"Tho norder Land of Science" was the
topic of an Instructive lecture delivered to
the students of the Crelghton Medical col
lege by Rov. Father Coppcns , M. D. , last
Tuesday. It was as follows ;
"In this last lecture of our course I pro-
jioso to make a brief excursion with you Into
the border land of science , a region chlclly
occupied by Imposture and superstition. To
enow there Is such a territory , wo have only
to name a few of Its Inhabitants , such as
mesmerism , animal magnetism , odyltsm ,
hypnotism , mind reading , faith cures , clair
voyance , spiritism. Including table rapping ,
spirit rapping , moat of which have been used
In connection with medicine. I do not main
tain that all of these are mcro vagaries ,
empty shadow-it , without the least reality ,
more ghosts and hobgoblins , mere phantoms
of the heat oppressed brain , or cunning de
vices of Impostors to deceive a gullible crowd
of the Ignorant public. Yet most of these
are such beyond a doubt , and as such are
totally unworthy of our attention.
" .Medicine Is a science ; It deals with un-
doubtCil facts and certain principles , and
with theories In HO far as they arc supported
by well ascertained realities. The border land
of which I speak presents to our Investiga
tion few certain facts. H Is chielly the do
main of Imposture. Charlatans and show
men and medical quacks call things facts
that are not facts , Among all the Inhabi
tants of the shadowy region that I have
enumerated , there Is only one considered to
day by the science of medicine as worthy of
Its attention. It Is hypnotism. As Us IIrat
origin Is connected with the history of mes
merism , and the latter , though Itself a
phantom , has been used as the chief patron
of all the other phantoms , I will premise n
few words about mesmerism Itself. Mesmcr
was born about 1733 , studied In Vienna aud
thcro became a doctor of medicine In 17CG.
Boon after ho began to speculate on the
curative powers "of the magnet and claims to
have discovered the existence of a force In
man Hlmllar to magnetism and the source of
trong Intluenco on the human body.
CRKATKS A FURORE IN PARIS.
"In 1775 ho published an account of the
medical powrm of tills animal magnetism ,
which from hid name was afterward called
tnramerlsm. Paris was then the center of
attraction for scientific discoverers and pro-
tendciM , Thither Mesmcr betook himself and
there ha soon created a lively uensatlon by
the exhibition of mesmeric trances , some of
which were accompanied by clairvoyance
that Is , the power of seeing objecta con
cealed from the oyrs. Ho was atao sup
posed to work some Inexplicable curia.
"Tho secret of his art ho could not bo In
duced to reveal , oven for the price ot 310,000
Ilvrrs , that were offered him In compensa
tion. People began to doubt whether he had
n real secret , or whether ho wca a rank
Impostor. A royal commlaalon waa ap
pointed to examine. Into tlm matter. Our
llcnjamln Franklin , then In Paris , was one
of the commUsloncru , Their report waa un
favorable. They found no proof of the e.xlnt-
i-nco of n lluhl uuch OB unlnm ! mngnetlain
and thought that all that wca not Imposture
could be accounted for by the power ot Im
agination , In a secret report they pointed
out very strongly the dangum likely to arlnc
from thla unhcaltliy utlmulua to thu Im
agination. Their verdict dora honor to their
learning and their common utilise. Metimcr
left Paris and he died In olucurlty In 1S15 ,
"Hut his pretended discovery did not diet
nvllh him. It was a nvlue ot resources to tha
rbarlatuua and luiycutoru generally. There
wcro strnngo effects produced and at tha
sight of the Inexplicable men leae their wits.
The gullible public wonders , restless minds
experimented and many pondered thought
fully on facts , most of which were not facts
at nil. Uut after eliminating all the ee- !
montn of imposture and cxaggsratlon there
seemed to remain n residue of phenomena
that were strange and unaccountable.
THEORY OF HYPNOTISM.
