Y PNOTISM NOW HAILED AS " "One of my most interesting pa- AID TO MEDICINE, Doctor Says That AU Diseases Can Be Greatly Benefited If Not Cured. Hypnosis as a medical aid has been extremely popular with authors and playwrights during the last few years, being set forth successfully and interestingly in two brilliant plays, "The Shadow," by 'Nicodenie,. and in Belasco's "Case of Becky." In "The Shadow" a woman who has been stricken by paralysis goes from physician to physician begging them to restore her to health so that she may have her husband's affection and companionship, instead of sympathy and mere pity. Her happiness is never complete, but her health is restored y by means of hypnotism before the fin - :al curtain. In the "Case of Becky" the patient, a young girl, has a number of dia- metrically opposed. natures. After consulting many physicians to no; avail, she comes upon a nerve special- , ist, who treats her by hypnotism, and he blends the diametrically op- I posed personalities into one happy personality. ; Dr. Heidring-Fabricius says: "My `; usual way in proceeding in treat-' meats consists in getting the confide i dence of my patients and making them thoroughly believe in my method of treatment, Then I make the pa -1 tients go through a set of exercises which I demonstrate for them. These i exercises are first, active; second, passive; third, exercises of relaxa- tion, which consist of exercises under the patient's control and hypnotic ex- ercises which are under the opera- tor's mental control. Brain Controls All. "I wait until the patients are thor- oughly relaxed, and often talk to them to get them into a receptive mood. Now, whether I induce hyp- nosis at this point or not depends on the condition of the patient. In either case I speak to them such words as these: 'I want you to relax all your muscles and nerves thoroughly. By doing this you will quiet your nerves, you will suffer less pain and get well faster.' "You probably do not realize that your brain or mind controls the mus- cles, uscles, nerves and blood vessels of your entire body, but it does. Just the same as your brain or mind uncon- sciously controls your heart's action, f your breathing, and your circulation,' so does it control all other parts of , your body.There are running to and from the brain innumerable nerves or wires to, all the different parts of the body, just like telephone or telegraph wires. The brain or mind sends mess- ages from all these different parts,' consciously or unconsciously. It is only in sickness that sometimes there are breaks made in this communica- tion, like the breaking of a wire, due to too much pressure on thebrain or along the nerve's course. These breaks must be cured by the relieving of the pressure which means strengthening of the nerves and nerv- ous system. "You may wonder what disease can be treated, by hypnosis. My experi- ence prompts me to say that all dis- eases can be greatly benefited, if not cured; and I include the morphine habit, cocaine habit, St. Vitus' dance, drink habit, stuttering and hysteria. Dr.- R. Osgood records one hundred and fifty -cases of children treated for nervous insomnia and somnam- bulism by this auto -suggestion. tients was a 9 -year-old girl, Grace De Young. She was a paralytic, After studying my little patient carefully I diagnosed that she had a clot on the brain and that the only possible way to remove it was to reduce the blood pressure and the circulation ,in those l parts. There were times when I al- most host hope, because the P eco h child was blind in one eye and was paralyzed' in speech, limbs and bowels. "At first progress was very slow, , but after a while I became encourag-1 ed when I saw she took interest in things. One morning she was able to l say to her mother, `Mamma, hear the f church bells ringing!" The one blind eye showed the same slow .but sure' progress after treatment by hyp- notism, aided by the use of lenses and glasses of different strength. At the end of ten weeks I found Grace a healthy and normal child, `Another patient came to me suffer— ing from acute stomach trouble caused by ulcers. Her tongue was paralyzed at times. I gave her twenty-five treatments and she is now a healthy girl. Her sister was suffer- ing with deafness of the right ear caused by a catarrhal condition in the head, giving rise to many headaches, which lasted sometimes as long as two or three weeks. After a num- ber of treatments, her catarrhal con- dition improved and caused her head- aches to disappear and hearing to be- come normal. A pronounced con- sumptive under my care forgot the name of the disease and Gained Thirty Pounds. "Insanity, nervous trouble and heart trouble have all responded to this cure. The mental trouble call- ed insanity is a condition in which the circulation in the brain is the same as when a patient is in a semi - sleep, in which, they experience in their abnormal condition the vagaries Of dreams, which they see enacted, and try to enact themselves. One of my most interesting cases was that of a .woman suffering from religious insanity. Time and again she was declared insane until I took her in hand and treated her with hypnosis. She is now mentally strong. "We know what influence a soft hand has on a tired head. We know that drowsiness and sleep depend on sluggish and diminished blood pres- sure in the brain. In Hypnosis the same causes are at work, the same in fainting, in somnambulism and cata- lepsy, because they are all different degrees of blood pressure in parts of the brain. You may be so frighten- ed as to. turn pale while you feel your nerves shiver and your lips chatter. Suddenemotion of joy or fright creates the same effect. "The normal state of circulation of the blood and the throbbing of _, the nerve centres means health. When any of these channels are weakened or' destroyed, disease in some part of the organism or the whole organism is bound to be the result. There are many, ways of trying to quiet tired nerves in