SELF.INDUCED HYPNOSIS.
Physician Proves That Anaesthetics for
Surgery Are Unnecessary.


San Francisco. January 29-Profes-
sor P. A. Bernard, of Des Moines, Iowa,
clearly demonstrated to the mind of
every person present at the San Fran
cisco College of Suggestive Therapeu-
tics last evening that the administra-
ton of an anaesthetic for the perform
ing Of surgical operation is totally
unnecessary. He did this by throw
ing himself into a self-induced state
of hypnosis, thus producing anaesthe-
STA, and submitting to such surgical
tests as completely removed all doubts
as to his utter lack Of any feeling
while in that state.
Professor Bernard has only recently
come to San Francisco He is connact-
ed with the college in the instruction
of trained occultism, which is an ex-
emplifcation Of the work of eastern
adeptship. In the exhibition of sci
entific hypnotism Professor BERNARD
was assisted by E. Mansfield Williams,
who acted as his subject in his vari-
Gus tests Mr.. Williams is a profess
sional subject of worldwide fame.
Before beginning his exhibition Of
self-induced hypnosis Professor Ber-
nard said he was willing to submit to
any test that was within the bounds Of
human reason and that could be found
in any book on hypnotism.
Professor Bernard then sat in a
chair and composed himself. In a
short time he was asleep. Dr.. McMil-
lar then took a needle and thread and
sewed his ear to his cheek. He next
sewed his upper lip to his nose and
then he pulled his tongue out and ran
a large hatpin through it. Those pres
ent were permitted to examine the test
most closely. After the pin and threads
had been removed Professor Bernard
awoke. For few moments he APP
peared daZed, but he was soon himself
The towel that he had placed around
his neck was saturated with blood,
but he declared that he felt no pain
or soreness in his face. This sleep on
the part of Professor Bernard was
purely voluntary and self-induced.
Next followed his own experiments
upon his subject. They were an eXhi-
bition of scientific hypnotism In pro-
ducing sleep upon his own subject
Professor Bernard uses the Geographic
rather than the physical suggestion.
He operates quickly and smoothly.
Everyone present was thoroughly con-
WINGED of the genuineness OF every
thing witnessed

Take Him.
Key West, Fla, January 29.-The
death Of Gen. Nestor Aranguren, the
Sheridan Of Cuba, ELECTS much SYM
pathy here. His aged father and
mother and other relatives reside in
Key West, and young Aranguren's
sister was recently welded to Surgeon
Guiteras, of the United States Marine
Hospital service at this port. Aran-
guren's father cabled to Consul Gen
eral Lee and begged the General if the
body was brought to Havana to use
his official influence to be permitted to
give proper burial alongside his ances-
tors in the family vault
Warnings had been repeatedly sent
to young Aranguren. On one occasion
Senorita Isabel Giralt. his fiancee, was
despatched on this perilous mission.
Knowing the strong feeling aroused by
the summary execution of Col Ruiz,
and the determination Of the Spanish
authorities to effect his capture, which
was favored by the level country in
which his operations were conducted,
he was advised to seek temporary ref
uge with his limited command among
the mountains in the eastern prov
inceS.
Arrangements only reply to all these
warnings was that he was aware of the
Spanish plans and resigned to what
ever end was in store.
1t is generally believed here that the
young gentleman's younger brother,
Benito, now captain, will be assigned
to his command
