A A A A R R R R R RN R R R RN R ORCROR Y PPOOvOOOOOS O great surgeon, so far as I know, ever invited a newspaper to send a scribe to tell what was or was not done in the sanctum sanctorum, the operating room. Neither did Dr. Schurmeir do any such thing. Nevertheless, I saw him do what impressed me so deeply that nothing has seemed quite the same since. It was hypnotism in surgery. He per- formed what the profession call a major operation, using no more tangi- ble anesthetic than a command, quietly, gently, but firmly given. “Think how sleepy you are, how heavy your eyes are. You will soon fall asleep. You cannot waken till T call you. You suffer no pain; you only sleep, and cannot waken till I call you. Dr. Schurmeir is not a Californian, nor yet an American. He comes from Germany, from the country which fur- nishes the theories for the rest of the | world to work out. He is, as he says, “seeing something of the rest of the world,” and for a few months is in San Francisco.

About three weeks ago a lady had | been thrown from her carriage and in- Jured. It was decided that only a seri- ous operation could restore her. The injury had shattered her nervous svs- tem, and 'to her pain was added the tortures of a clever, sensitive woman who feels she is losing her mind. I had been sitting with her; her own family she had banished. Her physi- clan came in, and with him was Dr. Schurmeir. She was in great pain, and I knew that-the outcome of her illness was causing her physiclans grave ap- prehension. Dr. Schurmeir sat down beside her. He is a large man, giving one the im- | pression of perfect health—mens sana | in corpore sano. He is a man who has | seen much of life and lived, and ‘has ! the gentleness which,a brave man al- ways has and .a something besides which makes one trust him and want to know him better—that something which makes a stray dog, accustomed to kicks, get close to him, wag his tail and whimper for.a word. He laid his | hand on the sick woman's head—the | large, slender, flexible hand of the stu- dent with the bent back thumb of an enthusiast and extremist, large but bal- anced.

Dr. Schurmeir had taken no part in the conversation, but now he said: “Imagination, ves; and fraud, yes. But what is fraud and, also, what is imagination?” . Then we found out that Dr. Schur- meir had studied hypnotism in its dif- ferent aspects very carefully. “Twenty years ago,” he said, “I was as much interested in these things as You are now. Charcot went through Germany, and I heard him speak and saw him perform some wonders in hyp- notism. I found I had a good deal of power and used it at every opportunity. I never use it for mere amusement now. It is too dangerous a thing to play with."” “‘But you do use it?” “A great many physicians use it in their practice.” “Yes?" “Do you not know that there is a course of lectures on the subject given at Toland? There may be at Cooper as well, for aught I can say.” “Why is it used in medicine and sur- gery?” “It takes a good deal of time and a g00d deal of trouble. In surgery cer- tainly it is easier to say to the attend- ant, ‘Give an anesthetic.’ It is less trouble, but sometimes there are rea- sons why an_ anesthetic may not be us.gd. Then I use hypnotism.” ‘And they feel no pain, or do they feel it but do not know it?" ‘But what is pain? It is just the knowing it.” “Then there is no shock to the sys- tem?” 'Not as much as to A’s system when B's finger is cut.” Thinking it ovér afterward I kept ‘wishing that J could see Dr. Schurmeir practice what he had been preaching. [a 0C00CO0CO000000000Q00 he held her eyes by his own. which were wide open and sc intense that they seemed two points of fascination. The muscles of his neck stood out. He was saying in a low voice with a con- t}nuous monotonous downward inflec- tion: “You are very tired, you have suf- fered so much, you are worn out and your eyes are so heavy. You are sleepy, | sleepy, sleepy. You will sleep and feel no pain. Your pain is less and less. You will sleep and rest without pain for two hours. You will sleep, sleep, sleep.” First she left off answering, and her eyes became attentive and then fixed upon the doctor. All the fears and sorrows tormenting her soul and all the pain in its hurt body were scattered be- fore hi§ commanding will. She slept quietly and deeply, and the worn look of illness was replaced by beloved rest. There were technical directions to the nurse for the operation which was to cccur on the following day, and -with her husband’s consent 1 might be present. In two hours, almost to a moment, the sick woman opened her eyes. Dr. Schurmeir gave her some broth from a bowl, saying to her: “It will not dis- agree with you; you are hungry and it tastes good. Think how hungry and tired you are. You will soon sleep again and have no pain for two hours.” ——— e SUPERFLUOUS HAIR the Philadelphla ‘ompany, Donohoe building, 1170 Market street, cor.

