Patient Sings Songs While Under Sur

Fernando Q. I.outzenheiser sent John
Lyons, aged forty-five, into a deep
hypnotic sleep while Drs. A. O. and e.
G. Brant operated on him in Ingleside
hospital, Canton, o., for varicose veins.
The patient was in deep sleep for for
ty minutes, although the operation last.
ed only twenty minutes. During the
operation the patient sang songs at the
command Of the hypnotist.
The operating surgeons were assist
ed by DIR. r. G. Siffert. who was pre-
pared to furnish an anaesthetic should
mental suggestion fail.
Placing his hand on the forehead OF
the patient, the hypnotist murmured:
''You are going to sleep-deep sleep.
You are sound asleep. Now go sounder,
sounder, sounder. You are gong to
sleep deeper, deeper, deeper"
Lyons eyes closed. and 1t was evi-
dent that he was under full control
Tapping Lyons on the forehead and
ciasping one of his hands, the hypno-
list commanded: Say it will not hurt

deeper sleep now, are you not?"
The unconscious man answered the
questions and repeated the words he
was told to say. For an instant the
strain which he was under caused the
hypnotist to gasp. AS he called for a
glass of water he pitched to the floor
in a faint. 1t lasted for only a second.
and he was helped to a stool at the
head of his subject and Immediately
regained the control.
"Some one struck me-" murmured
Lyons. But his remark was cut short
at the command of Loutzenheiser, who
told him to sing.
