After some of tlm usual experiments with the piticiit, the maguctiscr said, “ I forbid you to drink wine during the next fortnight.” The patient was then woke up by the maguctiscr blowing in Ids face, and though In; is no longer in lii> presence, it is allirmcd that lie cannot carry a glass of wine to his lips. If the glass is filled with beer, water, or anything else, bis arm will obey him, and take it to his mouth, but if it contains wine bis muscles are paralysed.
