Hypnotized His Man.

A demonstration of the application of hypnotism as an anaesthetic was made at the office of Dr. F. B. Coohrane, of Delphi, last Thursday afternoon, The patient was a young farmer, who Was put in a hypnotic condition by V. L. Rickets, of the Delphi Journal. The young man took a seat in the dentist’s chair and, after being placed under hypnotic influence, the dentist began to drill and chisel the man's teeth, working for thirty minutes. During the time there was not ! a sign from the patient that- he was conscious. A large cavity in a tooth was filled, but without the use of a rubber dam, as there was no flow of saliva. During the operation the young man followed suggestions from the dentist. The ladies of the Christian church , will give an entertainment at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Coen on McCoy Avenue on Friday, March 7, afternoon and evening. “A trip around the World” will be taken.
