Violet waited and shivered in her
nest of strange green and she could
hardly breathe. for the air was close,
sitting and pungent with queer new
doors. The noise from without fairly
shook her frail head and each time
that she shivered the most wonderful
perfume fioated from her deep blue
gown; but Violet did not realize that.

all her discomfort, that she was so
rarely blessed.

Danger Of Hvpnotism.

Even with the best understanding of
the subject now possible, there is dan
ger in originating anything that puts
a hypnotized person under his own
control-in other words. that origin
ates automatism, writes Dr. M. A.
Veeder in the Medical Record. So long
as the subject is under the control of
the hypnotizer absolutely there is not
so much danger, but let him so out
under his own control and he runs
without a balance wheel. In this way
auto-suggestion, which fortunately is
more difficult and exceptional, may
originate exceedingly unpleasant ex-
periences. The writer has even come
to the conclusion that there may be
causes OF insanity confined to institu.
lions that, IL the truth we're known,
are really OF this type.
