benefits from her investment in the
dramatic rights, which at the time
represented a generous share of her

kearney and Ryan's comedians in
'Finnigan's Ball. are making their
eighth annual tour and will be here
at an early date. Not many farce COM
edies live to reach this age. but 1t has
always been the policy of the manage
ment to secure the best people that
we're to be found in the farce comedy
field, and supply them every year with
new and bright material to work with.
Farce comedy is of that loose dramatic
construction which permits, and even
invites these annual changes or revis-
ion; and when carefully or judiciously
done, as has been the case with The
Ball" the entertainment is really a
new one each year. More elaborate
changes and improvements have been
made in the piece this season than any
time in the last four years, and the
result is, that even those who have
seen the piece many times before, will
find it this year a new entertainment
to them.

Ehe Result OF Experiments in an Ir SINE
Asylum.
In a lecture delivered before the
Kings College Medical Society Dr..
Milne Bramwell gave an interesting
sketch on the subject OF hypnotism
Describing the experiments of Forel
who till recently was medical director
of the Burgholzi Asylum and on # the
professors of the University of Zurich.
he said that he succeeded in hypnotic
ing nearly all his asylum attendants,
both male and female, large proper
ton Of them becoming profound SOM
nambules. For ten years experiments
were made in regard to the use of hyp-
notism in the night watching of dan
gerous Iunatics. Warders were hyp-
notified and trained TO sleep by the
bedside of these patients and to awake
the instant they heard them attempt to
get out of bed, the hypnotic suggestion
being made use of to inhibit all sounds
which had no reference to the duty laid
upon them, and it was found that
warders so hypnotiZed could perform
night duty for six months and work
hard all day without showing signs of
ments we're. it is said, uniformly sue
cessful. and no accident of any kind
occurred.
In regard to this and other applica-
tions Of hypnotism Dr. Bramwell refers
to the method of Wetterstrand, who
instead of restricting himself to sug
gestions made in the course of short
li5yDnotic trance, advocated the Use OF
the curative effects of prolonged hyp-
motto sleep. wetterstrand treated epi-
iepsy and grave forms of nervous dis
order by keeping the patients in the
hypnotic trance for three or four
weeks. Without rousing them the pa
tents were fed at stated intervals,
and the actions of the bowels and blad-
der were regulated by suggestion. and
thus mental as well as physical rest
was given, in addition to such thera-
peutic advantages as might be gained
by aid of suggestion.
DR.. Milne Bramwell says that, al
though every one cannot be deeply
hypnotized, profound states are not
necessary for the successful employ
rnent OF suggestion. and the number of
persons insusceptible to some degree
Of hypnotic influence is extremely
small. Among other diseases he gives
the following as those in which hyp-
notism has given good results. "Hy-
steria. neurasthehia. dipsomania, and
other drug habits. obsessions.
moral perversities and nervous tricks
in children. We may add that. as
far as. the treatment of dipsomania is
concerned it seems nct entirely Inn
possible that some of the startling re-
suits which are said to have been cb-
tanned at certain institutions for the
treatment of this condition may have
been the outcome OF an unacknowl-
edged, but none the less effectual APP
