All the dentists present at the clinic and
aware of the circum stances are agreed
that the results are nothing less than
wonderful and that they mean a revolu-
ton in the science of dentistry.
at means that by wave of the hand
patient having a painful operation to go
through may be set at ease. 1t means
much for both the dentist and the suffer-
ing public, said one of them.
The Stomatological Club is a rather ex-
elusive organization and its members were
at first blush greatly opposed to having the
fact made public that it had lent itself to
countenancing of hypnotism. DR..
Levkowicz explained this feeling:
1--WE know, as scientific men, the trend
of the times and the necessity of keeping
pace with them if we are to keep in the
race at all. DR.. Bernheims work in the
hospitals of France is familiar to all we'll
informed practitioners--his success, the
wonderful results he has attained. We
know also the charlatanism that obtains in
this mystic art, and we know that the pub
lie at large, generally less well informed in
scientific matters than the practitioner, is
inclined to be wary of men who practice it.
While we feel it our duty to investigate IL
abroad that the members of the Stomato-
logical Club are rushing into hypnotism
as a fad. We approach the subject with
the conservative care of scientific propo-
sition. We feel that it would be great
beneficence to patient If the pain of the
dentists chair might be done away with
by word. But, while we have had a
number of experiments of the kind at the
/ LII rl,r I &HoN H. "a
Professor Farley is the only one that has
proved entirely convincing as to the util-
ity of hypnotism in the science of dem
tistry. All persons may not be hypno-
tizsd, however. DIR. Bernheim himself, I
believe, brings under the influence only
about 80 per cent of those he attempts.
And at all events, the consent of the
patient must be obtained. AS 1 say, with
| the Stomatological Club it is a scientific
! experiment"

as for Professor ]. B. Farley, who
worked the strange influence, he is a new
conner to the City. de is a man of slight
figure and quiet manner, wearing the ap-
pearance of the student. His voice is low
and kindly rather than stern and COM
manding. His eyes and the expression of
his face are calm and reassuring. He said:
II cannot attempt to explain the mystery of
hypnotism any more than Edison will try
to tell you what electricity is, he said.

professor, and he did so by merely speak
ing the word.
When it was finished and the doctors
had examined and approved and mar
veled at the demonstration, the boy said,
81 would like to open my eyes,"
"Oh, certainly" said the professor, "you
may open your eyes. but you will still re-
main without pain-without being sus-
ceptible to pain"
The boy opened his eyes-as clear and
as intelligent as when he had closed them.
Then Doctor Frank s. Pague stepped up
with pair of forceps and from the other
side of the afflicted mouth he pulled a
tooth. 1t was well planted and resisted
at first and broke off. The doctor took
another hold, pushed the forceps down
hard upon the fragment remaining,

of back molar. That is to say. the
''nerve," as it is popularity called was ex-
posed and had filled up the large cavity of
a decayed tooth.
As explained afterward by the doctor
"This is most sensitive and painful con-
dition. To touch such a tooth under or
binary conditions will cause great pain,
and dentists do not attempt TO work with
such tooth until after two or three days,
and then with iodine and arsenic. The

In the rooms of the Stomatologlcal Club,
at Post and Stockton streets, on Tuesday
afternoon last, clinic was held in the
presence of nearly all the mem bers, in
which hypnotism was introduced as a sub
stitute for anesthesia.
1t was an experiment and the expert
ment was successful in the highest degree,
insomuch that it is safe to say that it
fixes the date of subsistence of old and
the beginning of entirely new methods in
the operating-rooms of San Francisco
dentists.
Hypnotism is not new thing in dentis-
try any more than it is in therapeutics 1t
has Just landed in San Francisco how
ever-preceded, to be sure, by tales of
great successes in Paris. Berlin, London
and New York. That San Francisco
dentists are fully alive to the progress that
has been making in their science and
eager to keep the best pace that is being
made in the world was made evident by
the numbe in attendance and the inter-
est manifested in the clinic.
The demonstration was arranged by DR..
NJ. w. Levkowlcz. His subject was a boy
of II, Alfred Boulton, native of Victoria,
B. c., but who has returned but fe W
weeks from a residence of some years in
Honolulu. He was an admirable subject
for a test of the possibilities of applied
hvpnotism, in that he was bright-eyed,
intelligent LAD of nervous temperament,
and in that he had couple of very sore
teeth.
]. B. Farley, a teacher of hypnotism
was present to make the magic passes and
show the congregated doctors how easily
il might be done. The clinic began
shortly after o'clock, the subject or pa.

