Hood has lived Ia three absolutely uii
ieFrnt personalities
By hvunotism, and only by hypnotisa
could Dr. Gilbert command Hood 10 as
sumo one or other OF the three personals
ltits OF which his being Is made up.
The histories Hood told were not re
lated while he was hypnOtlzed.
Nypnutism was employed merely u
transform Hood from one personality q
another. and his history was then taken
during his full consciousness IN the en-
suing personality,
And then the facts related by Hood
when fully conscious were found by IN
quiry OF disinterested people TO be true
Hood was admitted 20 the United
