nothing-all automatic actions. Each
human being is thus an individual with
two distinct phases of existence. In
hypnosis. the secondary consciousness,
called also the subjective mind and the
subliminal self. is susceptible to a kind
of impression by suggestion, which is
virtually the insinuation of an impulse
or belief into the mind of the subject
by repeated gentle but emphatic dec
larations. While the patient is in the
hypnotic condition, his subliminal self
is in control of his intellect, his emo
lions, and his Will; and any suggestions
positively impressed upon it are full

is not necessary to carry the patient
into the state of somnambulism, where
the mind power is exalted and physical
activity is increased in order to secure
the beneficial effects of hypnotiSm. In
the first stage of deep sleep, the sub
liminal self unhesitatingly accepts
every emphatic statement of the hyp
notizer: and even where hypnosis is not
complete. and a state of partial con-
seriousness exists, suggestions are ac-

the number was finally reduced to one

later he met this young man with head
erect, his countenance open and bright
and a smile of acknowledgement upon
his face. His greeting to the doctor
was Il haven't even had a desire to

that no matter what tempting oppor-
tunities may come his way, only a
loathing feeling for thieving fills his
mind at such a time, and he quickly
turns aside.
The doctors theory in regard to the
future of hypnotism is that IL should
be used in reformatories throughout
this and other lands. He feels that in
all institutions for the young, if the au-
thorities in charge had hypnotic sug-
gesti0n in a few generations crime
and sin would be greatly lessened. He
believes that philanthropic women who
serve upon the boards of the various
charitable institutions and reformato-
ries where women and the young are
cared for, could do a great and noble
work for humanity if the science of
hypnotis5n was thoroughly understood
and practiced by them. But the per-

Usually from two to fifteen minutes

procedure described above may be
profitably supplemented by light
passes or by holding firmly the hand
of the patient, and concentrating the
whole force of ones will in an effort to
overcome his automatic resistance to
hypnotism.
The possibility of hypnotism depends
on the existence of a special sympathy,
or rapport, between the hypnotist
and the hypnotized subject. What
proportion of human beings are gifted
with the power to establish this essen
tial rapport is not known. 1t is the
opinion of the writer that every per-
son of average intellectual capacity
can hypnotic somebody, and that the
great mass of human beings are hyp-

Of consciousness. One of these states
is called the primary consciousness:

been followed by distressing and even
alarming symptoms.
Hypnosis is commonly induced by
concentrating the attention of the sub
ject upon some bright object, like the
nickel-plated point-protector of a lead
pencil, a stud in the shirt BOSOM, or
the eyes of the operator. The writer
uses an old-fashioned gold pencil,
columnar in shape, with a large car
nelian capital; and this is held in such
a position as to cause the eyes of the
patient, who should always recline,

The nervous symptoms are brought
under the patients automatic control;
the physical functions of digestion. alb
sorption, and circulation are stimu-
lated, the appetite is improved, and
sleep is secured by the establishment
of general functional harmony.
Hypnotic treatment is frequently
reinforced by what is called auto
suggestion. Psychology has demon
strated that the subjective mind of a
given individual is as amenable to sug-
sestion by his own objective mind as by
the objective mind of an outside person.
Suggestion by an objective conscious
ness to its own subliminal self is called
auto-suggestion. The state of reverie
which Immediately precedes natural
sleep is the most appropriate for auto
hypnotisrn. and some physicians are
treating through this channel alcohol
and drug addictions.
A most important condition of sue
cess in hypnotic treatment of either
kind is the desire of the patient to be
cured. If unwilling at first, consent
