S THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 18Y7. HYPNOTISM AS A SCIENC Under I's Icfiuence the Surgeon’s Knife Loses Its Terrors. SKEPTICAL ARE WAVERING. THE Many Fhysicians Convinced of Its Great Superiority to Anesthetics. SUCCESSFUL CPERATIONS RE- MOVE DOUBT. Melancholia, Hysteria and Other Nervous Diseases Vanish Under Its Subtl: Charm The fact that a delicate tion had been suc f performed a few days ago upon Mrs. A. R. Clothier under hypnotic influence has caused con- ridera mment among the physicians and surgeons in this City. Jtis hoped by the majority of them that hypnotism as a means of producing in-ensibility to pain will be thoroughly investigated and prove i1self to be the means by which both cap- ital and lesser surgical operations may be safely and successfully and yet absolutely painlessly perfor The lady who was recently operated upon under this influence has shown no | signs of pain or collapse, nor does she ! have the slightest remembrance of even | the minor details connected with the per- formance of the operation, which so fre- quently happens where chloroform or other anesthetics have been used. | ost peculiar phase of all,” said Jark last evening, *is the factthat vost-hypnotic suggestions so thor- | control tue patient so far as pain any operation is concerned. patien: Las undergone an opera- and is told that he orsne will feei sbsolutely free from pain, nausea or ex- haustion at the time of ing or re- covering there is nev least, hardly | ever any complaint m +Of nrse,’’ he con ned, “‘the con- dition of the patient depends largely upon ions impressed upon the mind just prior to the time they are permitied lo awuke. If it is suggested to patients at they are being chloroformed be‘ore op- ting and this impression is not with- drawn from their mind, nausea and weak ness will invariably follow precisely as vould had chloroform been admin- red ; ypnotism, or as it was formerly cailed " mesmerism, is brought about | mainly by the subject himseli,” but there must be apsolute confidence piaced in the operator. Any person, wuether strong- | minded or otherwise, can easily resist! bypnotic influence. be prevalent idea regarding hypno- tism is that it is merely a weaker mind | jocted to the force or magnatism of a | iger one, or bundantiy char sir. supe may control another in that one person a with magnetism | ess fortunate, but | this is a mistake brouszht about through ignorance of the subject. A the idea has been advanced that a subject once hypnotized becoraes more and more easily affected by the operator in broportion to the number of times he may have been subjected to the treatment, but this is also cqually ridiculons. Any one can, resist the force at any place or at any time, no matter what may be the condition of tbeir minds. “That notism press itself {nto will gradually im- ublic favor as a painless aid 1o surgical operaiions there is no doubt in my mind. 1t is often necessary to ‘prepure’ a patient for a day or two, or even a week, but the delay is counter- balancea by the fact that after prerara- tion and operation there is no danger of heart failure, collapse nor any of the many symp:oms so common after the ad- minisiration of our m ru anesthetics." Tam thoroughly convinced,” said Dr. Van Meler, “that hypnotism s our great- est aid 10 yainless operations. Icis also a remarkable factor in reli-ving and curing | nervous troubles such as hysteria, stam- | mering and melancholia. Hypnotism wit in time suppiant all anesthetics in minor | surgical operations, and many times in | those most difficult. i “Mrs. Clothier, upon whom I overated, presented a peculiar phase to its influ- ence. Although insensibie to psin while under the spell s.e asked permission to wake up, saying, t me wake up; 1 have forgotten sumetbing,’”’ and after tak- ing a drink of water she was soon again | insensible 1o everything, with the excep- tion of the presence of the hypnotist. Both mentalitie- were working—her real- ization of both her condition and the lack of power or desire to overcome it. An operator to successfully hvpnotize a pa- tient must feel absolutely certain of being able to accomplish what he has started 1o ao—that is, gain the perfect confidence of t- e subject—or all his efforts will be in vain. One who can gain perfect trust from another thereby removes the sell- |" conirol of the patient, and his greatest | troub'e is passed cver. “Hypuoiism has often relieved and sometimes greatly benefited acute cases of | paralysis and its uses as an aid to surgery | and medical treatment will gradually yet | surely take preference over all anes. | thetics.” *The skepticism of t3e large majority of | people,” said Dr. W. A. Harvey. **will tend | to retard the general uses 10 which hypno- | tism may be successully put, but its| superiority to chloroform, cocaine or gas | will eventually work 1s way into public or as a cure for nervous disea-es