Another Triumph for Medical Skill.
(Per Press Association.) Adelaide, This Pay. An interesting operation under hypnotism, which turned out succesfully, was performed by a local doctor on a lady suffering from calcareous tumour in the breast. She refused to be under the influence of anaesthetics but consented to be hypnotised. For some weeks previous to the operation she was accordingly repeatedly hypnotised. The operation took thirty-five minutes, and the tumour was removed without a sign or pain or trouble. Towards the finish the woman laughed at some remarks made by the Doctor. When desmesmerised she displayed great curiosity as to what had been done, and could hardly believe the cause of pain had been removed, and walked out of the house unassisted, in excellent spirits.
