Syn: Contagious, Infectious.
Usage: These words have been used in very diverse senses;
but, in general, a contagious disease has been
considered as one which is caught from another by
contact, by the breath, by bodily effluvia, etc.;
while an infectious disease supposes some entirely
different cause acting by a hidden influence, like the
miasma of prison ships, of marshes, etc., infecting
the system with disease. ``This distinction, though
not universally admitted by medical men, as to the
literal meaning of the words, certainly applies to
them in their figurative use. Thus we speak of the
contagious influence of evil associates; their
contagion of bad example, the contagion of fear, etc.,
when we refer to transmission by proximity or contact.
On the other hand, we speak of infection by bad
principles, etc., when we consider anything as
diffused by some hidden influence. Contagious disease
Contagious disease Con*ta"gious dis*ease" (Med.)
A disease communicable by contact with a patient suffering
from it, or with some secretion of, or object touched by,
such a patient. Most such diseases have already been proved
to be germ diseases, and their communicability depends on the
transmission of the living germs. Many germ diseases are not
contagious, some special method of transmission or
inoculation of the germs being required.

Gr. ?, fr. psychh` the soul, mind; cf. ? to blow: cf. F.
psychique.]
1. Of or pertaining to the human soul, or to the living
principle in man.
Note: This term was formerly used to express the same idea as

employed it to mark the difference between psychh` the
living principle in man, and pney^ma the rational or
spiritual part of his nature. In this use, the word
describes the human soul in its relation to sense,
appetite, and the outer visible world, as distinguished
from spiritual or rational faculties, which have to do
with the supersensible world. --Heyse.
2. Of or pertaining to the mind, or its functions and
