Faith Healing
Dr C. Lloyd Tuckey gives in the Nineteenth Ceutury an interesting account of the plan of faith healing practised at Nancy by medical men, with excellent results in certain cases especially rheumatics and nervous affections. He believes that this system of healing by mesmerism and suggestion is destined to be of immense importance to humanity, and that it will considerably modify, the present practice of medicine. Treatment by suggestion has been tried on many devotets of vice — drunkards, victims of the opium passions, &c. - and with the happiest results. In» mates of the Paris Female Reformatories — women steeped in depravity, obscene of tongue, and as it seemed utterly incorrigible — have, it is stated by a course of this treatment, been transformed into decent members of society, and in some instances, have for years held, and deeeive to hold, positions of trust.
