HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1960-09-15, Page 3N.Y., told the third annual sci-
entific meeting of the American
Society of Clinical Hypnosis in
Miami Beach recently. Dr. Hut-
chings himself has planted these
suggestions in the minds of 200
anesthetized patients; and 140
had no need for pain-killing
drugs after surgery. "Nausea
and vomiting were decreased,"
he said, "and healing was appar-
ently speeded."
The new technique is based on
a discovery by Dr. David Cheek,
a San Francisco obstetrician who
wondered why some patients
suddenly, after surgery, hate
their surgeons or are sure they
are going to die. Using hypnosis,
Dr. Cheek found the apparent-
ly irrational attitudes were ra-
tional enough: The patients were
able to hear under anesthesia,
end what they heard — and then
"forgot" — were ill-considered
remarks by the operating team.
In 50 papers, the ASCH ,
gates made it clear; Hypnosis is
becoming more widely accepted
Ili medical and dental practice,
.fi'iost commonly as an anesthetic.
According to Dr. Seymour
Hershman, ASCH secretary,
bypno-anesthesia was used in
44,181 surgical cases last year--
and in 3,898 of them, hypnosis
was the only anesthetic- The
biggest single use was in child-
birth: No other anesthetic was
used for, 4,363 cases reported last
year.
Despite this, Dr. Hershman
said, medical schools offer little
or no instruction in hypnosis.
Of 866 physicians, dentists, and
psychologists who replied to an
ASCH questionnaire, most said,
they had learned the technique
in college psychology courses, in
postgraduate seminars -- and 80
acknowledged they learned from
theatrical hypnotists. "I think
more formal training in hypno-
sis should be offered — if only
to introduce more doctors to its
possibilities," Dr, Hersh in an
said. "We'll probably see medi-
cal schools offer this training in
a year or so, when the Ameri-
can Medical Association com-
pletes its present job of blue-
printing a course in hypnotism."
How Can 1T ?
by Roberta Lee
Q, How can I Make the te-
reinoval of a. tiny, almost iMper-
ceptible splinter easier?
A. Touch the spot with some
iodine. The wooden splinter will
absorb the iodine and turn dark,
which not only makes et easy to
see and remove, but also cleanses
the wound and helps avoid in-
fection.
Q. how can 1 save' time paint
that inevitably collects in the
indented rim of a :pint can,
flows dowel the otitside 'of the
can, and. is usually Wasted?
A, If you'll make a practice
of punching a couple of nail
holes in the bottom of this in-
dented rim, the paint will run
back into the cat again.
Q. Dow can I clean Sonic soil

A, One very easy way to dry-
eleeii your ties is to fill a. fruit
jar to within two of three inches
Of its top with some cleaning
solvent, then drop in your tie,

Shake vigorously for several
inintitea to loosen' the dirt. Fili-
ally, remove the tie and hang it

Hailstones Bigger
Than Golf Balls
Hailstones officially described
as bigger than •cherries fell in
Surrey during a sudden freak
storm the other day,. A record
for Britain? No, say meteorolo.
gistI'les.ey have photographs Of
hailstones more than six inches
in circumference which fell at
Richmond, Yorkshire, sixty-
seven years ago.
Pleturee taken reveal that the
outer coating WAS of a white,
opaque substance,
The next coating was of clear
ice and this was followed by
alternate coatings of opaque and
clear ice, Sense of these amaz-
ing hailstones had as many as
nine distinct coatings.
Big hailstones are usually ir-
regular and jagged in shape,
which increases their menace.
The biggest stones fall in the
hottest weather b u t for some
mysterious reason big hailstones
rarely fall in the London area.
The largest London stones have
been no larger than filbert nuts.
Try to guess how much da-
mage hail causes, on an average,
ever y year throughout the
world, The figure is $150,000,000
which is mainly damage to
crops, especially vineyards, and
to glasshouses.
In the south of Austria there
are sometimes hailstones as big
as golf balls that rip the foliage
from trees, kill poultry and stun
peasants working in the fields.
Hailstones sometimes kill peo-
ple. The most fatal Indian hail-
storm, of which there's an au-
thentic record, burst over Mora-
elabad in 1888 when 250 lives
were lost during an ice cannon-
ade which pounded many of the
victims to death.
Big hailstorms do astonishing
things, Hailstones riddled the
tops of thousands of cars in Dal-
las, Texas. In the foothills of
Cathkin Peak, Natal, recognized-
assembling place for storks mi-
grating to Europe after winter-
ing in South Africa, officials in
1931 noticed a great white patch
up the mountainside.
They climbed up to satisfy
their curiosity and found thou-
sands of storks lying dead, piled
on top of one another with shat-
tered wings and legs over an
area of three-quarters of a
square mile. They had been
ela in by a violent hailstorm.
Overhead clouds of other storks
still circled, mourning their dead
comrades.
Hypnotism As An
Aid To Surgery
The patient is deep in anesthe-
tized sleep, apparently oblivious
of the surgical team tying off
the final sutures after surgery.
sitting beside him, the anesthe-
tist suddenly bends over and
whispers: "There was no serious
disease found . . you will feel
no pain , . . you will eat and
sleep well, and enjoy your hos-
pital stay." And when he awa-
kens, the patient will most like-
ly do all of these things.

