Me. ¥or sale by Bes- | literally a nervous Some Things You Want to Know Curing by Hypnotism. Because the peopls of this country work and live under high pressure, overtaxing their mental and physical resources, many of the leading physiclans and scientists of the United States have abandoned drugs as the cure for the nervous wrecks pre- sented to them for treatment. It ls be- coming the fashion among many of the most brilllant practitioners to treat such cases with neither medicine nor knife. The new remedy is thought, or the use of sug- gestion with the ald of hypnotism. There are physicians In New York, Washington and other large gities who say to the ex- hausted, nervous soclety wom ou do not need medicine. You must teach your brain and your nerves to rest. You must receive into your mind the compelling mes- | sage that the only thing which can help |you Is calm and repose. We can give it to you, but not by the use of medicines or drugs.” To the business man, who bas gone un- der such pressure that he ocan control neither his nerves nor his brain, they give the same advice. Hypnotism, which was once regarded as witcheratt, and later as an instrument only for harm, has become & benign Influence on modern American life, & practical remedy for the distinetly American ‘allment of ‘“‘nerves and the mental troubles which follow. It has har- monized many a shattered nervous system; it has saved countiess men and women from Insane asylums, and it has been dem- onstrated as o rellable cure of certain cases of drug and cigarette habits. A Washington physiclan, who 18 known as one of the ploneers In the movement to treat the allments of the brain by the cur- ative force of a heaithy and normal mind, recently had & young man patient who was and physical wreck from the use of cigarettes. He told the pa- tient that hypnotic suggestion was the only possible cure for him, and the young man agreed to try it. For five different treat- ments he was hypnotized, and there was conveyed to his recaptive mind by the phys- lclan this one thought: *“You will never want to smoke another ciragette; but, it you do, it will make you feel deathly sick, 80 sick that you will never try to smoke again.” After the fifth treatment, the do- tor declared the clgarette victim cured. The days went by without any craving for cigarettes on the young man's part. On the third day he attempted to smoke one, but was seized with such violent nausea that to this day he has never touched another cigarette. This 1s & serviceable example of the sim- plieity of the cure which has been advanced for @ nation which is nerve-ridden. That such a remedy was sorely needed is shown by the tact that, while the death rate from contagious disease has dropped 49 per cent sinoe 1830, the rate from kidney, heart and mental troubles has Increased 83 per cent. The physiclans say that the women of America, as well as the men, live on their nerves, because they do not stop when thelr wearied bodies cry out for rest. They s0e everybody else on the go, and they do not belleve that they can afford to be left out, A New York physician is authority for the statement that the number of nervous collapses and breakdowns among soclety women has grown to an almost Incredible extent. A Washington doctor says that in addition to soclety leaders being broken in the fierce soclal competition, there are members of congress and other government officfals who break down under the strain, Both physiclans agree that” much of the nervous trouble is caused by the increase in drinking and smoking in what Is known as “high soclety." The New Yorker on one occasion treated & soclety woman who was plainly the vic- tim of Intoxicating drink. He asked her if she drank to excess, and she manifested in- dignant surprise that he should ask the question. Finally, her explanation was that she drank nothing but absinthe, that she did this only when she needed it as a medicine, that she frequently became ex- hausted by her soclal dutles, constant calls and late hours, and that absinthe was the only tonic which kept her on her feet. Upon his saying that she must discontinue the absinthe drinking; she professed her utter inability to do 50. After he had treated her by hypnotlc suggestion she neither lked nor needed absinthe. She let it alone absolutely and In three months was again well and strong. This same dootor had the case of & broker who had formed the hablt of but- toning and unbuttoning the top button of bis coat. It was merely an evidence that his nervousness was so great as to need an outward expression of some kind, but it had grown to sueh an extent as to make him appear ridiculous to his friends and business assoclates. There was never w moment, when his hands were free, that he was not buttoning and unbuttoning the coat. Of course, when he became convinced that he could not stop the hablt, he at that moment did lose control of the situation. It was then that he sent to the physiclan for the hypnotic treatment. It required only ten treatments for him to become eon- yinced that the buttoning of his coat was entirely ridiculous and unnecessary. The