HYPNOTISM. What an Adept Says of Itf Mysteries. The Subject Must Believe He Is Losing His Will Power. “Hypnotism” as a phenomenon is not a fraud but a fact,” said I’rofessoi Sandwich. “It is produced by flu subject operated upon and not. by the hypnotist. The subject, in ollie words, liypnofizes himself. A hyp¬ notist has no occult, mysterious powei which other people do not possess. Any one can hypnotize some people, no <>ne can liynolize others. The whole inniter is purely subjective. “Hypnotism begins and ends with the person hypnotized. T he sole work of the hypnotist is to deceive the per¬ son to bc hypnotized. The subject must bc induced to believe that ho F actually losing hi* Will power through the work of the operator. That is ah there is to it. When 1 try to mesmer¬ ize n patient the only problem befon me is this; How can I convince this person that iie is no longer a fre< agent? How can I g< t him to believ that be can no longer control bis ac¬ tions? “There are various ways to go about (In'., and dilb ient methods wih succeed lies! with different subjects. (,'ertafn conditions in the subject are absolutely nccessavy, however, N< man can be hypnotized against hi. will. Ii is not necessary that he be a believer in hypnotism; an honest seep tie makes sv tir-V-iTitos subject. Rut the subject must bo open to conviction, because my siicccsh depends entireii up in Ids ulliniulo belief in the far that hypnotism exist* and I hit he him¬ self is to heroine niy prisoner. “No man can hypnotize, a subject who sets his mind doggedly againsi being hypnotized, A goed operator, however, can very easily pick out the best subjects (n operate upon. Geuer ally speaking persons of nervous tem¬ peraments are most easily influenced. Having a number of volunteers upon the platform, i soon weed out those whom I think least likely lo prove good subjects, uiul then commence > work upon the others. “I do not always pursue tho same eonrse Very frequently 1 follow this plan: 1 Insist upon silence in the room— absolute quiet. The subjects ivisii chandelier. l‘#o are instructed to close their eyes and to shut them close —to press the eyelids together hard. 1 ! nder such conditions a minute seem* ten minutes to the subject*. I slow ly walk about them, occasionally touch¬ ing their heads with my hands, The subjects are hypnotizing themselves. After holding their eyes el sely stub for half a minute the sole thought of all is, ‘Well, what >s all this coming to in the end?’ Then they commence to w atch for the sligh est new sensation of any kind whatever. “lf they experience anything new il is sot dow n a* the first manifestation of mysterious hypnotic power. At t)ii» stage 1 have frequently scared subjects into , ;,;,„ l „ct 0 surrender bv making quick pa-ses with my hand' before their closed eyes. My hand using bet ween tho light and the patient, shadows dance about over his eyelids, and the active imagination doe* the rest. ••Af or holding tho eyelids tightly elosed for a minute they always have a tendency to stick together w hen the first attempt i* made to open the eyes. I increase this by placing my hands above the subject’s ryes and pulling' the acalp backward from the eyes, at the same time warning him to keep them closed. My action of itself Would open bis eyes, sml to keep hi eyes used he exerts considerable force. Then 1 suddenly release in; hold, his eyeUds become fairly glued together, and l aay sharply, ‘Youcan't ojieti your eyes!’ lie make* one spns ntodic attempt to do it and gives up completely. • •Sometime* he succeed* in slowly opening his eves, but Iwtore lie has time to see that l am wrong l say . •Now open them,' aud they fly wide open. 1 have only to aay quietly •Pretty near that time; now close your eye* again. Then the whole scheme is worked again, and it gi net »llv wins. If not I try someone else, But af er tlie subject once give* up he is completely at your mercy. All you have to do i» to aet a* if you were thoruttghly in vainest, and that never ' had the slightest doubt about veur power to control his actions aulutely. ••You can make him do any tiling you desire—sing, dative. whistF, V> I tnaud on his head—but go lo him t next day ami leli hitnju'i iv hat 1 a teilii g wu now. and an army of !,yp noiisis could not hypnotize him again ; THE DEMOCRAT, CRAWF 0RDV1LLE, GEORGIA. hi- ha* *i imply deceived himself.
