there is such a mixture; it looks like

LOCAL HYPNOTIC STUDIES.
M. E. FRANK SAYS 1T IS AN AID
IN MEDICINE.
Philadelphia Surgeons Have Estab-
Hshed q Hospital for Dis
pensing Hypnotism.

| 1t is not generally known that there
are great many people in Sacramento
who are more or less interested in the
| study of practical hypnotism, and who
| have conducted some experiments along
that line.
The most prominent operator here is
| probably M. E. Frank, late of San
Francisco, whose remarkable exploits
We're the wonder of surgeons and a
source of many interesting articles by
various newspaper men when he was
San Francisco merchant a few years
ago.
Mr.. Frank is not devoting any time
to hypnotism now but he still reads
| what is going on in the great world Of
science. Seen in regard to the propo-
sation of Philadelphia physicians to Or
ganize school of psychology, Mr..
Frank said: This is in the line Of
modern science and it is a sign that
there will be a marked growth along
lines that are not generally understood
l have met many physicians who deny
that there is anything in hypnos;sm,
and have also seen some of the bright
est, who not only know that it is genu-
inc, but who also know that they have
realized great benefits from it in their
practice. l have succeeded in reliev-
ing many people of evils Of the flesh
myself, though that has never been my
specially. 1t is a fact that the medical
world recognizes that there is a great
field that is as yet almost UNEMPLOYED,
and that there will be a great many
additions to their means of fighting dis
ease when the question is thoroughly
understood
1t is a fact that several Eastern cities
are making marked advances in the
study and practice of hypnotism. In
many cities there are schools of hyD-
notism. 1t will be placed on a scientific
basis in Philadelphia this summer. Sew
eral physicians of we'll known standing
have about completed arrangements for
the organization of a society to thor
oughly develop the art of hypnotism.
1t is used to greater or less extent
by almost every practitioner in the city,
but in a disconnected and deslltory
way, while the new hypnotic society
Will try to centraliZe it's use and sys-
tematize it's application in the treat-
ment of diseases. They will reduce it,
if possible, to an exact science
Regular clinics will be established,
where patients will be treated psyche
logically, and lectures given by ohysi-
clans on the subject Of hypnotism in its
relation to health.
DR.. F. c. Gray, one of the best known
surgeons in Philadelphia, is at the head
of the new movement. He was re-
Gently interviewed by the press of that
city. Among other things he said:
Facts like these show us that hyp-
nosism is potent factor in the treat
ment of disease, and for this reason we
have determined to open a school of
psychology for the treatment of the af-
flicted in Philadelphia. This will be the
first one in the city, and as hypnotism
is a scientific and established fact. we
can say that this is not an experiment,

and that it will open the way to n more
common sense dealing with many ima;y-
mary ills, which now confine people to
their homes. Such people can be cured
without being dosed with medicines,
and that is just what we propose to
do.
Anyone who has given attention to
this method of treatment will acknowl-
edge what immense power the mind has
over the body. This power is exercised
in health and disease, but is peculiarly
evident-perhaps because more closely
