and with these have come new forms OF
indigestion. dyspepsia, nervous diseases
and new causes of worry. There is an
idea in the minds of the new generation
that corn and all the varieties of food, all
the toothsome dishes. that are -derivable
therefrom, are to be left to those whose
tastes are common, and whose associa-
tons must be low. This, consciously or
unconsciously, is the view of a consider
able number of those who are to take UP
the destinies of the republic and carry
them a little way on their long journey;
and this is curious, too when we think OF
the nature of our political fabric. Are We
to change our principles and beliefs by

Hypnotism and Crime.
From the London Nail.

From the London Nail.
DIR. Forbes Winslow in an address last
night to the members of the Psyche
Therapeutic Society at Caxton Hall Cenied
the possibility of making a person while
under hypnotic influence commit a crime.
He admitted that. If the subject hypno-
tized was a real criminal, such influence
might make him commit a criminal act.
but not if the person was of real moral
worth. DR.. Winslow proved by practical
experiment the truth of his assertion as
to the mpossiblity of a person hypno-
tized committing crime against his will.
A subject was hypnotized by the lecturer
and made to do many things at his sug-
gestion. but not anything of criminal
nature This. said DR.. Winslow, showed
that, although the subject was uncon-
scious. there was still a controlling power
over his will.