"About IS 10 the vaunted claims of the
many clairvoyants wore exposed before the
French Academy of Medicine- , which passed
a resolution rejecting mesmerism altogether
as unworthy of notice on the part of scien
tific men. The theory nf a mesmeric fluid ,
until then the only one 'advanced , had evi
dently bean abandoned. Science with all
lUt teats could find no such cause of the re
sults produced. Uut In 1S42 an English phy
sician. Dr. James Drald , hit upon a more
plauslbio theory. Ho conjectured that the
actions of the mesmeric subject could bo
explained without a fluid by the suggestion
of phantaoms to him on the part of the mcs-
morlser. Dr. Carpenter , then a great author
ity , defended his theory , but tha medical
branch of the British association disdained
to consider the matter. Dr. llrold thought
the mesmeric trance was only a state of
uomnambullsm artificially 'brought ' about ,
and lie coined the word hypnotism to Indi
cate the artificial sleep. Other attempts to
promote the cause of hypnotism were made
In the United States and other lands , but
no very definite or scientific rtsultu were
reached until 187S , when the celebrated Prof.
Charcot and others made Its nature and pos-
slblllWes the subject of a thorough study
and abundant experimentation at the Paris
hospital of La Salpetrioro and In many olhor
places. At present It la admitted by distin
guished medical scientists that hypnotism Is
a reality , capable of being utilized for Im
portant purposes. Many clfccts have been
demonstrated to bo produced by It as real
as any ordinary phenomena of nature. Hut
on the explanation of their causes thcro
hangs still n cloud of obscurity.
"Tho. Paris School of Doctors attributed
the effects to physical causes , chief among
which are the ? diseases of the nerves. Those
of Nancy trace- the phenomena to a psychical
source , namely , to suggestion that Is , action
on tlio subject tnrougn nis imagination ex-
c-ltcd by word.i , signs or In any other manner.
Tills appears to be , In the main , the theory
of Dr. Urald Indicated by modern science.
Probably enough , both schools are right In
their way. the suggestions not taking effect
except whera persons' nervous affections
have prepared the way. The beneficial re
sults claimed for hypnotism by the scientific
men who have .mado Its study a specialty
are cMelly as follows :
BENEFITS OF HYPNOTISM.
" 1. It actfl as a temporary sedative , quiet
ing the nerves of tha patient exceedingly
excited. It waa thus employed , for Instance ,
on an old woman who was near her death
and who had not been able to make neces
sary preparations for that Important event ,
being bsldo herself with nervous agitation.
She obtained by this means a calm comlltlon
for Home seven or eight hours , Hypnotism
was for her like- the visit of a good angel
rrom heaven.
" 2. It Is used as an anaesthetic In place
of chloroform , which In many cases cannot
bo applied without great danger to health ,
or oven life. Thus perfect Insensibility maybe
bo procured and long continued , allowing
sometimes of the performance of protracted
surgical operations that would otherwise bo
almost Impossible.
" 3. At other times It Is employed with
out depriving thu patient of consciousness
ca a mere pain killer , to that the hurt In
felt Indeed , but not attended with keen
suffering.
M. It l.i claimed that the skillful ap
plication of hypnotism can at times not only
alleviate the pain of an Injury , but even
cure nervour , affections more or Ictis per
manently , removing , for Instance , the de
fect of stammering.
"C. There are not wanting cases In
which even Improvements are claimed to
bo produced , at least In the removing of bad
habits , such an drnnkennras. It hypnotism
can euro Intoxication permanently , or oven
for a season , It deserves to bo encouraged.
Yet even then It must bo used with great
caution , for there may bo very evil consequences
quences multlug from Its use. To realize
fully tha dangers and the evils attendant
upon hypnotism you must understand tbo
three stages , through which the patient Is
made to pass these of lethargy , catalepay
and soinnan Lnllsni.
DANGEROUS TREATMENT. .
