she said to mo
Miss s. is not going to be here long
She Is going very sudden and very soon
As Miss s. was feeling unusually we'll,
did not credit this assertion. But few
days later | had reason to recall il, when,
without the warning Of any unfavorable
symptoms Miss S. died.
Asked II she remembers the things she
says when in psychic state, Anna answered
'Oh, no. If / did do not know what
would do. / should have 10 much in my
mind. | only remember a little scrap here
and there
She says that she does not find her work
disagreeable, but rather the reverse, eN-
cepting when she il recalled to her normal
state by a sudden, sharp noise. When this
happens IL hurts Ter even more than
blow, and she has feeling Of distress for
some time afterward. She describes her
sensation when she goes into a psychic
state as closing her eyes shutting every
thing out of her thought letting 60, and
watching what she sees and hears.
1t may be stated that the doctor Is q be-
lever in suggestion. Ais first experience
Of the kind occurred the next year after he
was graduated from the medical department
of Columbia College.
At that time the son of a woman who had
been given up to die by number Of well
known doctors begged him 10 come and see
if he could not do something TO save her
He refused, not caring to have the woman
die on his hands. The boy would take no
denial, and at last his pleading prevailed.
A ;ro al M fNiya-
ical cause which would account for the
woman's condition and he concluded that
the trouble must be in the mind and sub
consciousness. Questioning her, he found
that she was much distressed about a certain
matter and greatly depressed.
Being in for it. and feeling that his pro-
fessional reputation was at stake, he de-
termined to try and alter her state of mind
by suggestion, together with the use OF
Indian hemp, which, as is well known.
produces a happy and often n hilarious
state OF mind He told her with reassur-
ing posi,ivene1s that she would recover
and that within forty-eight hours the alarm
ing symptoms would have disappeared.
In little more than thirty hours his asser-
ton was verified and l. a few weeks she
was in her usual good health.
Asked as 10 the remarkable cures he had
known accomplished by suggestion. he
named bad case OF enlargement OF the
bony structure of the head, a so-called
hopeless case OF dernentia and the cure of
one who had taken two seven grain BIZ
chloride Of mercury tablets with suicidal
intent In this last instance the doctor
having been unsuccessful in similar cases
with antidotes suggestion alone was used
and the result was complete recovery OF
the patient.

II is fashionable to keep Lent. but the

explained;
Long walks promote reflection and they
are also exceedingly 60 for the com
pleSion." Adding Il never have time 10
walk during the gay season"
This year the pet Lenten observance Of
society will be fasting, or, to I've strictly
correct, abstaining from certain articles of
food
Talk to any fashionable woman these
DAYS about her mode Of observing Lent,
and she will say something like this
Il mean TO give up butter, or sugar, or
tea or coffee. or pate &c foIe grns, az the
case may be.
pretty girl who Is not n native Of New
