Just now there seems to be quite a
number Of hypnotists giving exhibitions
In the west IL is an open question as
TO whether OF not such exhibitions
should be allowed. There are many
who are skeptical on this subject,
claiming that 1t is all fraud and fake,
but lew who see these exhibitions and
observe the performances Of the subjects
can doubt the genuineness OF the
hypnotic influence. Assumed that the
tests are genuine, the matter assumes a
yet more serious aspect. 1t seems q
very dangerous thing that one person
should exercise so complete control
over the minds Of others. All hyp.
notists assert that no person can be
hypnotized against his will, yet any
casual observer who watches the hyp-
notists night after night can see that the
subject yields each time with evor in
creasing readiness and the possibilities
in this line seem ,llmitless. Then the
effect on the mind OF the Victim Is
something that requires investigation.
1t may be safely asserted that these
public hypnotic exhibitions should not
be permitted.
