a form of insanity rooted in nervous shocks from childhood. It also notes speculative ideas on future artificial foods and a mesmerism anecdote, ending with miscellaneous notes on palm trees in Cuba and cotton market figures.
