CURES BY HYPNOT1SM.
Interexting Account of Experime nts
in an English Insane Asylum
During Ten Years.

In lecture lately delivered before
the Kings College Medical society DR.
Milne Bramwell gave an interesting
sketch of the subject of hypnotism, re-
PORTS the London Hospital. Describ
ing the experiments of Florel, who till
recently was the medical director OF
the Burgholi asylum and one of the
professors of the University of Zurich
he said that he had succeeded in hyp.
nothing nearly all his asylum attend
ants both male and female, large
proportion of them becoming pro-
found somnambules. For ten years ex.
periments were made in regard to the
use of hypnotism in the night watch
ing of dangerous lunatics. Warders
were hypnotized 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 in
hibit all sounds, which made no refer
ence 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 with
out showing signs of fatigue. The re-
suit of these experiments were, it is
said, uniformly successful, and no &C.
cident of any kind occurred.
In regard to this and other applica-
lions of hypnotism DR.. Bramweu re-
fers to the method of Wetterstrand,
who instead of restricting himself to
suggestions made in the course of a
short hypnotic trance, advocated the
use of the curative effects of prolonged
hypnotic sleep. Wetterstrand treated
epilepsy and grave forms of nervous
disorder by keeping the patients in
the hypnotic trance for three or four
weeks. Without rousing them, the
patients were fed at stated intervals,
and the actions of the bowel 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 everyone, cannot be deeply
hypnotized, profound states are not
necessary for the successful employ
ment of suggestion, and the number
of persons insusceptiblet to some degree
of hypnotic influence is extremely
small. Among other diseases he gives
the following as those in which hypno-
tism has given good results: "Hysteria,
neurasthenia, dipsomania, and other
drug habits, obsessions, moral per-
versities and nervous tricks in chill
dren." We may add that, as far as the
treatment of dipsomania is concerned
it seems not entirly impossible that
some of the startling results which are
said to have been obtained at certain
institutions for the treatment of this
condition may have been the outcome
of an unacknowledge but none the less
effectual application of hypnotic sug-

MAKEUP SONG FOR SUMMER

Wake up! wake up!' chirps the sparrow
Don't you know it is tomorrow
Il see you! pipes robin bright,
Sleeping in the morning light!'
Up! all lazy boys and girls,
Straighten out your tumbled curls!
Open eyes and brighten faces,
Don Your smiles and pretty gracesl
All the birds are long awake,
ALI the flowers an airing take,
And before they see your eyes,
They have calls from butterflies!
While the fairy-winged sweet peas
Invite the golden-belted bees
To their breakfast In the shade, Ill.,.
Playing pretty Waiter-maid!
The cows are eating clover tops,
The farmer tending to his crops:
Cocks are Growing, hens are feeding,
Flocks of fluffy chickens leading.
Listen! how the brooklet babies,
Washing smooth its shining pebbles
Taking pictures of the sky,
Talking with the dragon-f1y!
Everything is wide awake
Hear the crickets in the brake!
Grasshoppers, down in the grass,
Say: HAS 1t come to such pass
That the children sleep so late,
AS We heard the robin slater"
Oh, who would be sleepy-head
Lying in a stuffy bed?

Evicted by Bees.

An English writer says: Some of
the smaller birds are deliberately
turned out of their nests at times by
bees. remember watching for the
completion Of hedge sparrow's nest
a few years ago, but before the birds
had laid any eggs the nest was
usurped by small species of humble
bee and the rightful owners DESERT

nests in his garden taken possession
of by bees in q similar manner, and
I once knew of tawny owl being

was in Washington a few days ago
calling upon his old friends in con-
gress whom he knew when he repre-
sented his state in the house.
"McCreary was fine campaigner," !"
said a Kentuckian. When he went
the rounds OF his district he kissed
ali the babies. praised the cooking Of
the housewives, judged the cattle Of
the farmers, and adapted himself to
all circumstances. One night he drove
up to the house of farmer to stop
all night. but arrived after the supper
hour. The good woman OF the house
insisted on getting him a supper, but
he resisted and said he would take
anything cold that she had.
"She told him she had some cold
ham and cold biscuits and would
warm the coffee.
Never mind warming the coffee,
madam said McCreary, I prefer it

good lady handed him a cup of sickly
looking liquid, saying, Governor,

crouches low down, draws the match
quickly over trousers, rises and
throws his arm high above his head
as the flame appears and then tosses
the match at once away. having given
himself just time to take a quick
look about him. He scratches the
match low down; thus you, II you are
there, hear the sound in one place.
He lifts it above his head and thus
the sound and the light in two diner
ent localities at almost the same time
confuse you, and II you shoot at the
flame you do not hit the cracksman.
He throws the match quickly away,
so that you may not have the look
around the room that he obtained. =
