NEW YORK, March 80.-Hypnotism

sey aud put into successful execution
by DIR. John ID. Quackenbos Of this
city.
Six girls, inmates OF the New Jersey
Home For Girls Mt Trenton, have been
under treatment by DR.. Quackenbos
for proneness to ungovernable fits of
temper. profanity. insane Jealousy and
acts OF violence. Two OF the six were
first hypnotized last summer. They
and four others were brought TO this
city for further treatment.
For two months one OF the two first
treated, who had been the most re-
fractory Of the 800 inmates, conducted
herself with the utmost decorum. "She
was a perfect angel" said the superin-
tendent. During this period she wrote
pathetic letter, telling how hard she
was trying 10 become a good girl and
how. with Gods help aud that of the
superintendent. she hoped 10 succeed.

the officers are women.
Mary Il. was the girl who behaved
80 well for two months after being
treated. She would fly into fits OF
temper. would scream and during her
spasms was absolutely unapproacha-
BILE.
Dr. Quackenbos. while she was
asleep under his direction. told her that
she must control herself. that she must
not indulge In fits OF temper and that
she must work OF her attacks In other
directions. The girl responded TO the
suggestions and for two months was
a model inmate. Then she broke down
and relapsed.
Some time after she had been treat
ed by DR. Quackenbos and was still
under the influence ~ his suggestions
the girl wrote Mrs. Mansell letter In
which she promised 90 reform.