and an | aid to surgery. After it becomesimoressed | upon the public that there is ao o-| lutely no pain felt while under its infla- | ence, the number of operations periormed without anesthetics will greatly increase. “‘Another great advantage is that the patients can be hypnotized in a room free | from the sight of the dreaded operating | chair and surgical instruments and then | be induced to prepare himseif for the or- | deal, insensible to the surroundings, thus removing a shock otherwise unavoidable.” | AGAINST THE BUCKET-SHOPS. | The Produce Exchange Will Not Fur- nish Quotations to Outside Sharpers. The members of the Produce Exchange | have determined to run the bucket-shops out of business, There are in this City balf a dozen fellows who pretend to be grain and produce dealers or brokers The- uninformed who desire to invest in | such commodities as the genuine dealers | hanale are taken in ana systematically | robbed by these bucket-shop sharpers, | who furnish fictitious or garbled reports of quotations. This naturally burts all | legitimate dealers and in the Produce Ex- | change there is a written and an unwrit- ten law that none of the sharpers shall be admitted to membership or allowed upon the floor. Yesterday there was still another effort | | and said to root these fellows out of business. A vroposition was made to amend the by-laws so as to prohibit the members of the Produce Exchange from furnisning any information as to quotations to the bucket-shop sharks, or answer questions irom these fellows by telephone. It was a poor time for bringing up a proposition for changing the by-laws, for the at- tendance was not so large as usual, owing to the press of outside business. A vote on the proposed amendment showed that the majority of those present were in favor of this stringeut rule, being 35 for and only 10 against the change. The reason that it failed to pass was be- cause a quorum—50 members—was not present, and it requires a two-thirds ma- jority to amend the by-laws. The matter will "be brought up again to-day, and it is expected that it will be passed by a very large vote. MANY TIMES EXPLAINED. Difficulty Experienced by a Fair Young Client in Understanding an Order of Court. Owing to incompatibility of tempera- ment Messrs. Hillyer & Jacobs have sought to be relievéd from their position as attorneys for a young woman who is administratrix of the estate of her mother. As is customary in such cases the at- torneys have filed a written statement of their services in order that the court may understand the circumstances sufficiently to fix a reasonable fee for the lawyers. The affidavit was made out by Curtis Hiilyer, a member of the firm, and he appears to have unconsciously given a touch of humor to his statement. In the schedule twenty-one dates are specified on which the lady was in consultation with her lawyers. It appeared that she was impatient over the restrictions of the law touching her management of the property, and she speciully resented the order of the court, which her attorney seemingly approved, which required the cash on band to be deposited in vank, sub- ject to orderoi the Probate Court. For this reason each interview with her torneys ended something like thi: x- plained why the admimstratrix had no right to spend her share of the estate be- fore it was distributed to uer, she being a gatee; also why the court had ordered the money de: osited in bank.” Finally the young lady decided that she wauted to get married, and she thought she ought to have $300 to prepare for that event. Her attorneys advised that her mother's funerz! expenses would have to be paid first: that wedding expenses were not preferred claims, but that the law re- lating to preferred claims took cognizance of funeral expenses only. As usual, there was public poliey, which led the court to order all ine mon y deposited in bank. Finally Judge Coffey, in whose court the case was pending, sent for Mr. Hillyer that his fair young client had complained that she had no mon y with which to prepare for her wedding, and that besides she was starving. The court suggested that as this is Lent she did not require any great amount of food, and that as to the matrimonial question he could find no provision in the-code which gave nim juilsdiction. The young lady thought she could find other Jawyers w 0 would help her out of ! her predicament, and, Messrs. Jacovs & Hillyer acquiescing, the court gave her permission to make a change in accord- ance with Ler wish. ele e — TO HANG MAY 18 John Miller Sentenced by Judge Cook to Be Executed on That Date. Judge Carroll Cook yesterday issued the warrant for the execution of Joun Miller, to take place at S8an Quentin in expiation of the murder of Janies Childs. 'T'he war- rant, aiter reciting the legal history of the case, conc udes with the following direc- tion to the Warden of the penitentiary: That on the 1Sth day of May, A.

