Hypnotlsm a Bad PIaythlnn.

Monmouth, Ill.-Mrs. Marshall Mink.
who, with her husband, was hypnotizcI
by reading Professor Harraden's books
on hypnotism, died at Walkertown asy-
lum. The case is one of the most pc
cullar and mystifying ever known. The
victims were under 80 years of age,
are parents of two children and both
were sound mentally and physically.
Recently they saw an advertisement CT
Professor Harraden or Jackson, Mich.
who purported to teach hypnotism in
~ lessons by mail course. Minks sent
for the books. In the first lesson both
came partially under hypnotic infu4
ence, and for several days they con-
tlnued in that state, both endeavoring
to exercise their will power over the
other. The husband at last lost con
troll over his wife, and both were
brought here. The case puzzled ply
slcians. A local hypnotist partially
succeeded in restoring Mrs. Mink 10
her normal state, but only for a brief
period. She became worse and was
sent to the asylum
