reverting unconsciously to the FEM

He had sedulously kept Philip away
from his patient, partly by reason of
the antagonism which his presence
seemed to arouse, partly because
Philip was unable to realize the
change in the personality of his wife.
Like most of US, he still confused the
body with the soul.
The inattentiOn and lack of sympa-
thy of paid attendants at the asylum
had actually, in DR.. Brodsky's opinion,
aggravated the conditions which exist
ed, and upon removing the girl to his
sanitarium he had Immediately placed
her under the care of two intelligent

guarding her carefully, sought and had

The doctor raised his hand solemn

He rose and fumbled in his pocket.

-yET HERE must be many who
Mf2 remember the sensation
HSH EEyd caused by the news that
LA, kTa3 DR.. Ivan Brodsky, during
lSI the spring of 1908, sue
uNkdSHo ceeded in curing nearly
sO0 out OF some $50 odd insane pa
,teots In the Stafford county
.svlum. He walked through the wards,
,slkiug with the inmates, praying
nth them, laying on his hands-in
.hort performing precisely what the
.oostles had been told to do, and
achieving that exact result which had
been promised to those who had faith.
I believe that, without exception, all
,bose whom he failed to cure were suf-
fering from actual brain LESSONS, or
from some constitutional breakdown,
such as senile decay. Those whom he
cured were, as he explained to me, in
the main persons who had let the
strings of their personalities become
tangled. BY hypnotic treatment Brod-
sky picked up the raveled threads of
consciousness and restored the suf-
fsrers to their normal conditions of
mind.
I have said In the main, for there
we're one or two cases of different
order. 1t had always been Brodsky's
theory that a certain percentage of
N cases of mental arrangement was
due to the actual usurpation of the
body by discarnate spirits. These, he
explained. attempting to come into
mystical relations with the external
world without the happening of birth
or the slow discipline of childhood,
could not achieve normal relations,
and their confusion of apprehension
resulted in the Incarceration IN an asy-
um of the bodies which they had ap-
ropriated.
One such case was that of Rita Dur
ham A girl of excellent birth, her
hmily rich and respected, she had been
engaged to be married when her sad
malady declared itself. 1t was of the
nature OF general paralysis, exhibit
Ing the characteristic lack of muscle

attacks of homicidal mania ensued.
On this account her relatives had been
compelled to have her confined in
The asylum The homicidal mania was
squally suicidal; she had attempted

occasions, on one of these cutting
deeply into her left wrist, which bore
the red scissors scars.

sst were aroused; he secured permits

1t was evident, however, that the
shock of Philips entrance still re-
manned as a disturbing element in the
patients mind. Some shock was
needed to revive the faded memories.
Brodsky supplied this. Of sudden he
pulled a pistol from his pocket,
cooked it, and leveled it at my head.
A choking sound came from the girls
throat. THE pistol" she gasped.
What do you see?" cried Brodsky,
