HYPNorisM AS A DRINK CURE.
1t Is Now Employed to Abate the Sin
of 1ntemperance.

Many and varied are the so-called
cures for that curse to humanity--ha-
bitual drunkenness. The latest treat
ment, and possibly one OF the most
effective and successful methods en-
ployed, Is hypnotism. Naturally the
habitual drunkard Is considered harder
to cure because he Is in state of per-
petual intoxication, while the dipso-
manic Is only periodically drunk. but
men versed in the knowledge of sug-
gestive therapeutics say with the for
mer drunkenness is habit and with
the latter form OF insanity. A habit
can be cured by suggestion, while the
patient is under a hypnotic influence;
as is every day being manifested, while
insanity Is rarely cured by like treat
ment. Therefore the average cures
effected by hypnotic suggestion number
80 per cent, the remaining 20 usually
being cases of long standing dipsoma-
MIA and people who really do not care
to be cured. The patient must work
with the hypnotist, who is usually a
registered physician. He must want to
be cured and do his best to relax en-
tlrely the mind and body and to go to
sleep as he Is told when the magic
hypnotizer of silver is held before his
eyes. When he is asleep he is told
that he will not care for liquor when
he leaves the place, the physician
speaking in soothing monotone. The
desire to be cured, the confidence in the
healer, the perfect rest for the nerves,
together with the physical exercise
practiced and the nutritious food pro-
vided, stimulate the heart and stomach
until the patient forms the habit OF 60
Ing without liquor. Then he goes
away cured, the treatment having last
ed from ten to twenty days. The
stronger the patients mind the sooner
he will be cured. for the greater will
be his determination. This method of
curing the liquor habit by hypnotism
and suggestion is now being practiced
by eminent physicians all over the
country and is being taught In one OF
the leading medical colleges Of Chica-
go. It is strictly professional" for
not one of the instructors will teach
the art outside the medical profess
sion.

SUBMARINE TREASURE.

tom OF the Sea.


tom of the Sea.
From the London Mail: On the
Cornish coast, about FIVE miles from
the Lizard, Il Ia quite common to pick
up Spanish dollars which have been
washed ashore from the wreck of
galleon that went down in 1884 with a
large amount of bullion on board. 1t
Is surprising that, with all the mod
ern appliances for diving, systematic
attempts are not more frequently made
to recover treasure from the deep. As
early as 1893 a great deal of treasure
was recovered, including the historical
golden cup which once belonged to
Frederick, king of Sicily, from the
wreck Of one of the ships of the "In-
vincible Armada" In 1880 an Ameri
can named William Phipps came over
from Virginia to this country and
craved the assistance of Charles ii. to-
ward recovering some wrecked treas
ure on the coast of Hispaniola.
Charles provided him with a ship and
the necessary funds, but the first at
tempt proved unsuccessful. In sec
ond effort he was financed by the duke
of Albemarle, and this time he sue
ceeded in recovering specie to the val
tie Of G200,000, and after paying all
expenses he was able to give the duke
the sum Of GS0,0OO as his share in the
venture. The specie on board II. NJ S.
Lutine, wrecked in 1893 off the coast Of
Holland, amounted to G1,200,000. and
the whole of this still remains at the
bottom Of the sea. with the exception
Of f99,S59, recovered In the year 1859
Attempts to recover the remainder are
still being made. Diving operations
resulted in the recovery Of GS0,000 in
gold from the wreck of the ill-fated
Royal Charter, which took place close
to Moelfra, off the Anglesea coast, but
a vast number of diamonds are still
lying about the wreck. $4,000 In
specie was recovered from the wreck
Of the Hamilla Mitchell, in the Chinese
sea, after lying in twenty-three faith
oms of water for upward of twenty
years, and 100000 in gold was saved
from the wreck of the Alphonso XII,
which was sunk in twenty-six and one
half fathoms of water off the Canary
islands in 1885. Some of the French
ships sunk at Trafalgar contained vast
treasure. Five tons of silver plate. ex-
Guiding the famous silver gates OF st.
Johns Cathedral. Malta, and ton
and half Of gold plate, mostly stud
ded with jewels, the plunder Of the
Maltese churches. were on board one
Of these ships. Not an ounce OF this
treasure has been recovered.

Here's the first law OF health Keep
your feet dry. We all know il. We
all know that pneumonia and con-
sumption always start with cold,
and that the shortest cut TO cold is a
pair OF wet feet. But it's SO impor-
tant matter that we can't be remind
ed too often, especially when the re-
minder carries the weight of authority.
DIR. Wendell G. Phillips, one of the
most distinguished physicians in New
York, was recently giving lecture on
"Colds, and How to Prevent Them"
1t was n rainy night, and he began;
"How many persons here wore rub.
bers tonight? Hands up.
"Not half of you Now, that is
what thought. Every one of you
should have rubbers on night like
this. To go without them is to invite
colds, bronchial trouble, catnrrh and
pneumonia. 1t is astonishing how
people neglect their feet. Rubbers
are fifty cents. You can save lot of
money'on the perhaps n
ten days doctor bill, TO say nothing of
medicine
The doctor might have made il still
stronger and said that fifty cent pair
OF rubbers would not only save doctor
bills and medicine bills, but often life
itself. Don't try to save on rubbers;
it's the most expensive economy i'll
the world, especially just now when
everybody is getting the grip.
