Unspecialized Physician Using

ized phcian using only hyno-
ia ,iiu suggestion curea nine
out of 12 cases of asthma, two
out of three cases of eczema, but
had no success with one case of
wart j.
Another unspecialized physic
ian using the same tools did quite
as well with asthma and skin
conditions, and he also enabled
a few of his patients t give up
cigarets, including a woman who
smoked four packs a da.
Net Conclusion 0
Between them, these two tried
out hypnosis and suggestion on
161 human beings whose ail
ments had not yielded to pills or
other conventional medical treat
ment. Their net conclusion was that
hypnotism was a mighty handy
tool for a doctor, that it wasn't
too difficult to use, and a doctor
didn't need to be specialized in
psychiatry or anything else to
employ it.
They are English doctors. The
English generally are more will
ing to admit being unorthodox
than Americans. Their findings
and viegji were published by the
British Medical Assn.
In this country, there are a
scattering of unspecialized phy
sicians who employ hypnotism
now and then on medically re
calcitrant patients but they don't
report on it because their col
leagues might be shocked.
Generally speaking, hypno
tism has no standing in general
medical practice either here or
in Britain but in Britain there
is a movement afoot to. give it
gtandng. This has the friendly
backng of the BMA'i technical
journal.

Irrigation districts in the
Rogue valley Saturday reported
favorable water supply outlook
despite recent lack of rainfall
Officials at the Talent Irri
gation district said a larger sup
ply than usual was available
at the start of the season and
the district is "getting along
nicely" now. Snowfall about a
week ago at Hiatt lake was an
unexpected water supply "bonus."
Harold Sexton, secretary-
manager of the Rogue River
Valley Irrigation district, which
obtains its water from the sam
source as the Medford Irriga
tion district, said the outlook is
"very good." No material water
shortage is anticipated, he said.

tablets."
He tried out hypnosis and sug
gestion on 41 such patients and
got what he called "cures" in
23. In seven he got "partial
cures": in 11 he failed. His
"cures" were largely in the dis
orders which are known to have
a psychological component upon
which suggestion might work; his
failures were largely in the
frankly neurotic disorders.
Dr. A. Fry reported results
from 120 patients with assorted
but unyielding to conventional
treatment complaints. Of this
number, 57 "fully" improved, 26
"partially" improved and the re
mainder were "resistant." He
did not use the word "cure."
Conservative in Appraisals
Both doctors were conserva
tive in appraising their results.
Stewart said hypnosis was "valu
able when other methods have
failed." Fry said it was not a
panacea "but far more can be
done with it than has been supposed."
The BMA also published the
academic sanction of Dr. Alex
ander Kennedy, professor of
psychological medicine. Univer
sity of Edinburgh. He said there
was a place for a treatment hyp
nosis which would remove physi
cal symptoms bothering people
even if the treatment didn't get
to the deeply buried states of
mind which caused the symptoms.
'If something is to be done
about the enormous number of
psychoneurotics who clog the
wheels of civilized intercourse,
it may be that our therapeutic
sights should, for the majority
of patients, have a more concrete
aim of relieving symptoms and
making them more happy and
less troublesome to and less de
pendent on their fellows," he
said.

eiress, 12, Beaten
To Death by Father
In Violent Argument
San Francisco OP) Police un
covered today the tragic story
of a schoolgirl whose life came
to a violent end because her
father suspected her of taking
narcotics and flirting with
strangers.
Nancy Elaine Blakely, 12,
died Sunday of brain injuries
received in a violent argument
with her husky father.
Police filed a manslaughter
charge against the father, Rob
ert O. Blakely, a one-time ice
man and grocery clerk who has
not held a regular job for a
year and a half. He was held
for psychiatric observation.
Lived Off Estate
Blakely, his wife Irma, and
their other child, Robert, 9. have
been living off' the income from
a S153.000 estate willed Nancy
by her godfather several years
ago.
Coroner Henry W. Turkey
said an autopsy showed Nancy's
death was due to brain injuries
resulting from a blow or blows
or jarring of the head." He said
the child's arms, legs and body
bore massive bruises, some of
them old, some new. She also
had an ugly wound on the cheek.
Nancy weighed only 80 pounds.
An exceptional student, she
graduated only two weeks ago
from junior high school.
When Nancy's body was car
ried from the Blakely's modest
stucco home, Blakely told po
nce, "There goes a million
bucks."
Nancy led a secluded life, Her
parents did not let her play with
other children. Her mother took
her to school and called for her.
Her schoolmates said she was
pleasant and intelligent.
The argument that led to Nan
cy's death began when the fam
ily returned from church. Blake
ly asked her about a man who
had sat next to her. He did not
recall her reply.
Pushed Her Down
"I pushed her in the hallway
and her head struck the floor,"
he told police. "She rolled over
and loeked up at me and started i
crying. I thought she was putting j
on an act. I picked her up and i
carried her into the bedroom." ;
Then, he told police, he or- i
dered Nancy to "snap out of it."
When she failed to respond,
police said, Blakely "got a head-
lock on her and squeezed her ,
against his chest until her eyes
bulged out."
"Blakely noticed the child
was looking at him with a fixed j
stare. He said he felt her heart i
and that it was beating rapidly," i
officers said
Mrs. Blakely had another j
story, however. She told police
her husband picked up the child I

and threw her across the hall,

ner of the wall.
The parents became alarmed
and called an ambulance. Nancy
was dead by the time it arrived.
