During this time the sight of a priest, the act of passing near a church, the pronunciation of a religious formula all have brought on either attacks of violence or spells of dumbness. The association of Ideas which precipitate tlieSe crises were of the most fantastic kind—a piece of white paper suggested the host, ro-maine salud turned her mind toward the Roman church, a glass of chartreuse the brotherhood of Carthusian monks. At these suggestions she would tremble and faint. To nourish a patient under these conditions dally became more and more of a problem.Takes Extreme Measures.In Paris last autumn the doctors whom her husband consulted advised him to Incarcerate her. Deciding to try everything else before resorting to this extreme measure, her husband, on the advce of an eminent chemist, final-ly put her under the treatment of a well-known specialist in psycotherapy, M. Mangin. Six months of treatment, consisting in psychic re-education, either in a state of waking or by superficial hypnosis, gave only results of short duration. The Easter festivities exasperated the patient to the point of frenzy. This decided Mr. Mangin to go to extreme measures. He began a tireless search for a subject suitable for the experiment of a transference of the malady, with all its anguish and strange manifestations. This was a difficult task, for the subject must be of such a delicate and perfect suggestibility as to be able later to be freed in turn from these same miseries.Mme. Georgette Abel, a charming young artist, offered herself for this delicate experiment with as much charity as disinterestedness. On being put to -sleep the subject's hand was placed in the hand of the afflicted woman. In a few moments the subject underwent an indescribable transformation. She was seized with agonizing convulsions. The patient, however, grasped the hand of the doctor, declaring with emotion that she was “liberated.”Malady la Transferred.On the order of M. Mangin, the latter uttered a stream of words touching the church, words which for seven years she had refused to utter under all kinds of compulsion. In the meanwhile, the young artist threw herself on the floor and attempted to beat her head against the wall, crying out in the same manner in which the patient was wont to do. The latter, passing from words to acts, touched a holy medal, handled a crucifix and made a short prnyer, all this quietly and without uny hesitation, while the subject moaned and threw herself about more 'and more.Bng assured of the complete “liberation” of the former sufferer, M. Mangin let the subject sleep while he made suggestions of a soothing nature to her. Then he awakened her. Both .women were in a perfectly tranquil state. Since this time the young wife goes every day to church. She had a long conversation with a friend of the writer who says that not a trace of her former malady was visible. It is two weeks since the cure was wrought and it has been perfectly maintained. As for Mme. Abel, she Is happier and healthier than ever.M. Mangin does not pretend to know by what force he has accomplished this marvelous cure. He does not attempt to Interpret the facts, he only Inquires Into them carefully uud impartially, which Is a great deal.TrouThe been ci past wi bar act of devil up to c ing oui around, operato of our hours I a hitch this w sheet i begin v porter, perforn back dc but Ne to mee step, awork fi ' liater 1'again i their h flew th |trusty towards jat the strange | ments ance ai [not fac i tie dev time to i as Geoiconfidescouple immens meantii along than th too, to great StandiHEN HELPS LIOUOR SEARCHThe the An hold Its court h one o'c ing dels All I see tha ttaied.Now, mer to gather! meeting everyon40-2.PROCEDeco: Regu cil was nell.All n Alderm The i mittee the foil Ole An James, Theo..
