DANGERS OF HYPNOTISM.
Serious Questions Touching the Rela
lions Between Mesmerism and Crime,


The present outbreak of hypnotism, or mes
merism-for they are identical-has begun
to engage the attention of the authorities upon
the continent. The practice of this art has
been recently forbidden in the French army
and navy, and is shortly to be restricted in Bel
GUM to members of the medical profession
at least SO far the young and the insane are
concerned. This is not the first time that such
step has become necessary, says the London
Saturday Reoietc. Early in the century mes
merism, which had languished during the
troublous time of the Napoleonic wars, sprang
up again with tremendous energy upon the
conclusion of peace and speedily overran
Europe. This was particularly the case in Ger
many where the Berlin Academy of Science
offered prize for the best essay on the sub
feet; and in 1917 it was found necessary to
make the practice illegal except in the hands
OF qualified physicians. So. too, in Denmark,
about the same time, and in Russia in 1926
The reasons tor this were, no doubt the same
as those which induced the university au-
thorities of Oxford and Cambridge, some fifteen
years ago, to forbid the seances of a certain
well-known professional mesmerist in
those towns. The undergraduates used to
flock to these performances and many OF them
suffered seriously in health from the nervous
arrangement consequent upon repeated hyp-
notization. 1t Is, indeed, denied by Ro one. en-
cept Prof. Bernheim and the other hypnotizers
at Nancy. that the process may be attended by
some danger to health. 'L'hypnotisation est
un agent perturbateur un haut degre du sys-
teme nerveux" is the authoritative statement
of VI. Paul Richer in the Dictionnaire Encyclo-
pedique des Sciences Medicales. 1t often de-
velops or aggravates attacks Of acute hysteria
and cases have occurred in which, after hyp-
motto catalepsy, for instance, the use of an
arm has been lost for some time. or the per-
ception of colors impaired through the Undue
ton of visual Authorizations. But it is not
only this aspect OF the matter which has en-
gagged attention abroad.

Africa. near Mozambique. He is here in order,
it is said. to furnish the government with in
formation concerning his country, but this
would seem to be a vague semi-official expla-
nation OF his presence in Paris. Whatever
may be the object Of the princes coming he
has neglected to provide himself with an in
terpreter through whom he could make his
business known, and when he and his secre-
tary appeared at the ministry of the marine

weary waste of atrocious French on the one

picked up BY an Engiish vessel. he was taken
