PARIS, April 2o.-Last June, when DR..
Brown-Sequard explained his method for
Remuneration to the Biological Society, the
learned and the unlearned were not only
skeptica, but unsparing in their criticisms.
To the oldest and the feeblest the doctor
promised vigor by means of simultaneous
NEGOTIATIONS, but no one wished to believe
in the efficacy of a remedy seemingly bor-
rOwed from some old source. But from
present indications we shall be obliged to
give DR.. Brown-Sequard's discovery seri-
Gus consideration. One of the few French
physicians who tried experiments with this
discovery has had some startling results.
1t will be remembered that Dr.. Brown
Sequard's first trial was upon himself, and
from the day he made the first incubation
radical change occurred. his old strength
returned and he felt himself younger by
twenty years.
The eminent physicians follower tried
the experiment upon three old men, almost
bedriddden. After the third incubation
the helpless old men not only began to take
interest in everything about them, and to
regain their faculties. but they walked with
the light. elastic step of youth. Encouraged
by this sue cess, the physician continued in
his work and in nine cases out of ten he has
had wonderful success.
a pupil of DR.. Brown-SeQ uard has told
me that the use of the liquid requires the
greatest precaution; for instance, it must
be taken from perfectly healthy animals
and must be fresh, because 1t becomes
quietly corrupt. Should the incubation be
made under bad conditions, it may engender
serious diseases, and it is indispensable that
the system of the patient be enfeebled, not
yitiated. Everywhere, except in France,
EXPERIMENTS have been common. In Aloury,
little Australian village between Victoria
and New South Wales, a physician inocu-
lated dying man with rams marrow and
the subject was cured completely.
The most wonderful case of which [ ever
heard and one that destroys the theory
that the system must not be vitiated
in order to asSimilate the remedy, is
that OF man dying from tqbercular lep-
rosy. lie had lost his nails, his hands and
fingers were rigid, liberated, bleeding. He
could neither eat nor sleep, and was barely
able to walk. The first NEGOTIATIONS pro-
duced but little effect, but those following
gave results. The patient was able to write
legible hand and twelve days after the
last incubation he articulated perfectly,
walked a long distance, slept well and was
on the road to health. / could name other
instances, but have mentioned enough to
show that if the Brown-Sequard discovery
be not lnfalllble there are reasons why, in
scientific matters, we should never speak Of
absolute impossibllty.

The other day | attended lecture on
| hypnotlsm or suggestion by DR.. FOreau de
Cormeilles. The most interesting portion
OF his remarks was that referring to the
cure of hallucinations of sight, of hearing,
of taste, Of general and special senSibiiity,
all by means OF suggestion. The famous
physician cures children of these halluclna-
tons, and in the following manner:
After having called the child into my
Office, a place not al all familiar, therefore
making upon him first impression, | take
an air, grave and resigned. The child is
seated before me, and taking his hand,
looking dXedly in his eyes, speak to him.
slowly, softly, but 1rnly, IN an even tone,
without raising or lowering the voice, and
with this monotony prepare the child for
sleep.
I'm this sleep the chiTd's will is en-
feebled; then | speak TO him of his fault,
or of his bad habits, and make him feel the
inconvenience or the dangers, and show
him the consequences, making him feel that
faults or vices will diminish the affection of
his parents, weaken the confidence, esteem
and sympathy of his friends and teachers.
We inspire regrets, desire for pardon and
a resolution to reform. The child is asleep
and | deprive him OF his elements of re-
sistance. l do not wish to substitute my
will for his, but to lead him to think as do.
Without impatience. | try this again and
again, striving to conquer. Slowly the
child feels the gravity of It's position. and
tries the remedy
I'm this way idle turbulent, even wicked
children are completely subjugated, and if
the cure be slow it is none the less certain.
Should there be a relapse l do not hesitate
to rec0mmence the treatment and continue
it until complete cure be effected"

Certainly the nineteenth century under

Religious Europe Is in CONSERVATION. A
| Niennese student has become Buddhist, not
only theoretical but practical Buddhist
| The Buddhist rite consists in abStaning
from what has life, so that tho faculties,
usually latent in man, may be developed
These faculties are characterized by a
special state, in which one can predict hap
plness or misfortune. Science has never
succeeded in analyzing this power, but
buddhism teaches that meditation will de-
| velop this sixth sense to an astonishing
| degree. ms meditation must be physical,
| physlolo gical and psychological exercise
| Physically the body must passively obey the
| mind, physlologically respiration must be
/ measured, so as not to spend too much
! vital force, and psychologically all organic
forces must be concentrated on the develop

Austria must not think herself alone in

apostle Of the Hindoo religion in France,
says that all elevated minds are buddhist,
and that Paris counts large number OF
devotees of the Buddhist religion. This
follower of Cakya-Monni says there is no
religion worthy to be compared with Budd-
hism, we alone knowing the meaning of
evolution. Every man is developed-first

The bottomless pit has no existence, be-
cause the earth is the scene of real suffer
ing, and omnipotent God does not inter-
fere after DEATH because, according to the
physical law of reactions equal to action"
man becomes his own judge. This law is
called karmas.
