HYPNOTISM IN DENTISTRY
How a Canadian Doctor in Chicago
Pulls Teeth

A young Canadian doctor in Chicago is
making great deal of money hypnotic
ing people and thep telling them it does
not hurt while he is pulling their teeth.
1t is said that in a good many cases he
actually makes them believe that it does
not hurt.
The number of people who come for
treatment has been on the increase ever
since the doctors hypnotic operating
room was opened, so that hypnotism has
come to be one of the standard anes-
thetics in Chicago dentistry and surgery.
DR.. Parkyn is a physician and surgeon,
as well as dentist and hypnotist and
he does not hesitate to put people under
hypnotic influence as the means of dead
ening the pain in delicate surgical oper-
ations.
The Chicago School of Psychology is
what the establishment is called, and
there are a number of students attend
ing the school studying hypnotism and
the so-called method of treatment by
suggestion" Clinics are held daily, and
many people attend them for treatment
for all manner of Affections.
When patient comes a careful his
tory Of his case is taken. Then he is
sent to the operating room, where he
lies fiat on his back in a big reclining
chair. The doctor then takes his posi-
tion beside the patient and begins tho
nypnOtIzlnS process.
Holding his right forefinger in front of
the subjects eyes, he requests him to
look at 1t and to concentrate his mind
on the object to be desired-sleep. Then
he moves his hand back and forth be-
fore the patients eyes, chanting in q
soothing monotone.
Your eyes are beginning to water,
your eyelids are beginning to feel heavy,
you are beginning to feel drowsy all over
your lids are closing, you are going to
sleep-let yourself go now-go to sleep
-sound-sound-sou sleep!"
By this time the patient is usually in
the hypnotic state and ready to act on
the suggestions Of the operator. Then
if, for instance, the ailment is a head
ache, the method of operating is some-
thing as follows:
Lightly resting his hand on the pa
TENTS head. the physician first COM
mands attention, and then tells the SUBJ
ject the headache is about to depart.
There is no reason for the headache, he
argues. hence it will not exist in future
in fact, it is already gone
After celebrating and repeating this
statement many times, he commands the
best of health in every respect, deal
ing with the symptoms in detail, and
finally awakening the sleeper with
softly spoken word of command. This
method is followed with all the cases
| that do not need actual drugs or surgi-
cal treatment.
! With children there usually is greater
success than with grown people, for the
reason that children have no prejudice

who really believe in hypnotism. One

psychology is a very delicate operation

Concerning the Methods to Produce the
Desired Result
II AG fTtI
Some Of the Hopes Of Arizonans in Cen
eral and Of the Phoenicians in
Particular.

PHOENIXS .Arie., Dec. 1s.-(special
1.-The California dele
cation which left for the irrigation con-
eress last eUnday Was; the largest of all
the state delegations. 1t included the
stauuchest supporter of the famous
Wright act, namely. Mr.. Wright, the
father Of the law, and also it's most Bit
ter antagonist, Mr. George H. Maxwell
Of San Francisco. Mr.. Maxwell is a
lawyer interested in litigation which at
tacks the Wright law and the editor of
the newly established california Ad-
vocate," which is the organ of that op-
position.
Mr.. Maxwell, in his nine years of hos
tility toward this law, saw it's every de-
feet in its worst aspect. To make it
free from injustice. to take away the
burdens which in several instances it
laid upon landholders who were not
benefited by the formation of an irriga
ton district, and to cure it's other
faults, 10 seemed to him that new law
was needed, law SO new that hardly a
vestige Of the old law should be retained
Two other members of the delegation
oympathized partially with the views
Of Mr.. MAXWELL They were T. S. Van
Dyke and Henri F. Gardner.
DEFENSE AND RESULT.
On the other hand. Mr.. Wright was a
vigorous defender of his work, and in
Mr.. Cole and Mr.. Creighton he found
vigorous supporters. The result of ex-
tensive discussion was that Mr.. Max
wells views were greatly notified, and
after several conferences a report was
drawn UP that was satisfactory to both
sides Of the question, and which has al
ready been given prominence in the
press dispatches.
THE CALIFORNIANS.
The California delegation comprise the
following: @. B. Boothes whose knowl-
edge of machinery is supplemented by
new IDEAS of irrigation; c. c. Wright
who fathered the Wright act; w. s.
Creighton, the editor; Nathan Cole, Jr
who is interested in Little Rock Creek
irrigation district; T. S. Van Dyke, the
author: James D. Schuyler engineer
the physical heavy weight of the dele
cation; J. c. Mcclure; DR.. Dodge, who
represents the Alpine Springs Land
and Water company. as well as slight
attack of rheumatism W. F. Burbank,
who holds proxy from the national ex-
4outive committee; G. w. Terrill Of
Fresno; Henri +. Gardner of Orange, b
more Of Los Angeles and ex-senator Me-

cation differ radically from each other

SAFE WAY TO CURB MONOPOLIES

1t is more vital to the public to check
the encroachments and expressions of
monopoly than to lay a tax, imposed
incidentally or deliberately, to benefit
the combination of American sugar re-
finers What scandal there was in the
passage of the present revenue act was
concentrated around and about the
sugar schedule. The people will de-
mand rigid accounting of congress,
and with respect to tariff legislation they
will insist that no tax shall be levied to
foster trusts or promote monopolies. One
safe and certain rule for congress to
observe is that of putting upon the
free list every manufactured product
foreign competition with which is him
dered by duties.-Philadelph Ledger
The herald., 1896-12-20
clothes inspire confidence. That this is

clothes inspire confidence. That this is
true Is shown by an everyday occur
renee at fashionable dressmakers' and
tailors'. One instance will illustrate
this general willingness of fashionable
women to give up every other luxury
before that of elegant apparel. In par
lor of one of the swagger dressmakers
of New York woman said to a friend,
in almost whisper: "Oh, my dear,
am obliged to economize SO fearfully
this year. We cannot afford to come into
town, and we shall stay in the country
until December. We have been obliged
TO sell our horses and dismiss some Of
our servants. I do not expect to have a
thing to wear, and am trying to have
old things made over"
This unhappy woman, before leaving
the establishment, gave orders for eight
beautiful gowns, none of which was to
cost less than $3.50.
The giving Of cast-off clothing to the
maids of the houshold is now quite out
of date, because of serious complications
which resulted from it. Poor relations
get them now whenever they are not
sold, and often are enabled thereby to
go into society. Brilliant marriages
have been made by just such deeds Of
kindness.
Sometimes woman who Is busy in her
social life will send trunkful of cloth
ing she does not want to a friend who
can distribute it where 1t Is most useful.
Such case occurred not long ago.
Five women received a comfortable sup
ply for the season, two of whom would
not have been able to secure good en-
gagements for the winter If they had not
been we'll dressed. When trunks are
given away they contain not dresses
alone, but shoes, coats, underwear,
handkerchiefs and gloves.
Secondhand clothes dealers no longer
profit to any great extent from cast-off
wardrobes of the rich, although some
evening dresses make their way to a
man with the dignified title of ladies
tailor" who freshens up the garments
and sells them to western dressmakers
as exclusive mportations.-New York

IN quiet way with them on our heads
we must keep them on, of course"
So matters are likely to remain as
they are, unless some kindly genius will
invent trim and reasonable hat ex-
pressly for the theater, which might be-
come the rage. What, however, with
the VoIuminous headgear and sleeves to

cullne theater-goer has not been having
very happy time of it of late. At least.
