... Some things never change ...
That reminded me of this gem, from the NY Times, 8/20/1897. Some things have changed. The mandolin is no longer considered the cause of dementia. Not so often, anyway. ;) I think the popular belief is mandolin players are a little nutty to begin with ... :))

Ah, the golden age of both medicine and journalism! Good thing they didn't try that with a b&%jo.
