Cures hy Hynnotism.

A year ago it was said, more or less
plainly, that hypnctism was about to
ruin the medical profession and revolu-
tionize the art Of healing and curing.
Physicians of various schools took up
with the new cura' we agency, and the
lame were reported to walk and the deaf
to hear by mere exercise or transfer OF
will-power. Very much less Of all this
is heard now, and several physicians who
advocated the new system are taking
back or explaining away their state
ments. The reason is the distinctly
temporary nature Of the cures by hyp-
motto agency. Almost any disease with.
a nervous origin can be relieved by hyp-
notism, but the benefit is purely tenn
porary in cases that have come under
my notice, and the difficulty is a person
who has been helped by hypnotism once
will not be benefited materially by q
second operation or application. l do
not speak as a sceptic, because it has al
ways seemed to me to be foolish to deny
accredited facts, but there are many in
stances in st. Louis In which sick per-
sons have been benefited by a nervous
shock-call it by whatever name you
may-but who have steadily felapsed In
70 worse condition than before. Hyp-
notism susUends causes Of illn %, but
eoes not remove them.-Interview with

1861, he calls his hero, Bazaron, a Mill

broke out, the word was brought into

been perslstently applied to reformers

Is derived from the Latin word Mill

Nihilism is totally misunderstood, and Is

This Is grave error, for the ends ana
