 The Professors" offices were drap- ed with Oriental tapestries bearing uncanny symb bols; penetrating aromas of Eastern odors pervaded the place, and in secluded corners candles of some peculiar kind gave forth dim, bluish flames.
 After she told him she had been taken ill while passing his place, he ushered her into an inner room and questioned her. She told him she slept badly, had disturbing dreams, and suf- fered from lump in the chest. There upon he advised her that she was a victim of neuralgia and rheumatism, and that hers was a case of a rare kind which had baffled physicians Then he offered to cure her in four treatments. which would cost $15, but when she pleaded that she was a working woman he "haggled a little' and finally agreed to take s10, of which she gave him g on account.

Then he placed me on re- clining chair and passed his fingers neck.
 This he did rapidly, with a pecu- liar twist of his fingers. Then he clapped his hands together several times. giving vent, at the same time, to guttural sounds in strange again this time passing his hands over my forehead, shoulders abdo- men, breast, legs and feet.
 Next he placed towel over my bared chest, and blew his breath upon it. He then blew into both of my ears, with such force that I was led to inquire if he were using bellows or his mouth.
 ''He told me to stand up, and press ed the back of my neck with his fingers He ordered me to inhale and exhale three times. I compiled, and he then pa ssed his hands over my en- tire body, clapping his hands when through.

 Do you use electricity?' asked.
 "He answered that he did, and then proceeded to give me treatment, saying that it was good for scircula- tion.' This consisted of my Tying flat on a reclining table and having elec- tricfty passed through my body.
 "When this was over, he informed me that my first treatment was end- ed. I then asked him if he wasn't going to give me some medicine to use while away. He said that he new CT prescribed medicines, as they were useless, but advised that I refrain from taking too many soda waters, ice creams Or anything else too cold. He then admonished me to take an apple and two glasses of water before each breakfast He held my wrist for several minutes and said that already my pulse was much better. I visited him twice later, but the treatments were practically repetitions of the first"
