"A y EW YORK.-Dr. Jekyll drank
chemical reagent and became
the bad Mr.. Hyde. He changed
Il himself back to the good Dr.
Jekyll by the same means.
Eminent scientists. to-day are expert
menting with reagent for which they
claim the power to perform the
miracle of converting Mr.. Hyde into
DIR. Jekyll BY this mysterious power
they are making bad men good, weak,
men powerful, mediocre men talented.
And the beautiful thing about this
reagent they say, is that every one
has 1t in his own possession, to com
mand at will. Only when he lacks the
will to use it, after learning the sim
pie processes of its application, need
he employ others, skilled in the art
of handling 1t, to administer 1t to him.
This is the claim now made for
hypnotic suggestion. that 1t is the one
reagent by which man can transform
himself into the ideal of what in his
best moments he aspires to be.
For 25 years DIR. John ID. Quacken-
hos, former professor of psychology in
Columbia university, has been study
Ing and practicing the art of curing
and reforming persons by this process.
He has treated 1000 cases by sugges-
ton given during hypnotic sleep.
What he has accomplished, often
seeming to approach the miraculous,
and the exact processes by which he
and other skilled suggestionists oper-
ate. Dr. Quackenbos is now to make
public, in book to be issued from
the press of Harper & Bros.
DR.. Quackenbos gives to the New
York Sunday World. in anticipation of
his forthcoming exposition. the revel-
alton of his discoveries and remark
able experiences.
AS few instances of the power of
hypnotic suggestion, as he has proved
1t, Dr. Quackenbos cites the following:
A leading lady in a Broadway theat-
rical company owes her rise to fame
to inspiration given during hypnotic
sleep "At the time of her visit to me
she was adjudged to possess but a
slender mediocrity of talent" says DR..
Quackenbos. Two treatments evoked
the realistic touch of Bernhard. 1t
was in her. She was only inspired to
express 1t on the instant, and the peo-
pie of New York have for months
given singular evidence of their won
der and delight"
A woman artist who has recently
painted portrait from life of King
Edward VII, and previously had por-
trayed many other royal personages
owes the inspiration to do the work
that has made her famous to sugges
ton given to her during few sessions
of hypnotic sleep.
A private ambassador representing
President Mckinley on an important
diplomatic mission was enabled to
utilize talents he had never before
shown that he possessed because of
an idea of power implanted in his
mind during one hour of hypnotic
sleep.
Other cases are cited to show that
a dying person--one who has even
passed beyond the realms of con-
sciousness back to life. and in in
stances to health, by such words as
were spoken to the apparently MORT
bund Adele: Adele, where are you
going? You cannot die! Come back,
you have work to do on earth. Come
back at once"
Came Back to Life.
OF the girl Adele, DIR, Quackenbos
says: In answer to the summons the
upturned eyes resumed their natural
angle and became riveted on mine.
Gradually the mental mist
cleared away, the physical strength
