HYPNOTIsM AS ANAEsTHETIO.
Boys Hip Put Back in Its Socket
Without Giving Him Pain,

Philadelphia - Hypnotism was
brought into play recently in the
Hahnemann Hospital as an anaes-
thetic. The patient. six-year-old
Clark Bender Of No. 1112 Spring
street, underwent the painful oper-
alton of having his dislocated hip
put back into its socket without ut
tering a whimper.
To Ray Murray, an orderly in the
hospital, belongs the credit Of max
ing the operation painless. When
the boy was carried into the hospi-
tai by his grandfather. Samuel Ed
ward, the old man objected to an
anaesthetic being used, even when
the doctors said that the boy was
suffering from a dislocated hip and
that the operation of replacing the
bone, although simple, would cause
the boy excruciating pain.
When the doctors and the grand
father were arguing the matter. Muir
ray, who has read numerous books
on hypnotism and has practiced the
art on many employees of the hospi-
tai, said: Leave it to me, and
will fix the boy so that he won't feel
any pain" The orderly made a few
passes with the hand over the young
ster's face, and the child passed into
a deep slumber. The hip was then
put in place.
When the operation was over Muir
ray had no difficulty in restoring the
patient to consciousness. The boy
said that he had not felt the slightest
sensation while the doctors were ma
nipulating the hip He walked home
with his grandfather The disloca-
tion was caused by a fall.
