  	    We weep because others weep, we yawn because they
  	yawn, and we have smallpox because others have it; but
27	mortal mind, not matter, contains and carries	                         Source of
  	the infection. When this mental contagion is	                         contagion 
  	understood, we shall be more careful of our mental con-
30	ditions, and we shall avoid loquacious tattling about
  	disease, as we would avoid advocating crime. Neither
  	sympathy nor society should ever tempt us to cherish
 1	error in any form, and certainly we should not be error's
  	advocate. 
 3	    Disease arises, like other mental conditions, from as-
  	sociation. Since it is a law of mortal mind that certain
  	diseases should be regarded as contagious, this law ob-
 6	tains credit through association, — calling up the fear that
  	creates the image of disease and its consequent manifes-
  	tation in the body.
