SAVED BY HYPNOTISM.

New Haven. Conn. (Spec2D.-Hyp>
notism as a cure for the liquor and to-
bacco habit is being put TO practical
and scientific use by the Rev. George
E. Cutten, pastor Of the Howard Ave-
nue. Baptist Church in this city. and
formerly centre rush on the Yale foot
ball eleven. A series Of experiments
which he has conducted promises to
revolution.ze the method employed IN
restoring to physical aud mental
soundness the inebriate and the VIC
tim of overindulgence in smoking.
Ihe Rev. Mr.. Cutten has become an
expert hypnotist, and has been spend
ING his summer vacation in the Yale
Psychological Laboratory, making ex-
periments scientifically on subjects
sent to him by the organized charities
of this city. He has had subject N
the hypnotist chair at least once day
all summer.
Indications are that he saved at
least one mans life. that of Thomas
Dick, "Jim the Penman," as he is
known about town. Dick had been
drunk for a month, and was an incip-
lent delirium tremens case. Oplates
had failed to produce sleep, his pulse
stood ut 112 beats to the minute ana
his heart indicated that stroke OF
apoplexy might result at any time.
Sleep he must have within 1eW
hours or death was inevitable. Gut,
ten administered hypnotic sleep, ana
in an hour Dicks heart was Deatlns
regularly and his pulse was almost
normal. Dick was able TO resume MS
work the next day.
Half a dozen cases of simple alco-
holism, which apparently had wrecked
the lives of the subjects, have been
cured by Mr.. Cutten, and. although
the/ patients had been treated less
than q month in each case. not one
has shown desire for liquor or TO-
bacco since the treatment began.
Cutten practically has cured one
case of suffering, which resulted
| from q fall down stairs forty years
ago. The patient was Arthur Ben
| nett, one of the Rev. Mr.. Cutten's pa
rishioners. He has received only four
treatments from Mr.. Cutten, but
everything now points to an early
cure. Mr.. Cutten said, in speaking or
his treatment:
"Afy experiments are aimed at the
moral rather than the physical re-
generation of the patients. When the
moral steadiness is accomplished the
physical we'll being will soon follow"
The experiments are yet far from
complete. Not quarter Of what MIR.
Cutten proposes to accomplish has
been completed. He will continue his
experiment until next June, when he
proposes to submit a remarkable the
sis on the subject.

The Government made an appropria-
tion of $G5, 900 for the experiment, and!
demanded that the tests show a press

After two preliminary shots the
third was fred with a charge Of 300

Gus grounds for an adjournment,
which were refused.

practiced much at target shooting. and
