Professor Currier 1--WE will now return. We
have shown that there are latent sensi-
bilities of the paralyzed auditory nerves
which susceptible to development
through exercise. What we want then, is
knowledge as to how these latent sensibilI-
ties can be developed the most rapidly and
the most successfully. Now let us see what
hypnotism will do. L am not master or

ity to produce these results myself. /

known results of recognized hypnotic ex-

natures laws, emanate, / thereby give the
nerve a bit of exercise which will tingle

brain is busy with all the other senses. The
nerves of vision are busy ticking off their
message as to what the eye sees, and the
brain IS replying what to do about it, and
what to look at next; the sense or toucn
