Mrs. Sewall is one known elub womey and suffrage leaders in this country, She helped to organize the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, and is how honvrary President of tho National and Inter- national Councils of Women, For twenty-five years she was prineipat of one of t t important schools for girts in lddle.

On Sept. 18, I was directed to drop luncheons also. I dined daily until Oct, 10, when I was directed to dine only on alternate days,” But that was nothing to what was coming. Her spiritual physician warned Mrs, Sewall that “you will pass many successive nights without sleep; many successive days without food." Beginning with the new year, she took but one dinner and no other meal between Sundays, In February she was bidden to give up even this mid-weekly repast, and her sleep was reduced tp,two, bours-the rest of the night’ she -@ivided between physical exercise, massage, practicing on the piano and automatic writing. During the daytime she was occupied with her school, “Although this was a month of increased activity," she writes, “I felt equal to whatever came and was easily able to meet new con- ditions, and to do Unusual tasks.” Rubinstein not only taught b music—she had not been at all musi- cal—but superintended the exercises for almost every part of the body and transmitted to her his magnet-, ism. Meanwhile the spirit of the French scientist, Mesmer, for whom mesmerism was named, was intro duced to Mrs. Sewall by her hus- band and he began giving treatments to the membranes of her nose and throat, which had been injured by eatarrh, “Having been for four days with- out the least particle of food and with sleep diminished to a total of ten hours in those four days, feeling neither weak nor weary, I asked Rubinstein the cause,” Writes Mrs Sewall. And he replied that her “magnetic suppert’ from “etheric magnetism” was responsible, She “worked literally night and day for months On an average of three hours per twenty-four for repose." Evice ly the spiritual world has no use the eight-hour day! he regime came to @ climax at Easter time, after lasting seven months, and then for several mont 1s Mrs., Sewall was allowed more sleep and food. Her ghostly doctors ex plained they must build up the body which had been purified by expelling its poisons. At the end of a year from the time the cure began It was pronounced complete by the spirits, by the patient herself and by certain physicians of this world who knew nothing about the remarkable story Mrs, Sewall now tells for the first time.