convietion came to him by the doctor's saying to him over and over again, while holding him in a hypnotic sleep: “You are no longer nervous. You do not feet the need of employing yowr hands uselessly And you will know when you awake, that the habit is ridloulous.” To the Washington physiclan there came a woman who had been constantly on the £0 throughout the social season. Physically, she was %0 nervous that her hands trem- bled, and her mental distress was acute She had become possessed of the haunting idea that she was always golng to be late for the next particular function which she was to attend. That idea got posses- sfon of her nerve-racked brain and never left her. It is easy to conceive of the tortures she suffered, and how she in- creased them day by day_in her unceasing rush and haste. When she first went to see the doctor, she could not alt still, but paced up and down the reom While she told him of her trouble. Ho made her sit down, and, with a few SAsees over her eyes, put her to sigpep, saying to her in a distinet, commanding volce: “You have lots of time for every- thing you want to de. At any time that you feel you have too many engagements, you will break those which are too much for you. You will never hurry any more. You will never run from your door lo your motor ear. You will in all things be calm and restful. You have lots of time—lots of time.” This formula was re- peated to her through elght or ten treat- ments unill, one afternoon, when she was awakened, she sald carelessly: “I've no intentlon of going to the—'s ball tonight. I've been doing too much, and I'm going to take my time hereafter. From that minute she was cured. Another case was that of a member of congress who had been through a hard | fight all summer and autumn for his| nomination and election. It was his first term in the house of representatives, and he had continued to work long hours every day after reaching Wasbington, In his state he was known as & speaker of un- usual abllity, and he had planned to make his oratorial debut on the floor of the house during the consideration of a cer- tain bill. As the time eame near for the delivery of his speech, which he had prepared and committed to memory, he lost confidence, and there came into his mind an awful dread of failure to impress his hearers when he spoke. This dread grew upon him so that finally he was convinced he would fail. This fear was the direct result of his falling nerves and the high pressure under which he had been work- ing for elght months. e went to the physiclan a week before the ime he had t for his speech and,-after five treat- ments, his self-confidence returned. He made the speech, which resulted in his gaining an enviable reputation as an orator. Thero Is in the popular mind an impres- slon that hypnotism is a harmful thing be- cause it puts a person's mind under the domination of another's thoughts and ideas. It is also believed by many, that to submit to hypnotism is to weaken one's will power and force of character. As a matter of fact, it has been sclentifically proved again and again that the hypnotist cannot make the patient commit any act or entertaln any thought contrary to that'person's ideas of morality or principle. Nor does hypnotism impair the will power. Hypnotism ¢an be, and sometimes s, abuséd by the profes- slonal faker and operator, but, in the hands of a physician, ‘It 14 merely a cure for allments that cafijigt’ be reached by other means. It is the ari of induging sleep and then making the patient's mind so receptive that it will retain the healthtul, helpful advice telegraphed to. it. by the words and thoughts of the physigian., The only opportunity for hypnotism to impair the will power arises when a person makes & habit of submitting to the same operator for purposes of exhibition and freakish tricks. In this way, fn the course of time, the person hypnotized does train his mind to a certain extent to do whatever the hypnotist suggests. But in all the history of the art there are only two authentic cases where the hypnotists succeeded In using the persons hypnotized for criminal purposes. In both cases the persons had made a habit of submittng to hypnotism by one operator for more than two years. The physiclans who make & specialty of this hypnotic treatment do not as a rule continue it on any one person for more than a few weeks. If beneficlal results do not come from it within & month, or six weeks at the most, it is generally rogarded a3 tmpossible to make the desired progress, A woman patlent is never hypnotized un- less accompanied by a friend or member of her family. The great power of hyphotism over the physical functions of the body has been Zemonstrated by a Pittsburg physician, who put & patient Into a hypnotic sleep and told him that he would suffer no pain when his tooth was extracted. The tooth was pulled out and ‘the patient suf- fered absolutely no pain at all. Whether it can ever be used Instead of an anesthetic in surgical operations of a grave character is one of the problems of the art which will have to be worked out in future years, BY FREDERIO J.
