While he does not say magnetism is not an element in the “imponderable” mysticism, he says he is unable to convince himself that it has anything whatever to do in the success of his experiments. He argues that the strange influence is a science in the strictest sense, and is a branch that within the past few decadeB has developed with great rapidity and has been introduced in many of the hospitals and curative institutions of France with phenomenal success. He believes it can be understood physiologically and is the influencing of the higher mental faculties as seated in the cerebral hemispheres.The professor selected as his subject a young man of splendid physical and mental developments. The operator made a few “passes” over the patient’s forehead and said “Sleep—Bleep—sleep!” The subject was immediately unconscious and could not be roused by any effort that might be employed. A hypodermic needle was secured from one of the physicians and was passed through the cheek oe the subject and also through his tongue, without the slightest twitching of a muscle. That there was a perfect insensibility to pain no one in the room could doubt. As a last test the sharp needle was thrust under the finger nail, the instrument showing plainly through and under the full length of the nail, yet no sign was visible that the patient was sensible to the least pain. He was next placed by the operator in a somnambulistic state and was completely under the power of the hypnotist and would do his bidding. Thus he was made to eat spoonfuls of capsicum under the impression that' it was ice cream. He ate the pepper with such gusto and apparent relish that he complained becausethere was not more.Before each experiment the patientwas also an acquittal.Instructions in Hypnotism.During his stay in the city Prof. Victor will give instructions in hypnotism, either privately or in classes. He has had many successful pupils and never one who was not successful.