club could only regain its former
glories if it was sittuar.d in the
beast of the West End.
No one knows bitter then he

the members in a good mood

The N.S.C. committee, com-
prising many notable names in
all walks of life, is under his
chairmanship, while the manage-
ment is in the capable hands of
David Thomas, a former flight-
lieutenant in the famous 627
Pathfinder Squadron, whose ef-
ficient organization and person-
ality is responsible for the
smooth running and success of
the club.
Thomas has been associated
with the N.S.C, since pre-war
days and since his appointment,
three years ago, membership has
reached saturation point, the
number of tournaments has
grown steadily and the standard
of boxing incr• eased,
The bouts are staged in an
atmosphere that has no equal
anywhere else in the world, The
members and their guests sit on
the four sides of the ring with
a table for refreshments at hand
for each group and waiters to
attend to their wants between
the rounds.
At each end of the arena there
is an illuminated board that de-
notes the bout in progress and
the number of the round being
fought. Silence is a strict rule of
the club during each fight. Ap-
plause and comment are reserved
for the intervals,
Boxers from all parts of the
country strive to get on a N.S,C.
programme and many provincials
make their London debut in the
Cafe Royal ring. No fewer than
ten boxers appear on each bill,
so that in the course of a year
some two hundred promising
youngsters get their chance to
face, the best nursery for fistic
talent he Britain, writes Gilbert
Odd in "Tit-Bits."
Apart from their purses, box-
ers at the N.S.C. can always be
assured of a generous "nobbins"
should they put up an exciting
scrap and it is nothing for two
boys to share a sum that amounts
to more than the fee they re-
ceive from the club,
The record "nobbins" is held
by two light-heavyweights, Gor-
don Corbett, of Birmingham, and
Alan Peacock, from Hull, who
put on such a tremendous bat-
tle for eight rounds that the de-
lighted members' tossed no less
than £98 into the ring at the
finish.
When the Duke of Edinburgh
attended one of the club's tour-
neys last May, he was greatly in-
trigued with the way the mem-
bers responded to the efforts of
the boxers. On that occasion two
middleweights shared over £40.
Prince Philip was eager to know
how the amount was divided.
He was assured that the money
is handed to the Board of Con-
trol inspector, who splits it
equally and 'hands each fighter
his share without deduction of
any kind.

Ladies Are Barred
— Well, Mostly!
Regularly every fortnight for,
nine months of the s car, five
hundred dinner-jacketed men
wend their way in the Cafe Royal
in Regent Street, London, at
around seven o'clock on a Mon-
day evening.
They comprise the members of
the National Sporting Club, to-
gether with their guests, who
enjoy a sumptuous meal, then
take an elevator to the beauti-
fully appointed arena where they
watch in elegant comfort a se-
lected programme of boxing.
Women are barred from at-
tending, because this is and al-
ways has been an all-male club,
although in recent years a
Ladies' Night has been introduc-
ed annually, a breinwave on the
part of the management as It
satisfies wifely curiosity as to
how their husbands spend their
time every other Monday night,
There is a story, however, that
in the days when the all-male
Lale was rigidly enforced, Marie
loyd, the famous music-hall
singer, smuggled her way into
the club clad in male attire and
remained undetected throughout
the evening. Afterwards she said
that she had done it to win st
bet.
The N.S.C. first opened its
doors on March 5th, 1891, at No.
43 King Street, on the north side
of Covent Garden. The premises
had been a variety theatre,
which provided aim ideal venue
for seeing boxing matches, the
ring being set up over the front
stalls, the Press and the boxing
fraternity occupying the stage.
For the next thirty-eight years,
from September to Derby week
in June, tournaments Were held
every Monday night. The accent-
niodation was limited to eight
hundred and every man Wore
evening dress, The majority of
the members comprised the titled
gentry, the President'being Lord
Lonedale, the sporting earl who
sponsored the famous than-Mien-
ship belts that bear his name,
