CONDON GLOBE, FRIDAY JANUARY 6, 1911 a POWER OF HYPNOTISM. Ramarkabla Cur af a Paraiatant Caaa f Hallucination. Writing in the American Magi tine of tho remarkable cure ef fected by four great medical experts through the means of hypnotism, II. Addingtou Bruce describca a ease which was successfully treated by Dr. Pierre Janet, the noted Pa risian specialist : "The patient suffered from a per sistent hallucination of seeing a man in the room with her. Her relatives believed that she was in sane and wished to place her in an asylum, as she occasionally mani fested suicidal tendencies. But Dr. Janet diagnosed her case as one of hysteria and with the aid of hypo tism made the interesting discovery that the hallucinatory image which she thought she saw was the figure of a lover who had deserted her several years before. It appeared that every time she thought of her faithless sweetheart his image rose before her. "To Janet it seemed a perfectly aimple matter to 'suggest away the hallucination by impressing upon her during hypnosis the idea that when she awoke she would no longer see the imaginary form. But he found that for some reason the sug gestion would not take.' Day after Say he patiently hypnotised her, al ways without success. Finally he began to inspect that at bottom she did not want to be cured and that th passionate desire to see her lov er, if only as a phantasm, constitut ed too strong a 'self suggestion' to overcome by direct attack. An other method would have to be tried. " Tery well,' he one day said to her while she was hypnotked, If vou want to continue seeing your lover, you shall see him. But, re member, you will alwavs see him with the head and face of a pig.' "He then brought her out of the hypnotic sleep into her natural state. Five minutes later she ut tered a cry and covered her eye with her hands. "What is the matter? inquired Dr. Janet calmlv. "at is terrible! Terrible!' she eiclaimed. 'I see a man standing in the corner of the room, and his face is like a pig's!' " 'How absurd!' said Dr. Janet "After this he left her to her own devices, no longer hypnotizing her. For a few days she complain ed that everywhere she went she saw the man with the face of a pig. Gradually the hallucinatory image faded and at length entirely disap peared, leaving her restored to per fect health. As Dr. Janet afterward explained, the grotesque hallucina tion which he had succeeded in im pressing upon her had brought about a profound revulsion of feel ing. Manifestly she could not love a man with a pig's head. She no longer wanted to see her sweetheart or to think of him, and in propor tion as she ceased to think of him the hallucination disappeared." Mixed at to Namea. A young woman who has a treach erous memory for namea had a droll experience not long ago. She had encountered in a railway sta tion a face that seemed familiar to her. She remembered that she had met the young man at the house of a friend some weeks before, but for the life of her she could not at all recollect his name. Finally, howev er, when the young man stopped to shake hands she asked: "Surely this is Mr. Tombstone, whom I met at Mrs. Walker's." The stranger smiled. "You're right as to our place of meeting," said he, "but somewhat twisted as to the name. I am Mr. Stone grave !" Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Not Eaiy to Wed In France; It is no easy matter to be married in France, says F. Berkeley Smith in Success Magazine. One great thing in favor of so sacred a cere mony is an event requiring months of preparation, of the signing of endless papers, the certificates of birth and the consent of parents, until at last the wedding day, which has been arranged for to the entire satisfaction of every one concerned, Including the legal authorities, ar rives. If marriage is difficult, di vorce is even more so. There are no such romantic and youthful ad ventures as eloping on a twelve dol lar capital, handing ten to the ac commodating parson and wiring for forgiveness with the change.
