Tae committee carried on n series of Investlratlona In regard to the power of hypnotism to Influen e the actions nnd deeds of people I nthe everyday walks of life. The first u p taken by the members of the committee was to master th science in ever? and tall, to that they might state from personal experience the good or evil this taranxc power might produce. They wrote the New York Itvetl ture of 8-lence of Rochester, N.
