ware of these men. It is fong to give the control of one‘s mind to such a man. _ Hypuotisem is s0t & gift,nor does it require even\special atelligence to practice. But it is a ‘ & except in the hands of a nerve apeci It is a wonderful power rfom which we are wonderfully â€"proâ€" > for no man can mesmerize one who does not wish to be mesmerised. The fact is that the subject has to do folly half the work. Itis dificult and sometimes impossibe to mesmerise a person of little intelligence, while an educated person has the power of subâ€" jeoting himself very quickly. The mesâ€" merist in doing his work, first tells the subject to relax all his muscles, then he tells him to try to do whatâ€" ever he tells him to do. Then he gets him to do some small thinys, while the «man, in a dilemma as to whether he «means that he has to do it orâ€" whether he is asking him to do it, does it, and then wonders _ whether be did it wilâ€" tully or whether he is not under an inâ€" fluence stronger than himself. Once this state of doubt is reached he has fallen. ‘The mesmerist repeats this Bame déceptive trick again, and the man becomes more confirmed in his â€" doubt of himself. Then the mesmerist becomes less equivocal and the man is his subject, and can be made *o do _ almost _ anything. â€" He may be told that he cannot lift his hand and it becpmes impossible. Givâ€" en a piece of bread and told it is candy, he.will suck it. Told he cannot rememâ€" ber his name and it is forgotten. From @ll this, the man takes no physical inâ€" jury; © but here is the mischief; after the mesmerist has freed the subject, and he has been his own man for halt an hour or an hour, the mesmerist can at a glance have him under power again if he be a good subject. The man who has once once given himself over to a mesmerist is never again strong to resist. He has lost confidence in hbis ability to resist. At the British Congress of Tuberâ€" @ulosis at London the other day the following resolutions were adopted:â€" 1. Legislation against expectoration in â€"public places. ©2, Notification of health authorities of phthisis. " 3. The use of pocket spitoons. â€" 4. Health office should continue every effort to prevent the spread of tuberculosis through meat and milk. 5. As doubts concerning buman imâ€" munity from bovine tuberculosis raised by Dr Koch were of vital importance to the public health and the agricu;â€" tural interest of the country, the Govâ€" ernment should immediately institute rigid inquiry into the identity of humun and bovine tubereulosis. 6. Appointment of an international Committee to collect evidence, publish literature and recommend means tor the prevention of tuberculosis was adâ€" Â¥ocated.

All dentists are agreed that their operations are of little use (that is operations of a conservative nature) unless the subjects of the operations do their part to prevent the conditions which caused the disease in the first Very few parents would, (I think), disapprove of the action of a teacher in sending a pupil home to wash his hands, or neck or face, but I regret to belieye that many paronts would disâ€" approve of such action if the filth bapâ€" pened to be wnseen, as in the mouth. A good citizen is not likely to be J)ro- duced by a system which would allow adults to enter on life‘s duties without a practical knowledgo of the hygiene of those organs which without t.b?: knowledge are often the source, Burus says, of "The hell of a‘ diseases". I venture to say that not 25 per cent. of the parents in Cavada take that care of the teeth which an avernge dentist would approve of. _ I am persuaded I will be endorsed in the above stateâ€" ment by other dentists. ‘Therefore, I beg to put a very portinent question again "If the care of their teeth is to be left to those parents included in the 75 per gent. is it likely to be well atâ€" tended to?