"Each nf these Is a disease In Itself and
thus It Is neen nt once that a treatment
which employti diseases as Its means of
cure must bo a dangerous kind. After the
patient has been hypnotized by any of the
various processes the chief ni'o mc.smerlc
passes of the hypnotlzer's hands , his cyen
fixed Into the eyes of his subject , or the
lattcr's on an object co held cs to strain hU
eyes the first stage of hypnotism la ob
tained , that of lethargy. In the lethargic
state , the subject appears to be sunk In a
deep sleep ; his body U perfectly helplieo ,
the limbs hang slackly down and when
raised fall heavily into the same position.
In this condition all the striated or voluntary
muscles rcp.ct on mechanical excitement.
Without an accurate knowledge of anatomy
much harm may bo done by the experiment.
"Tho secern ! stage Is that of catalepsy ,
certainly not a healthy condition to br > In.
Its grand feature la a plastic Immobility
by which the subject maintains nil the atti
tudes given to his body and limbs , but with
this peculiarity , that the limbs and features
act In unison. Join the hands of the patient
as If In devout prayer and his countenance
assumes a devout expression ; clench his list
and anger Is depleted In his features.
"The third ntage Is that of somnambulism.
The akin la now Insensible to pain , but ex
cessive keenness LH manifested In
the sight , hearing , smell and muii-
cular sense. Hero the ImpMtor can pay ! oft
his pretended clairvoyance or second slsht ,
for the subject will discover objects hidden
from fight by the seiuio of amcll and other
acnsrs affected with abnormal power. The
somnambulist will now exhibit the utmoat
sensibility to suggestions made to him by
the hymollzcr ; , so that ho seems to lo al
most entirely controlled by the Influence of
the lattcr's will. This la what chiefly fa
vored the early theory that a mesmeric fluid
emanated from the mcsmorlzor by means of
which he could act In his subject ca ho
pleased. The experiment by suggestions
seems to succeed best with hysterical pa
tients , which fact confirms the morbid char
acter of the hypnotic trance.
FIELD FOR A SCIENTIST.
"If any distinguished scientist , or doctor
who can afford It wishes to make a special
Htudy of hypnotism , which la otlll so Im
perfectly understood , ho may lender n val
uable service to humanity , and in particu
lar to the nclenco of medicine , llut if any
ordinary physician asked my advlco about
devoting attention to this pursuit I would
emphatically tell him , 'Leave it alone ; you
are not likely to derive real benefit from
It , and you are very likely to Inspire your
clients with distrust of you when they oeo
you deal with matters which have deserved
a bad name on account of the charlatans and
the superstitious abu&cs usually connected
with them. ' This Is not my opinion alone ,
but alfio that ot distinguished writers on the
subject.
"When there Is a question of hypnotic se
ances or exhibitions such as are designed to
feed the morbid cravings of the public for
what ta mysterious and sensational , I would
call special attention to the following ob
jections against such practices ,
" 1. Medical authorities maintain that
It requires at least ca much
knowledge of tnorapeutlcu to use
hypnotism safely as It dors for general prac
tice of medicine , and requires of a phyol-
clan who cngagca In It a more thorough
mastery of the profession than many other
branches of the healing nrt , and therefore
that It Is as objectionable to allow non-pro-
fcsslonala to deal with hypnotUm as It would
bo to allow medical practice promiscuously
to all persons without a doctor'a diploma.
In fact , In Russia , Prussia and Denmark none
but licensed physicians can lawfully practice
hypnotism. Asldn from a variety of acci
dents which may result to the subject hyp
notized from the Ignorance of physiology In
the hypnotlzer there Is this general Injury
sustained , that even strong subjects fro
qucntly experimented upon contract a dis
position to bo readily thrown Into any of
the three morbid states of the mesmeric
trance , All these mates are real diseased
and are allied to hysteria , epilepsy and a
whole family pt nervoun troubles , any one
of which Is sufficient to make a patient very
miserable for life , and oven to lead him to
an early grave ,
" 2 , The uioralUt has itlll stronger ob
jections against the use of hypnotism , ex
cept when It Is used as a means to most
Important results. * Ho maintains that one
of tlic greatest evils thnt can befall a man
Is the weakening of hs ! will power ; tha !
