The directions are these: Place the rson to be operated on naturally in a 0 air. With your left hand suspend by a string. about a foot from the eyes. some email ob ect.' a dark marble. or a bright steel all. or a diamondâ€"it matters not what. though something bright is. perhaps. pre- ferable. Direct the subject to fasten his eyes and concentre his attention on the Object. 8 wly raise your leit ,hsnd until ‘ths 'object s as far above the eyes of the patient as is compatible with his gazing steadily at it. Watch his eyes. At first you will see the pupils ntract. but after afew seconds they wi ,expand rapidly. When they are at the'pcint of greatest expansion. move the first two fingers of your right hand from the object directly toward the eyes. the fingers being sepa- rated. forklike. to embrace both eyes. As the fingers approach the eyes Will close. and the subject will be unable to open them. After a quarter of a minute the subject willbe thoroughly under control. so that the operator may make him believe what- ever he tells him. Left quiet, the subject mil sink into a profound torpor. during which his care may be pierced, his cheeks sewed to his nose, and even a finger out off without pain. To arouse himâ€"and this is an im- portant stepâ€"wind. either froma hand- bellows or a fan. should be directed against his eyes. or else his eyes should be tickled with a feather. The rationale of the method is simple. The fixed stare cf the subject fatigues his retinal nerves. and. when the operator's fingers ap reach. the eyelids close. as eyelids always owhen the eyes are threatened. But the fatigue of the nerves has produced muscular fatigue aswell. transient paralysis in the eyelids has resulted. and they cannot be opened. The eyes being then closed. the delicate frontal nerves being exhausted, and the mind made vacant by monotonous atten- tion to one object. the patient is in a condi- tion to fall asleep. and he does fall asleep. He is now ready to dream. The ony thing remaining to do is to make him dream. But how is this to be efim‘ited ? Dreaming, as has long been determined. is the result of external suggestion. Dr. Gregory,’tc illus~ tra . having been thinking'of Vesuvius. web to bed with a jug of hot water at his feet and dreamed that he was climbing the sides of the burning mountain. Dr. Reid read a book on the Indians. ut a blister to his head on retiring and t ought in his sleep that hs-was being scalped. Both the dreams. as allcthers are. were caused by suggestions ofiered externally. These sug- gestions. being received while the directing power. the common sense of the mind. was in :abeyance owing to sleep. were inter- preted very erroneously. yet aooordingto plain laws of association. The hot water in the one case called up the previous sub- jeot of thought. Vesuvius; the stinging bliste'r in the other. the equally stinging scalping-lmife. It is noweasy tosee how the sleeping subject maybe made towcept as truth whatever he is told. The use of character is to be a shield against oalumny. â€"Burke. Rev.
