tQuaekenbos's genial face took on an ex'
preston of unutterable disgust.
The country is full of it," he eaid

enough to make a conscientious scientist
weep, or swear, to see the way in which
fakirs are quilting the public. The
worst of the popular systems of ehara-
tanism is that they are founded on sci
entific truth, and half-truth lie more
dangerous than whole lie. The prln-
ciple OF auto-suggestion is used as che
basis for innumerable fakes, and be-
cause that one scientific principle leaves
the lump of quackery enough to achieve
] certain good results, the whole lump of
| absurdity is accepted as truth. Hypno-
lists advertise that they can work al
4 most any miracle at low rates, gain
4 good business positions for patients,
rich husbands Of wives, social position
and love. These unprineipled hypnotiets
have only gnoble aims, but the public
! is easily impressed. Hypnotism, like
4 every great power, has it's possibilities
for good and evil The latter are not
nearly so great as the uninformed would
! believe. Except in rare cases, it is i'm
possible to make a subject do, under
suggestion, a thing that would shock
and pain her moral nature in her nor
I mai state. never experiment in that

ments have been made by reputable
scientists, and the conclusions drawn
are that except in cases of q nature OF
/ great moral obliquity, a suggestion to
crime or evil of any kind fails to find
response A person who would commit
the crime in his normal state might.
! commit it under suggestion.
The chief danger in hypnotism lies
! In the POSSIBILITY of the impression Of low
ideals upon the patients subliminal con-
seriousness, il the hypnotist ia himself
man of low and sensual ideals, and the
consequent injury to the general charac
| ter. The practice of hypnotism should,
by law, be confined to reputable and
skilled practitioners; but, with that pre-
caution taken, the possibilities of evil
from hypnotism would be practically
nil. You would laugh though, if you
could hear the demands upon my skill
made by some persons whose ideas of
the science are gained from the adver-
tisements of the quacks. woman
