Jta. for al fcy Be ton Drvg IX , . - Some Things You Want to Know Curing by Perause the people of this country work and live under high pressure, overtaxing their mental and physical resources, many of the leading physician and scientists of the United States have abandoned drugs aa the cure for the nervous wrecks pre sented to them for treatment It la be coming ths fashion among many of the most brilliant practitioners to treat such casea with neither medicine nor knife. The new remedy Is thought, or the use of sug gestion with the aid of hypnotism. There are physicians In New Tork. Waahlngton and other large cities who say to the ex hausted, nervous society women: "You do not need medicine. Tou must teach your brain and your nerves to rest. Tou must receive Into your mind the compelling mes sage that the only thing which can help you Is calm and repose. We can give It to you, but not by the use of medicines or drugs." To the business man, who has gone un der such pressure that he can control neither his nerves nor his brain, they give the same advice. Hypnotism, which was once regarded as witchcraft, and later aa an Instrument only for harm, has become a benign Influence on modem American life, a practical remedy for the distinctly American ailment of "nerves" and the mental troubles which follow. It has har monised many a shattered nervous system; It haa saved countless men snd women from Insane asylums, and It has been dem onstrated as a reliable cure of certain cases of drug and cigarette habits. A Washington physician, who la known as ons of ths pioneers In the movement to treat the ailments of the brain by the cur ative force of a healthy and normal mind, recently had a young man patient who was literally a nervous and physical wreck from the use of cigarettes. He told the pa tient that hypnotic suggestion was the only possible cure for him, and the young man agreed to try It. For five different treat ments he was hypnotized, and there was conveyed to his receptive mind by the phys ician this one thought: "Tou will never want to smoke another clragette; but, if you do, it will make you feel deathly sick, so sick that you will never try to smoke again." After the fifth treatment, the doc tor deolared the cigarette victim cured. The days went by without sny craving for cigarettes on the young roan's part. On the third day he attempted to smoke one, but was seised with such violent nausea that to this day he has never touohed another cigarette. This Is a serviceable example of the sim plicity of the cure which has been advanced for a nation which is nerve-ridden. That such ft remedy was sorely needed Is shown by tho fact that, while the death rate from contagious disease has dropped 49 per cent slnoe 18H0, the rate from kidney, heart and mental troubles has Increased S3 per cent The physicians say that the women of America, ss well as the men, live on their nerves, because they do not stop when their wearied bodlea cry out for rest. They see everybody else on the go, and they do not believe that they can afford to be left out. A New Tork physician la authority for the statement tnat the number of nervous collapses and breakdowns among society women has grown to an almost Incredible extent. A Washington doctor says that In addition to society leaders being broken In the fierce social competition, there are members of congress snd other government officials who break down under the strain. Both physicians agree that" much of the nervous trouble Is caused by the Increase in drinking and smoking in what Is known aa "high society." . The New Yorker on one occasion treated a society woman who was plainly the vic tim of Intoxicating drink. He asked her If she drank to excess, and she manifested In dignant surprise that he should ask the question. Finally, her explanation was that she drank nothing but absinthe, that she did this only when she needed It as a medicine, that shs frequently became ex hausted by her social duties, constant calls and late hours, and that absinthe wa's the only tonic which kept her on her feet. Upon his saying that she must discontinue the absinthe drinking, she professed her utter Inability to do so. After he had treated her by hypnotlo suggestion slie neither liked nor needed sbslnthe. She let It alone absolutely and In three months was again well and strong. This same doctor had the case of a broker who had formed the habit of but toning and unbuttoning the top button of his coat. It was merely an evidence that his nervousness was so great aa to need an outward expression of soma kind, but It had grown to such an extent as to make him appear ridiculous to his friends and buslnee associate. There was never a moment, when his hands were free, that he was not buttoning and unbuttoning the coat. Of course, whsn he became convinced that he could not stop the habit, he at that moment did lose control of the situation. It was then thst he sent to the physician for ths hypnotlo treatment. It required only ten treatments for him to become con vinced that the buttoning of his coat was entirely ridiculous and unnecessary. The conviction came to him by the doctor's saying to him over and over again, while SENTENCED BOY BREAKS AWAY Charles Filbert, Ordered to Kearney, Leaves Custody of Officers nnd Still Going. "I'd rather have him In the penitentiary than In Kearney," exclaimed Mrs. John Filbert to Judge Troup, presiding at a sec tion of Juvenile court. "Him" was