a diseased body, but the simplest and the . most natural is to reduce the blood pressure and create normal circulation by means of a strong., personality working on a weaker one, as done in hypnotism and auto -suggestion in' the right direc- tion." How She Got the Price. "I suppose you were touched -when your wife gave you that $50 easy chair for your den?" "I was touched before she gave it." GERMANS ARE HARSH. Military Training Has Brutalizing Effect on Men. Owing to his curious mixture of emotion and stolidity the German is far more easily excited than most of his enemies, I read in English books of the "stolid German," says a neu- tral observer in the London . Times. "If the German ever was a stolid per- son he certainly isnot to -day. ' The German of to -day is noisy, shouting, staring, and over -bearing. Particu- larly is this so with the non-commis- sioned officers. Downtrodden for generations, they are now retailing on such unfortunate inhabitants of Rus- sia, Poland, France, and Belgium as come in their way, The German. Gov- ernment sedulously circulates photo- graphs and cinematograph films of posed German soldiers playing with enemy children, I have no doubt that hi such cases such episodes have gen- uninely taken place, because many a Landsturmer has sympathy with little people; but, on the other hand, I have witnessed absolute brutality on the part of German soldiers towards their own people. Here is an instance. I had occa- sion to visit the office of the military commandant at Posen shortly after the Russian retreat, It was interest ing to observe the"cringing displayed by an Unteroiflcer before his superior. Immediately afterwards this man was approached by an old couple, two re- turned refugees, who humbly and civilly inquired where they should find a lodging. His whole attitude changed. Turning upon them savage, ly, yelling and screaming, he took them by the shoulders. and kicked them out of the building, saying "You go to the right place to ask such questions. I have nothing to do with such people as you." This :is a case of German harshness to Germans. The roan had been browbeaten by his superiors all his life, and now the de- sire to browbeat others expressed it- self. One trembles to think of the atti- tude such men would adopt if they ever cucceeded in their cherished am- bition to land in England. SHE KNEW COFFEE. Sir Hiram Maxim's Stenographer Was Delighted. A great many people who flatter themselves that they are judges of coffee or other beverages may learn a lesson of caution from the experi- ments carried on by Sir Hiram Maxim when he was trying to find a pala- table preparation of wheat and cof- fee. It occurred to me, says Sir Hiram. in "My Life,'" that very few people knew much about coffee. One Sunday I brought out from. the Maxim Lamp Works about thirty young men and women. My stenographer was also present; she was one of those young ladies that know all—from whose de- cisions there is no appeal. I had cleared off a long bench and arranged on it a large number of cups, milk, sugar, cream, much coffee, and plenty of apparatus for making coffee. I got from the Army and Navy Stores various kinds of coffee that were supposed to be . the very best in the world, such as Mocha, Java, and so forth, and I also got from a dealer in coffee some of the sweepings and siftings of his shop— small, imperfect, and broken kernels. These I freed from dust and dirt, roasted and ground, and mixed with three times their weight of chicory. I was ready for the test. My shorthand writer came in, tasted the Mocha, the Java, the Costa Rica, and pronounced them all very bad. She then tried some of my wheat coffee, and some of what was half wheat and half coffee, which, she said, were also bad, but not so bad as the others. But when she reached the mixture of siftings and chicory she was delighted. "That is coffee!" she said, with an air of finality. "That's it That's the right stuff!" In all probability the young lady had never tasted a cup of genuine coffee in her life until that Sunday morning. THOUGHTS OR THE DAY. The path of duty is the way to glory. -Tennyson.

GASOLINE EXCAVATOR. Mas the Speed and Efficiency of Fifty Men. A new piece of machinery available for the farmer or the contractor has made its appearance in the shape of a' device for excavating cellars, dig- ging ditches or loading wagons and carts with material from the ground level or below it. It consists of a nine horse power gasoline engine mounted on a frame and. capable of being, moved from point to point. - Power is transmitted from the mo- tor by a drive chain to a drum, at the top of the machine, on which a fifty - foot cable is wound. A slip scoop at the end of the cable carries the dirt from the pit orybasement at any angle and delivers it into the wagon at the opposite side of the machine with approximately the speed and ef- ficiency of fifty men. The loading part of the machine is in no way complicated. When the loaded scoop reaches the machine the cable draws it -into a steel holder on the end of a pair of lifting arms, which elevate the scoop, dirtand all, and empty it into the waiting wagon. A wagon can be filled in less than five minutes. The scoop is automatic- ally returned to the ground after un- loading by the releaseof the fric- tion clutch that conveys the power to the hoisting drum. WOMEN URGE REFORMS.,. War Economy League Would Eschew Sweetmeats. Ouc,. of the first reforms proposed by the Women's - War Economy League of London is to induce the. people to try to get along without, sweetmeats. Other needed economics relate to the .$3.5,000,000 spent annually in motorcars, motorcycles and cycles and $20,000,000 on imported gasoline.' Britain spends - also $15,000,000 on skins and furs, .$7,500,000 on orna- mental feathers, $85gd00;000 on silks, $25,000,000 on wines and spirits, and nearly $40,000,000 on tobacco.. The league also urges strict econ- omy in coffee, tea and t,:1 imported articles of food, drink' and wear.