gut the thing was an experiment, and
the terrors have been long lntrenehed IN
That red-plush chair. They laughed a.

first they did.
The chair was placed in wide bay-win
dow that extends out from an upper floor

corner of Post and Stockton streets. There
was nleptv oflight and platform steps sur

deliberately. The boy waited moment
and then opened his eyes, quite as wide
awake as before. The professor smiled re-

the boys head, with his thumbs at the
bridge of The nose, repeated his statement
in quiet confidence. Still the boy looked

Farley casually drew his watch while
the boy was looking his way, and
the latter instantly dropped over asleep.
The doctors present, as stated, made them
selves certain that the demonstration was
in all particulars just what it seemed.
On Wednesday morning young Boulton

and had that sensitive tooth filled without

moved and the cavity made clean for
filing. And during those fifteen minutes
the boy lay IN the chair apparently as
comfortable as though he were enjoying
siesta in a hammock. The professor
had said at the beginning that there
would be minimum of blood flow from
the operation. The doctor took up what
little there was in the customary way with
small pellets of absorbent cotton In the
tooth. One of the doctors remarked that

twisted it in the fetching way that dentists
have, until it yielded and came out. It
was then discovered to have an liberated
root.
THAT should hurt you, boy"
"Should it2' he answered.
Didn't you feel it2''
''Oh, yes; 1 felt you were pulling my
tooth, but it did not hurt"
''Such tooth ordinarily is very painful
in being drawn" explained the doctor.

But this was not the end of the demon
stration. The operation for the day being
finished, the boy said, Il would Ike

the red chair was upon him.
Two or three times the charm was tried
again, but it would not work. The doctors
watched and waited patiently enough, but
their comments and discussions, however
quiet, were dlstracting. The professor
saw his influence slipping away. He took
the boy out of the red chair and led him
to rocker in the corner, as unlike the red

The doctor began digging into the sensi-

minutes the growth had been wholly re-

Still the boys eyes

A HALF TRUTH.

On Jackson's Day, January 8, speeches were made by Secretaries Herbert and Hoke Smith, each of whom extolled Pres ident Jackson as gold standard man. Secretary Herbert said that Andrew Jackson signed law to change the ratio between gold and silver from 15h to l to 16 to because the latter was the com mercial ratio. He reasons from this that Andrew Jackson, if now alive, would fa- vor the coinage of silver only at ratio of 31 to 1. The inference is that he would have nearly doubled the amount of silver in dollar.
 Commenting on this statement, the Jacksonville Fla) Times-Union says:
 "A half truth is a whole falsehood. Why did not Secretary Herbert tell the whole truth? Was 1t because he wished to ere ate a false impression? Did he not WiSh the truth to be known?
 If he had told the whole truth he would have stated that the change of ra- tio from 15b to i to that of 16 to 1 was made, not by increasing the amount of silver in the silver dollar, but by putting less gold in a gold dollar In no other way has the commercial ratio or the two metals ever been changed except py decreasing the amount of the undervai- ued metal that it took to make the unit of value.
 "Another thing Secretary Herbert should have stated while he was speak ing. He should have mentioned the fact that the change of ratio, amounting to about cents on the dollar, was made when the two metals were treated with out discrimination. Now silver is depre- cIated because there has been discrimi- nation against it. All the great nations of the world continue the free coinage or gold. All the principal commercial coun. tries have abandoned the free coinage or silver Until this was done Tor nearly 200 years the relative value of the two metals was practically unchanged. Since this discrimination silver has gone 10 little more than half it's commercial val ue. and any sane man knows that the depreciation was caused by the discrimi- nation.
 "It is uncandid, then, to pretend to judge what Andrew Jackson would do now by citing what he did then under en- tirely different conditions. If, however. we are asked to concede that he would do now what he did then. it is well to re- member that he took part of the gold out of the gold dollar and left the silver dollar as 1t was before