Charles Filbert, a boy of 17, Indicted by the grand Jury for robbing a Union Paclfio box car. Charles Filbert himself preferred Kearney to the state pen itentiary, and as he proved a minute later, preferred freedom to either. Judge Troup committed him to Kearney and the boy left the court room In The Bee building in the custody of Probation Of ficer Carver and . F, Dennlsoq of the $1.00 to S5.00 00E8 Hypnotism. holding him in a hypnotic sleep: "Tou are no longer nervous. Tou do not feet the need of employing your hands uselessly. And you will know when you awake, that the habit la rldioulous." To the Washington pnyslclan there cam a woman who had been constantly on the go throughout the social season. Physically, she was so nervous that her hands trem bled, and her mental distress was acute. She had become possessed of the haunting Idea that she was always going to be late for the next particular function which she was to attend. That Idea got posses sion of her nerve-racked brain and never left her. It Is easy to conceive of the torture she suffered, and how she In creased them day by dayjn her unceasing rush and haste. When she first went to see the doctor, she could not sit still, but paced up and down the room while she told him of her trouble. He made her sit down, and, with a few passes over her eyes, put her to sleep, saying to her In a distinct, commanding voice: "You have lots of time for every thing you want to do. At any time that you feel you have too many engagements, you will break those which are too much for you. You will never hurry any mora. You will never run from your door to your motor car. You will in all things be calm and restful. - You have lots of time lots of time." This formula was re peated to her through eight or ten treat ments until, one afternoon, whan h was awakened, ah ssld carelessly: "I've no intention of going to the ' ball tonight. I've been doing too much, and I'm going to take my time hereafter." From that minute she was cured. Another case was that of a member of congress who had been through a hard fight all summer and autumn for hi nomination and election. It was his first term In ths house of representatives, and he had continued to work long hour every day after reaching Waahlngton. In hi state he was known as a speaker of un usual ability, and he had planned to make his orstorlal debut on the floor of the house during the consideration of ft cer tain bill. As the time came near for the delivery of his speech, which he had prepared and committed to memory, he lost confidence, and there came into his mind an awful dread of failure to Impress his hearer when he spoke. This dread grew upon him so that finally he was convinced he would fail. This fear was the direct result of his falling nerves and the high pressure under which' he had been work ing for eight months. Tie went to the physician a week before the time he had sat for his speech and, after five treat ments, his self-confidence returned. H made tha speech, which resulted In his gaining an enviable reputation as an orator. There Is in the popular mind an Impres sion that hypnotism 1 a harmful thing be cause It puts a parson' mind under the domination of another's thoughts and Ideas. It Is also believed by many that to submit to hypnotism Is to weaken .one's will power and fores of character. As ft matter of fact, it has been scientifically proved again and again that ths hypnotist cannot make the patient commit any act or entertain any thought contrary to that' person's ideas of morality or principle. Nor does hypnotism impair the will power.' Hypnotism can be, and sometimes Is, abused ' by the profes sional faker and operator, but. In the hands of a physician, 11 14 merely a cure for ailments that cannot"' be ' reached by other means. It Is the ar o Inducing sleep and then making the patient's mind so receptive that it wjll retain the healthful, helpful advice telegraphed to. It. by the words and thoughts of the physician., The only opportunity for hypnotism, to Impair the will power arises when ft person makes ft habit of submitting to the same operator for purposes of exhibition and freakish tricks. In this way,. In (he course of time, the person hypnotised does train his mind to ft certain extent to do whatever the hypnotist suggests. But Jn all the history of the art there are only two authentic cases where the hypnotists succeeded In using the persons hypnotized for criminal purposes. In both oases the persons had made ft habit of submitting to hypnotism by one operator for more than two years. The physicians who make n specialty of this hypnotic treatment do not as a rule continue it on any one person for more than a few weeks. If beneficial results do not come from it within a month, or six weeks at the most, it is generally regarded a Impossible to make the desired progress. A woman patient Is never hypnotized un less accompanied by a friend or member of her family. The great power of hypnotism over the physical functions of the ' body has been monstrated by a Pittsburg physician, who put ft patient Into a hypnotic sleep and told him that he would suffer no pain when his tooth was ' extracted. The tooth was pulled out snd the patient suf fered absolutely no pain at all. Whether It can ever be used instead of an anesthetlo In surgical operations of a grave character Is one of the problems of the art which will have to be worked out in future years. BY rBBDEBJO J.