leaves him a victim to the cravings of bin
lower appetites. Now the pregnant sur
render of one's will to the control of an
other Is said ( very reasonably It would occm )
to bring on a weakening of the will or self-
control. We see this exemplified In Ihc
habitual drunkard. He Icscs will power to
such an extent that he can scarcely keep
his most solemn promises or withstand the
slightest temptations. There Is n very
serious quccition asked by the moralist upon
another resemblance of an hypnotic sub
ject to a drunkard. He cslta whether any
man bus n right for the amusement perhaps
of the curious Icokeia-on to forfeit for
awhile his manhood , or the highest priv
ilege of his manhood his powers of Intel
lect or free will. They admit that we dose
so easily in our sleep. Uut then they argue
that sleep Is a necessity of our nature di
rectly Intended by thu Creator , a normal
p.irt uf human life. Dcsldca It Is n necca-
nary means for the renewal of our strength ,
nnd on the plea of iifcosslty the moralist
may admit the use of hypnotism when It
Is needed far the euro of bodily diseases.
But for the mere amusement of spectators
ho malntalro that It Is wrong for a man
thua to resign hlo human dignity , ao It would
be wrong for him to get drunk for the
amusement of lookerson. PtIII , In this latter
case the evil would be greater , for In drunk-
cnnras there Ls contained a lower dcgiada-
tlon , Inasmuch as the baser passions arc
there left without all control , and are apt
to become- exceedingly vile In their licen
tious condition. The hypnotic subject hcs
at leaat the mind and will cf the hypnotlzer
to direct him. Here , however , appears the
need of another caution , namely , that the
hypnotlzer ahould bo known to bo a vir
tuous man. else the evil that ho can dote
to his subject , as Is readily seen , may be
even worse than that resulting from a fit
of drunkenness. And as men who occupy
even respectable position.- ? may yet be vile
nt heart , It Is very desirable for prudcncu
K.ibn tn hnvii nn mm hvnnntzf ! > d 111 tirlvato
without the presence of a parent clcao rela
tive or some other party , who will BOO to
It that nothing improper bo suggested dur
ing the trance. For the scenes gojio through
during the hypnotic slate , though not re
membered by the subject upon his return to
consciousness , are apt to recur to him after
ward like a dream , showing that they have
left traces behind them.
UEGETS DANGEROUS CRAVINGS.
" 3. Legal writers "and lawyers have
serious charges agnlnst hypnotism. This
practice , they maintain , If publicly exhib
ited to old and you.ig , begets dangerous
cravings for senKitlonaT'experinientrt. TurnIng -
Ing away men's attention from the aobcr
realities and duties of social life , It prompta
them to pursue tile unnatural nnd ab
normal. It was this' craving that In less
enlightened ages led men.to , the oupcrstltlouii
practice of astrology and witchcraft. At
present It leads to mfch vagaries and un
christian and often I mm oral practices as are
connected with splrll4in | , faith curca.

experimentations which dlvo Into-the dark
rocrascs found In Uic J > orderand ! of the
preternatural. The atmosphere of that
region Is morally urihealthy and should be
barred off by the guardsris | of public cnoraM.
"The most common , pbjectlon of the legal
writers la directed ( valiH't the various
ci lined to which hypnotism IK apt to lead
men of criminal propensities. They point to
the statements of Dr. Luya , a rimpuctablo
authority on hypnotUm , who sayti ; 'A
patient under the Influence of hypnotism
can IIP made to swallow poison , to Inhale
noxlotK ) gases , Ho can bo led to make u
manual gift of property , even to sign a
promliAiary nolo or bill , or any kind of con
tract. ' Indeed , how can notaries or wlt-
ne&iea suspect any fraud when cvon the
doctor nt-ccU all his experience and all hlo
tltlll to avoid falling Into error. In criminal
matters a man under suggestion can bring
false accusations and earnestly maintain
that ho has taken part In some borrlblo
crime. "
