Many Cures Effected

IFi dHy SutCo LHSAtCu
Cures more rema rlzable even than
those recorded in Boston have been ef-
fected in San Francisco, it is stated,
and out of over 200 cases treated
eomplete restoration OF a most marked
benefit from the scientific application
of mental suggestion" Exceptional
success has been attained in the treat
ment of confirmed drunkards--indeed,
not one case of dipsomania has failed
of cure. Nervous affections, insomnia
and melancholia also arc reported to
have been completely mastered by the
psychopathy.
Doctor Shields stated that the great
ment is segregation in a sanatorium
removed from the general hospital,
where mental patients are brought into
contact with scenes and sounds of
misery and horror and where the in
huence is, like the treatment, opti-
mistic and Frightening.
Doctor Shields in the course of his
address said:
The cases during the year in
San Francisco have been most
varied in character-in fact, they
have pretty well run the gamut of
human ills and afT1ictions. 1t has
ranged from the cigarette slave to
the palytic. The psychpathic treat
only after thorough medical exam
ination and in harmony with sci
entific medical treatment.
The pioneer work in this field
has caused amazement and evoked
commentator from prominent
clergymen and physicians who have
followed it. L have not hitherto
detailed publicly any of the specific
cases.
Perhaps the most remarkable case
we have had was that of a 8 year
old girl afflicted with ST. Vitus'
dance, having suffered for four
years Her face twitched continu-
were fearful to behold. She was
utterly unable to remain quiet for
a moment, having no control over
her body The mental treatment
lasted but few months, when she
became perfectly normal. She has
rapidly grown more and more at
tractive, has suffered no recurrence
during the several months since her
dismissal, and is now an attractive,
pretty, healthful maid.
Alcoholism has been found to
yield completely to mental sugges-
ton and we have had numerous
notable cases. One well known
physician, whose case was de-
SPARED of by fellow doctors, has
not touched a drop in nine months
past, though he was a slave to his
liquor for years.
One poor young woman came in
such condition that she was seeing
snakes and reptiles of all sorts.
Hers was the worst case | have
seen in my experience. Now she is
cured, the images have ceased and
her health is greatly improved.
Doctor Shields stated that no charge
had been exacted from any patients
throughout the years work at St.
Luke's, the treatments having been
conducted voluntarily to all applicants
as humanitarian endeavor
A second lecture covering other
phases of the movement will be deliv-
cred by Doctor Shields here tomorrow
night.

When we were held up the shorter
bandit sat on the sandbox in front of

OARKIES TRY

RAIDEO A GAME
SPECIAL OFFICER SURPRISED
BUNCH OF NEGROES IN CRAP
GAME AND ESCAPING GAMES
TIERS FIRED ON HIM FROM THE
DARK.

Special Officer Anderson late last
night surprised a bunch of negroes,
possibly thirty in number, in crap
game on West Belmont street, and
alone attacked the crowd. The usual
pandemonium reigned for the next
few seconds, and the most of them
got away. Eight or nine wer arrest
ed, however, and were lodged in the
city Jail, charged with participating in
game.
The officer had his bunch huddled
waiting for the patrol wagon, it was
reported, when two shots were sud-
denly fired from out in the darkness,
and as many bullets were heard to
sing their way to resting places. The
officer did not know who was doing
the shooting, but quickly whipped
out his own revolver and let them
know that he was not inactive, by
firing a couple of shots, more to
brighten the negroes than to hit any
one. The shots seemed to have had
the desired effect, for none others
came from the dark. The special Of
ficer will try to find the identities
of the negroes with the ready guns
of the night, and will make cases
against them II possible.