In a small upper room all the furni- ture had been removed. Even the paper had been scraped from the wall and everything washed with antiseptics. Only -a-long table and a smaller table with basins and sponges and bright blades. and shining instruments which nurses lay out ready for the surgeon's hand. There were glass jars and some- thing rolled in towels and a chair ready for the surgeon.near the table. Two nurses with negative faces effaced all ersonality. in white gowns, "unironed ut- clean and smelling of ‘hospitals. Two surgeons in white unironed coats had scoured their hands and were wait- ing for the patient, whom Dr. Schur- meir was putting to sleep in another room as he had done the day before. ‘When she had been laid on the table, sleeping deeply, she was no longer “‘she,” but only a ‘“case.” It is told that in clinics they joke and tell funny | stories while they cut up and sew up their fellows, but every one in that room was very serjous. Dr. Schurmeir stood over the patient with his thumb on the bridge of her nose-and his fingers on top of her head. “You cannot feel pain; you have no pain. You are sleeping and resting, so you will soon be well and walking about. You have no pain; you cannot wake till I command you to.” He lifted an eyelid. There.was no i sense of the light. Then he thrust a needle under the nail of her little finger and nodded his head. The nurses quickly arranged everything, and the surgeon who was to operate held up his_hand: “Knife! Time!” “Ten—nine!” Then a sound of the knife. I felt weak and my knees re- fused to obey me. I dared not look away from the face of the woman on | | the table, but I knew that blood was flowing. Her face was not pale—there Wwas an expression of perfect peace, not| a quiver nor a shudder. - “You had better go out—you, I mean; | | don’t you understand?

To be able to make a mountain out of a mole hill is a rudimentary law in the ethics of her profession. But her mathematical feat pales intc insignificance’ when compared | to the modern journalist. Given nothing to add to nothihg, he computes the sum total as something. Proof: The vast amount of printer's ink spilled over the | | two little decorative pages who are to appear for a brief moment at the Mardi Gras. The two pages in question are not th of fame that were stolen out of Satan's book, but on the contrary they are two | diminutive fairies of fourteen years each, | who are wont nightly to raise the hopes | and fancies of the occupants of the bald- | headed row. These two damsels, in real tights, are to appear at the Mardi Gras. Davis and Duval are the aristocratic names of these two necessaries of royalty, and for a consideration they are to play for-a brief time attendance on the king, and then for the sake of well-regulated propriety they will disappear from mortal gaze, and return to their Mission-street | homes. Not even a taste of the roval bumper is to be the portion of the two | little hirelings. Sad their lot, yet so-| clety has decreed that they are to add to | the realism of the festivities; not under | any consideration are they to he partici- pants. The fastidious Ned has chosen the two pages, and this is a guarantee to the | chappies, who swear by Greenway and | his dictums, that the pages will be| dreams of brief delight and sources Oli pleasure for the reason that, although their complexions may be detachable, their — will look just as natural as they | do from the front row. 1 could really give a cheer for Ned. The horrid papers | have placed him inthe wrong light in this matter of the pages. Really, there was no quarreling among the chorus. at the Tivoli as a result of the choice of Misses Davis and Duval. They were secured for a consideration, dearest Peg, you know, and simply because we girls refused to follow the example of gay Paris. It was because of this that Greenway, after con- sulting many of his friends and others who are to be there, hit on the plan of | perfecting the cvening by securing the | two pages. | + They had to have the pages, far who- | ever heard of a King without them, and gince Jack Wilson is to be the Merry Monarch, and you know that Jack Is a| connotsseur, why of course he insisted on | the real thing. So Prince Carnival will | have his court attendants, including the pages, notwithstanding what the papers say, and there is no denying that so- | clety is looking forward to this feature | { and under its breath is congratulating it- self that Ned took the stand that he did. | The Herald, court jester—n fact, all| the rest of the royal party have been | | chosen from the sacred 'inner circle: Harry Dimond, with becoming modesty, forgot his shyness long enough to consent to delight the merry revelers in a cos- tume fully befitting the Herald to H. R.| H. Prince-Carnival. Tony Hellman is to ! be court jester, and he can be depended upon to right merrily jingle his bells— those internally as well as the external | ones. Two naval officers will shed the glory of gold lace on the regal party. Who the two court ladies will be no | one, mot even the power behind the| throne, seems to know.

But the one who had been -the sub- ject of the morning’s irial? Dr. Schurmeir was ‘waking her, but not with his voice. Her sleep was too deep for her to be tonscious of sounds. With a hand on her head; his eyes wide and fixed upon her, hé was mentally commanding her tc wake.and feel no pain. : Her eyes opened and she looked about as if she had just fallen asleep. “I did not stay asleep that time, -doc- tor, ; No, you are awake, you have no pain, you are rested, .you @re much better. 5 “Yes, I feel so ‘comfy'. and I-am so hungr; “Yes, y to trouble to move, SC broth through a tub “It tastes so good." “Yes, it will strengthep you. must get strong quickly now.” She knew no mcre of that clean white room, with its hospital odor and shining instruments than if she had not been there.

Dick says they were the two prettiest girls there, and he vied with the morning papers in the accurate descriptions of their gowns. *‘She had a blue thing on her head that was awfully becoming,”” was his-complete summary of Mollie's. eostume.

It is ‘quite the thing now. for the girls to work off a rnumber of obligations at once, and the Varsity Club is usually.the scene.of the demolshment of.good things —to eat.
