OF THE FOURETIf III

Court Councillor Meynert, professor o1
medicine at the university iii Vienna,
was prevented recently, says the Chi.
cago Times, from delivering one Of his
regular afternoon lectures, and, as the
students were already assembled, his
assistant, DR. Anton, undertook to hyp-
notize a young woman for the instruc-
ton of the disappointed audience The
young woman was tall, slender, light
haired and somewhat over twenty wears
of age. DR. Anton let his hand glide
over her forehead, smoothed her eve
lids with his fingers, touched her cheeks
with soft downward strokes, and then
commanded, loudly. Now Sleep She
slept.
Your arms are completely crippled, !"
he said, and both arms sank limp by
her sides. What will you now do.
poor creature, without any arms?" he
asked. The girl raised her bowed head
and began 10 weep and vail 50 piteous-
II that the students rose It'd their places
and shouted that she must be restored
at once to consciousness.
DR. Anton seized the young woman's
right arm, rubbed II smartly, and sllg-
gested:.

be removed only after the girl had been
again hypnotized. He was unwilling III
exhaust the girl by bringing her itnme-

So he deferred the performance of the
