Special Rates to Astbrians Patient Placed Under Hypnotio In . fluence and Suffered Not Least Pain While Physicians Re-, moved Growth. Professor P.. H. McEwen thia morn ing placed 17-year-old Eddie Bitterley under hypnotic Influence and kept him there while Dr. H. L. Henderson and Dr. Nellie Vernon removed from the lad's jaw an abscess as large as a hen's egg. The operation was successful in every respect ,and particularly satis factory to the four principals involved. ' Bitterley is a tall, strong young fel low and says he is a logger. He has lived on the Lewis and Clark river, but his parsnts are dead., His home, he ad ded, ir where he hangs his hat. For some days past the lad had been suffer ing excrutiatlng pain from an abcess which formed under the left ear. The abcess was so painful that the patient cried out in agony this morning before the remarkable operation when Dr. Henderson touched it with a fine hair brush. The operation lasted 20 minutes, dur ing which time the patient was under tl'e influence of McEwen. The hypno tist put te patient to sleep, and, after the abcess had been removed, awoke him. In awakening the lad McEwen told him that he would, upon coming out of his sleep, hear the chorus In the opera "King Dodo," and, at the sug gestion of the hypnotist, the lad ap plauded the music of the chorus which he believed to be before him. ' "During the operation I experienced not the slightest pain," said young Bitterley, as he sat in Dr. Henderson s office after the operation. "I could hear Professor McEwen talking to me, but knew nothin'g of the work of the phy sicians. I knew only that I was asleep and that Professor McEwen was keep ing me there." . The lad added that he experienced no pain after the abcess had been cut open,' and McEwen stated that the wound would heal up without pain to the patient. Bitterley left the office of Dr. Henderson at noon, grateful to the hypnotist and the physicians who had alleviated his sufferings. While the use of hypnotism in surg ery is not new, by any means, demon strations of the kind given .this morn ing are always interesting as showng the wonderful possbllitles of legitimate application of the strange, force which ( ne man may come 10 exen. uver an other. McEwen said this morning that he once kept a man under hypnotic in fluence while doctors amputated his leg. The most famous French surgeon per forms all his capital operations with the aid of hypnotic force, and one of the leading surgeons' in the British army likewise employed hypnosis. As rule sick persons are good subjects, there being some inducement for them to receive the complete suggestion so essential to success. McEwen seemed to regret that the patient operated up on this morning was not one ot tne skeptics who are constantly deriding him, and with whom his patience' Is sorely tried at times. During a conversation with the re porters thia morning the hypnotist ex plained the rotten-egg Incident to which he referred from the platform a few nights ago. The professor reiter ated that the attack was made upon him the night he closed hia engage ment here five years ago. Those v.ho hear! his statement from the platform gatlhered the impression that the at' tack was made perhaps by that class referred to as the skeptics but McEwen explained this morning that the eggs were thrown by uubjeets who had con stltuted part of the class, and who were chagrined at not receiving some remuneration for their services. One of the eggs struck McEwen's hat, while another struck his wife on the back. The affiUr was not ventilated publicly 'or the reason that McEwen left the city the following mornings McEwen also told of the difficulties he encounters with, subjects as well as the general public He admitted that the untruthful statements of "subjects were largely responsible for the cry of fraud which la so often set up concern! lng - hypnosis and hypnotists, . but thought people should withhold Judg ment pending personal investigation in sensitive and says he feels more keeiily, to" the matter. He admits being very perhaps, than others the unjust criti cisms which, are made of his work. His demonstration thia morning was of such nature as to remove any doubt that night have existed as to his mas tery of hypnosis and he was complimented by those enough to have been brought In con; tact with the case. heartily , fortunate J.

On one occasion be staked the f anions campanile bell of St Paul's and lost it to his adversary, a Sir Miles Partridge, who insisted on his pound of flesh and removed the bell. Queen Mary some times resorted to cards and was seldom more lucky than her father, losing oc casionally even her lace caps or coifs, which were worth a good sum. Charles II. loved basset and other round games and would play night fter night and even on a Sunday till daylight while singers entertained the company from a galleiy.
