very positively that there Is no drug

the public imagination. The newspapers
were full OF stories OF girls and women
who had suddenly been fixed and para

and who had been compelled by his will
TO fantastic acts which they were power

the idea. and stories centering around
hypnotic influence became common. 1t

rious culprits alleging that they had been
hypnotxed and compelled against their
will to perform unlawful acts. All this
occurred In spite OF the fact frequently
stated and known by every scientific
man, that the limitations OF hypnotism
are definite and well recognised; that no
person can he hypnotised unknowingly
or against his WILL and that few persons
are SO susceptible as TO be capable OF
being compelled TO perform acts beyond
their own volition and knowledge.