MFER THE oSCALPERS” Railroad Ticket Brokers Cham pioned by Mayor Phelan. The Golden Gate C.rnival C-mmittes Wants Them Prevented From Doing Business. The ordinance prohibiting the sale of railroad and steamship tickets by brokers was discussed at a special session of the License #nd Order Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday morning. The executive committee of the Golden Gate carnival was present to urge that the ordinance be recommended. The mem- bers stated that they desired to secure lurger reductions from the railroad com- pany for those who desired to attend the carnival, and that the rairoad was back- ward about making concessions as lonz as e brokers were in business. The ticket-brok rs asked 1he committee to cunsider the matter well before acting. Their attorney stated that the ordinance it passed would drive many out of busi- ness, and tha: the rairoad company need not fear any ‘‘scalping” of excursion tiz| ets to and from ihe carnival, as the brok- ers do not deal in tickets to ana from lo- cal points. Mayor Phelan was present, and stated that he bhad ascertainad that the business of the brokers was principally in tickets | to Eastern poin s, and that they save the | traveling public §75,000 per year. He favored some measure that would protect the railroad company from scalp- | ing «f excursion tickets to the carnival, but was_av rse to any legislation that would drive 1he brokers out of business. The committee reached no conclusionin the matter. ——— SUSPENDED FOR FIVE DAYS. The Penality Infl.cted on Captain Good- ell by the Boiler Inspector. In the case of Captain ‘Goodell, master pilot of the Union Transportation Com- vany’s steamer Dauntless, charged with improper conduct, and of trusting the safety of his passengers to an officer with- out a certificate, Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Bolles and Paillips rendered the foliowing decision yesterday : The charges wers filed by oue Clifford B. Manges March 1897, "with additianal charges of misdemesnor on the part of Captain Gooaell in counection with above matter and atother times.

Survey Bay The Government survey boat McArthur to-day completed the entrance sheet to | the bay of San Francisco by investigating | a suspicious spot off Tennessee Cove, with the result that no rock was found. Dur- | ing the past two years the McArthur has been engaged in surveying and developing all the dangers in the bay north of Hunters Point, and from now on the work will be from that point south to San Mateo. During this time the vessel has made not less than 3000 miles of sounding, with the result that sunken dangers have been located in Bonita channel, Mile Rock channel and one or two off the City front. Enough work is aiready mapped out to cceupy two years’ more time. All this is done to map out the character and the depth of the bay. Lieutenant-Commander Sears will de- part on the 1st of April for three months’ leave of absence, when he will report for duty at Washin gton and be assi. ned else- wuere. ‘The McArthur came over to Goat Island yesierday, where some rcpairs will be made, after which she will start outon the survey work again, Officers Dowd, Campion, Courneen and Sbaw had a terrivie fight with a drunken man at the ferries last Sunday night. He was “‘fighting drunk,” and ihe four men had to carry him_bodiy to the Harbor Police station. Yesterday it was discov- ered that he was wanted in Oasland for bunkoing the prison-kesper over there, and he was conscquently turned over to an officer sent over for him. The hand- cuffs were placed on his bands and he was taken over on the 11 A. M. boat. John McLaughlin was arrested Satur- day night for being drunk. and two or three hours later Robert Morgan was brought 1n on a similar charge. Mec- | Laughlin had 25 cents on him when searched, but Maorgan yie dea up $11 35. Both the men are of about the same build and both were put in the same cell.

When he produced let- ters addressed to him and a pocketbook with his name on the back of it the prison- k-eper changed his mind and puid tne right man the money over again. Just about the time McLaughlin was being arrested at the ferries on this side the police of Oakiand were communicating with Chief of Police Crowley. The result is that McLaughlin will now have to an- swer a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, Regarding the Hawailan bark Rosalie, which left British Columbia for Austraiia with a load_of lumber last January, the Hawaiian Star says: “The bark Rosalie, condemned by s special examining board yesterday, has twice before been declared unseaworthy, the first time about nine years ago, and the second time in this port. Still she may ke repaired and taken to seaat the owners' risk. It is not prob- ble that Captain Nissen wili taxe her out again.” \ While the tugz Occident was trying to enter Nehalem River on the 12th inst. she went ashore on the south spit and became a total wreck. The Occident was owned by M. L. Stetson ot Seattle, and was44 tons net burden, 70 feet long, 15 feet 6 inches broad and 6 icet 4 inches deep. T e news of her loss came in a short dispatch to the Merchants’ Exchange. The Alaska Commercial Company's Bertha sailed for the north yesterday on her first trip for this season. She has been thoroughly overhauled and is now in first- class stape. ‘The schooner Una, that was seized in a Central American port a few months ago, and whose captain sailed away withouu asking by your leave,” is to make another tripsouth. Her master will take good care to steer clear of Colombian waters, how- ever. The river steamer Captain Weber has been laid up for a ceneral overhauling, and until she is ready for service again the Union Transportation Company will be rev]»reseuted by the sleamer Dauntless only. The old steamer Eastern Oregon is not to be turned into a schooner after all. Charles Nelson yesterday sold her to John Rosenfeid’s 18ons and she will be turned into a coal hulk. Her engines were faken out some months ago and are now stored in one of the machine shops. The tu- Sea Witch came in from sea vesterday and reports the ealing scnooner uise D with 625 skins.

