urge That In the interests Of public health
venereal diseases like other infections shall

opposition to measures tending to the re-
striction OF these diseases Is most natural:
on the one hand from women. who feel that
II is an s~ggravation of a shocking injustice
and wrong to their sex: on the other. from
those who feel the moral guilt IN a legal

contemplate the frightful train of miseries

not alone on her associates. but on scores OF
the tnn-ccent-whose bitter cry should make
the opponents of legislation TO feel that
any measures OF restriction, any measures
OF registration, would be preferable to the

JUDGE SHERWOOD'S
R~EMINISCENCE.

Judge Thomas A. Sherwood OF the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court. tells a story Of his
practice at nisf prius in the early days. One
Of his first cases was 4 suit in ejectment,
before Judge Burr Emerson. the presiding
deity Of a judicial circuit in Southwest Mis-
souri, some thirty-fve years ago. He had
finished the closing argument for plaintiff,
and was confidently awaiting a decree in
his favor. when the court delivered itself as
follows:
Sherwood. your argument Is good, your
points well taken and your reasoning ap-
parertly supported by the weight OF au-
thority. but IL your client owns this land.
Waldo p. Johnson owns my barn and the
land on which 1t is situated. Now, as a
matter Of fact. l know that Waldo p. John
son does not own my barn, nor the land It
is built on. Judgment for defendant"
Burr Emerson had been a soldier in the
Confederate Army. When the war closed
he came home. Joined the Republicans and
was by that party elected TO the circuit
bench. One OF his old comrades afterwards
reproached him for this seeming reputation
OF his former principles.
"Look-ee here. friend" the indomitable
Burr replied. IF you were alone on the

HOW JUDGE PRIEST CHANGED
HIS DELIVERY.

No one who has listened to the mid and
subdued tones Of Judge H. s. Priest as he
presents a case TO the Supreme Court, in
that calm. sedate and imperturbable man
ner which his legal friends SO much admire.
and which always renders his remarks so
impressive, would ever suppose that he
had once possessed the vocal accomplish
ments OF the auc;ioneer. Yet such Is the
fact. Judge Priest put IN his present gen.
tie and unassuming manner before the
court some seven or eight years ago. and
has never once dotted IL since. Colonel John
r. Green. clerk of the Supreme Court. tells
how the change occurred. On this occa-
sion, Judge Priest. IL seems, was giving a
pyrotechnic display of his hortative powers

progress OF the argument. Frank Hager-
man, the Kansas City lawyer, and Colonel
Bob Railey OF Har~risonyille stepped into
the clerks Office and inquired the cause Of
the disturbance In Division No. /. The
clerk told them that 1t was Judge Priest
addressing the court.

One of the most striking characteristics
of the modern treatment OF disease IS the
return to what used to be called the natural
methods-diet. exercise. bathing and mas
sage. here probably never has been a
period in the history Of the profession when
the value OF diet IN the prevention and the
cure of diseases was more fully recognized.
Dyspepsia the besetting malady OF this
country, is largely due to improper diet,
imperfectly prepared and too hastily eaten.
one Of the great lessons to be learned is
that the preservation OF health depends In
great part upon food well cooked and care
fully eaten. A common cause Of ruined
digestion. particularly in young girls, is
the eating OF sweets between meals and the
drinking OF the denominations dispensed In
the chemists shops IN the form of ice cream
sodas. etc, Another frequent cause of
ruined digestion in business men is the
hurried meal at the lunch counter. And a
third factor, most important Of all. Illus
Ira;es the old maxim, that more people are
killed by o~vereating and drinking than by
the sword. Sensible people have begun to
realize that alcoholic excuses lead inevita-
bly, to impaired health. A man may take
four or five drinks of whisky a day. or even
more, and thinks perhaps that he transacts
his business better with that amount of

The Scientific View of
Hypnotism and Christian Science

Hypnotism. introduced by Mesmer in the
past century. has had several revivals as a
method of treatment during the present
century. The first careful study OF IL was
made by Braid. a Manchester surgeon who
Introduced the terms OF hypnotism. hypnot-
&c and nervous sleep; but at this time no
very great measure of success followed its
Use In practice. except perhaps in the case
Of an Anglo-Indian surgeon, James Es-
daile, who, prior to the Introduction of an
aesthesia. had performed 26l surgical opera-
lions upon patients in a state OF hypnot,c
rnconsciousness. About 1880 the French INV.
s.cians. particularly Charcot and Bernheim
took up the study, and since that time

Shakespeare says, in the description of
Lady Macbeth" the person receives a,
once the benefit of sleep and does the ef-
fects OF acts of watching or waking. Thera-
POLITICALLY. the important fact is that the
individuals natural susceptibility to sug-
gestion Is Increased. and this may hold
after the condition of hypnosis has passed
away. The condition OF hypnosis is usually
itself induced by suggestion. requesting the
subject to close the eyes. to think Of sleep,
and the operator then repeats two or three
times sentences suggesting sleep. and sug-
costing that the limbs are getting heavy
and that he Is feeling drowsy. During this
state II has been found that the Subjects
are very susceptible to suggestion. Too much
must not be expected of hypnotism, and
the claims which have been made for 1t
have been too often grossly exaggerated. 1t
seems. as IT has been recently put, that

g~estions more effective for good or bad

suggesting to the victims Of alcohol and
drugs that they should get rid of their in
ordinate desires. It has been used success
fully In certain cases for the relief of labor
pains and In surgical operations. but, on the
whole. while a valuable agent in a few
cases, It has scarcely fulfilled the expecta-
tons of its advocates. IL is a practice not
without serious dangers. and should never
be performed except in the presence OF a
third person. and Its indiscriminate practice
by ignorant persons should be prevented by
law.
One mode of faith-hea1ing In modern days,
which passes under the remarkable name
of Christian Science. Is probably nothing
more than mental suggestion under another
name. THE patient is told to be calm. and
Is assured that all will go well; that he
must try to aid the healer by believing that
what is told him is true. The healer then,
quietly. but firmly. asserts and reiterates
that there is no pain. no suffering. that il is

patient Is getting we'll This Is precisely
