Special Correspondence of the Globe.
PARIS, Feb. 3.-The popular mind is
absorbed in new study, one which
is almost startling in its results. 1t
is the effect of hypnotism upon women.
The deeper one delves into the ques
ton, the greater becomes the interest.
1t might naturally be supposed that
hypnotic suggestion would be largely
the same in effect and result regardless
of sex. That is not so at all. The
greatest hypnotists of the day have
taken the matter up and have demon
strated by experiment that woman is
one of the easiest to receive a sugges-
ton of this nature, and at the same
time, the hardest
This seems an odd enough subject
for volatile France to plunge into head
over heels, and yet savant and COM
moner both seem TO look into it with
the same degree of interest, the pro-
fessional instinct of the first being
counterbalanced by the curiosity of the
other. Experiments made by the most
famous French hypnotists show the
singular fact that in spite Of the sup
posed inferiority of women in point
of nervous and physical organization,
1t is a third easier to place a man I'M
der the influence Of hypnotism than
it is to induce a woman to accept
hypnotic suggestion.
Perhaps the leading mind among the
French scientists who have devoted
their attention solely TO hypnotism, is
DR.. Liebeault. He has paid particular
attention to the difference between the
sexes in the matter of acceptance of
hypnotic suggestion. A series of ex-
periments at Nancy, the doctors home,
extending through twelve months. firm
~ eStab liShed the truth of the asser-
ton made regarding the sexes. Dur
ing the time mentioned, DR.. Liebeault
caused, by hypnotic power, 6S2 persons
to sink into deep sleep. 1t was shown
beyond question that the influence Of
the scientist upon the person in point
of Sex was exactly in the proportion
stated.
Opinions differ widely as to the rea-
son for this. 1t is generally thought,
however. that it is because the mind
of women lacks the strength of that
of man. 1t is often true that a person
of exceedingly nervous temperament,
lacking in a measure ability to concen-
trate thought, is very poor sub
ject for the hypnotist. This is shown
by the fact that it is rarely possible
to actually hypnotic a person whose
mind is unbalanced. 1t is, as a mat
ter of fact. almost impossible to place
person under hypnotic influence un-
less the mind of the subject is passive
