LOVE WINS.

HYPNOTISM BEATEN. LONDON", September 14. The claim made by Dr. D. Buchanan, of Cambridge, before the British Association, that, by the use of hypnotism, he had enabled University students brilliantly to pass their exams, is only one glimpse of the wonders of modern hypnotism according to the "Evening News." Harley Street specialists are declared to be performing many marvels. Patients cannot, however, be induced to commit crime or act against their better nature. One love-sick maiden screamingly emerged from a seance intended to induce her to forsake her lover! The "Evening News" says that the specialists of Harley Street are turning jnto painters and musicians persons who, previously, had not painted or played. They are also curing, drugtakers, removing morbidity and restoring memories lost in accidents. A famous practitioner explains that it must not be imagined that hypnotism gives people knowledge which they] do not possess. It merely removes anxiety that was preventing clear: thinking, and which had left them helpless and frightened in the presence of examiners. Moreover, it removes excssive anxiety, which causes most of life's failures, and assists in the removal of the inferiority complex. The same practitioner points out that latent talent, such as composing music, can be developed under hypnotic influence.