They Will Hold a Coavention and O-ganiz: This City and County. Anxious to Secure Catholic Co-Oper- ation—Speakers All Hop ful of Success. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the State Anti-Saloon League was held yester- day at the Y. M. C. A. building. A num- ber of prominent preachers from this City and neighboring towns were present as well as laymen interested in the move- ment, and the Woman’s Temperance Union, which had postponed its confer- ence for the occasion, had sent a larze del- egation ot members. In addition to speeches by temperance advocates a plan of campaign for the next few months was outlinea. Rev. Dr. Bovard stated that H. H. Rus- sell, Ohio superintendeat of the National Anti-Saloon League, wouid spend June in Cali.ornia, and suggested that he should speak throughout the State under the au- spices of the State organization, and that an Anti-Saloon Convention should be held in this City on the 5th and 6th of July. This daie was suggested in order that Christian Endeavor delegates might combine attendance at both conventions. “I think,” said Dr. Bovard, “if we hang together we can make California feel the power of this association.” It was re<olved to hold the convention as Dr. Bovard suggested, and the hearty | co-operation of the State League was | promised Mr. Russell in his tour of Cali- fornia. Rev. Dr. Dille made an ardent address, describing the large area of this City which is coveied with saloons, which he declared to be ‘‘the power that blocks the church, obstructs missionary work and wrecks homes."” Alluding to the Anti-saloon Lzague, the doctor compared it to Dayid, a siripling which would overthrow the enemy. Rev. Dr. Chapman gave a detailed account of the Sunday closing movement in Oakland, and predicted that at the next election would carry the polls. Dr. Bovard suggested organizing the City and County of San Franci-co, as well as Alameda County, and expressed the hopethatin time ali the counties through- out the State would be organized. After consiaerable d.scussion it was resolved to appoint a committee to organize the City and County of San Francisco, but as a strong desire was expressed to secure the co-operation of Catholics in the move- ment, the committee was empowered to change its memuvers and add to its num- bers asthe members saw fit. The foilow- ing ladies and gentlemen were appointed : Rev. Dr. Beard, Rev. Dr. Dilte, Rev. H. Bevier, Rev. Dr. Gardener, Rev. M. P. Bovnton, Mrs. Rose Freuch and Mrs. H. . Luse. Rev. J. W. Webb of Fresno was ap- pointed State superintendent of the work of the organization. Divores Suit. Filed. Suits for divorce have been filed as follows: Char.es K.

An elderly gentleman of fine presence sat in the business office of one of the largest grocery-stores in an Hastern city engaged in social converse with one of the proprietors. They were old friends aud were renewing the old friendship. A salesman came into the office and presented his business to th= grocer, hand- ing him a card showing a table set with viands, while the words *‘Postum Cereal’’ and two red disks appeared underneath. In a few words the salesman stated that his firm was desirous of having the grocer handle “Postum” in & large way. The friend and visitor suddenly spoke up and said, “Will, if you never sold thatyou have missed a good thing. We use it at home, and I have drunk it for four months past in place of coffee because coffee disa:reed with me. People in my town use the food-drink quite universally, and you can depend on my word that it is pure, nourishing and heultnful. It is meade in Battle Creek, Mich., wholly of erains, and while it iooks and tasies like coffee hias none of the-harmful effects of coffee.”” Oiie can easily imagine that the good words helped the sale man 1n his intro- duction, and impressed him with the value of a good name and reputation. The above occurrence happened exactly as given.
