Especial Chicago Letter.1


SHE announcements concerning
the international congress of
experimental and therapeutic
hypnotism, recently held in Paris,
have awakened general interest in
the systems of healing Of disease by
suggestion.
Since the time of Mesmer, France
has claimed to lead along this line of
investigation. A recent issue of Q
wellknown English magazine con-
tains descriptions of scenes that may
be witnessed at the Hypnotic" clinic
of DR.. Edger Berillon, in Paris, and of
the means he employs for inducing
state which il characterized as
Sound sleep" in his patients Tin which
condition they will accept any sug-
gestion, however untrue or absurd),
and which is considered necessary in
order to obtain the best results from
suggestive treatment. Berillon has
based his system upon the theories
OF DR.. Braid, of Manchester, England;
Drs. Charcot, Of Saltpetriere, Liebault
and Bernheim, of the Nancy school,
and other investigators to whose tire
less efforts the world is greatly in
debted for the light they have thrown
on certain phases of psychic phe-
nomena. Although his methods
are claimed to be up to date in every
particular, they present nothing new
to Americans. Five years ago prac-
tically the same ideas were held, and
the same results obtained in similar
manner, at the Chicago School of Psy-
chology. DR.. Herbert A. Parkyn, its
founder and principal, believing firmly
in the beneficent results to be OBJ
tanned from intelligently directed
mental suggestion, has been employ
ing all the resources of his great in

Of ten years duration was treated at
the clinic some time since; young
man broken down physically and men
tally. Each June he has had all attack
of melancholis, of homicidal and sui
cidal mania. The whole trouble was
found to lie with the organ Of elimina-
tion, causing a poor blood supply to
the brain and nervous system. He was
placed in suggestive condition, was
told that he would be hungry, and
thirsty, and happy. Was instructed
how to hold his thought toward health,
and to-day he is one of the jolliest, hap
piest, best-nourished looking young
men one might wish to see. His mental
trouble has entirely disappeared. Ono
old man, 67 years of age, when he ap-
piled for treatment, sufferer from
nervous Prostration, gained % pounds
in one month. That was, of course, an
unusually good showing. A patient
appeared from whom her ysician was
about to remove large tumor. She
desired to have her general system
built up that she might be able to un.
dergo the operation. After placing her
in an easy position and inducing her
to relax the whole body, she was found
to be suffering from nervous contrac-
tion OF the muscular fibers of the ab.
domen. Hers was phantom tu=;or
and disappeared during the first suy-
gestive treatment. In dentistry md
other surgery, suggestion has pr<,sed
wonderful aid. Anaesthesia can. in
many cases, be produced so that pa.
tient retains consciousness while re.
naming insensible to pain. Recently

who could not take chloroform, was

cultivate the natural force Of recuper.
alton and resistance Inherent dn every
man. Metaphysicians hsyea zone No
the other extreme and refused to
sanction the use Of necessary medi-
cines. ''The wise man 10 he who
bends all things to his service In the
evolution of good" It is not claimed
that suggestion will cure anything
but mental and imaginary complaints
instantaneously, but that by the et-
fects it can be made to exert upon
the main organs Of nutrition and
elimination it can pc used as a spe-
cific in some troubles and an ad-
juvant in every known disease. The
same force which. If sent into the
arm by the mind. enables a man to
lift weight of 100 pounds, if proper
ly directed gives him power to over
come functional trouble. Sugges-
tion is the keynote Of the school. Tho
ituation is beautiful and the surround
ings of the patients who remain in
the house are harmonious and tend to
produce q tranquil and pleasant con-
dition of mind. To q layman, one of
the most wonderful things to be Wit
messed in the treatment of q patient
by suggestion alone is the rapid in
crease in weight. Several pounds per
week are gained in most cases. The
theory is that dyspepsia, headache,
kidney troubles, catarrh. neuralgias,
rheumatism, insomnia and most other
diseases are produced by troubles of
circulation. If the blood supply to
an organ be insufficient, impure or OBJ
structed, it will soon begin to per.
form its work in an imperfect man
ner. Ulcers remain unhealed for years
when the circulation is poor. Sugges-
tions are given tending to increase
and improve the blood supply. Often
a light massage helps to strengthen
the suggestion. The circulation fol.
lows the attention. If the hand be
carried along the body to the seat of
the disease and allowed to rest there
the circulation will be found to i'm
prove at once. The blood flows more
freely through the affected part. The
cut shows a patient in the suggestive
condition, the body being completely
relaxed. His attention is being direct.
ed to various parts of the body by
the operator.

Will Resume.
The Minneapolis iron and steel mills
at Columbia Hights, which employ
abont 500 men, will resume operations
in very few days. The mills have
been shut down for several week pend
ing a settlement of labor differences
involving wage schedules and for ne
cessary repairs. The news that the
mills are to be started up at once was
hailed with intense satisfaction by the
men when a telegram announcing the
glad tidings was received by the local
managers:
A Now School.
It is possible that the University Of
Minnesota may establish school of
pedagogy. The report of the special
committee appointed to consider the
advisability of establishing such a
school was made to the faculty. If
the school is decided upon the facul-
ty will be made up of the instructors
in the departments of latin, philoso-
ply history, political science, German
and drawing.

SPIDER TIME IN MANILA.

When "spider time" arrives the Fill
ipino boy is happy. He does not know
much about marbles, but when spider
time arrives, and that is just after the
rainy season begins, he knows that
he is to have great sport. There are
two harmless varieties of spiders that
are green and yellow in color that ma
ture in June. They are as large as the
common black spider so plentiful in
California. The Filipino boy catches
these and keeps them secure in box.

An increase of one-third in the valu-

commended by the logs and lumber

$500, 600 and Duluth about $l75, 900.
The lumbermen of the city and the

raise. Those of Minneapolis point to
the fact that the lumbermen pay one.
