HYPNOTISM CURES
RELIGIOUS MANIA
Hysterical Young Woman Saved
From Insane Asylum by
Psychic Experiment,

Young Artist Who Offers Seif for Ex

Transferred Malady by Means
of Hypnotism,
Paris.—A strange euro. of a psychic
nature, lias just boon achieved before
n number of doctors and a few experi
menters along the linos of psychiatry.
The patient was a young woman of
hysterical tendency, who for seven
years had been possessed with an anti
religious mania. During this time the
sight of a priest, the act of passing
near it church, the pronunciation of a
religious formula all have brought on
cither attacks of violence or spells of
dumbness. The association of ideas
which precipitate these crises were of
tlie most fantastic kind—it piece of
white paper suggested the host, ro
inaine salad turned her mind toward
the Homan church, a glass of char
treuse (tie brotherhood of Carthusian
monks. At those suggestions she
would tremble and faint. To nourish
n patient under these conditions daily
became more and more of a problem.
Takes Extreme Measures,
in I’aris Inst autumn the doctors
whom her husband consulted advised
him to incarcerate h -r. Deciding to
try everything else before resorting to
ibis extreme measLie, her husband, on
1lie ndvee of an eminent chemifh. final
ly put her under the treatment of a
well known specialist in psyoothernpy,
M. Mnngin. Six months of treatment,
consisting in psychic re-education,
either in a state of waking or by super
ficial hypnosis, gave only results of
short duration. The Easter festivities
exas|>cruted the patient to the point of
frenxy. This decided Mr. Mangin to
go to extreme measures. He began a
tireless search for a subject suitable
for the experiment of a transference
of the malady, with all its anguish and
strange manifestations. This was a
difficult task, for the subject must be
«>f such a delicate and perfect suggest
ibility UR to he aide later to be freed in
turn from these same miseries.
Mine Georgette Abel, a charming
young artist, offered herself for this
neticnte experiment with as muen
charity n* disinterestedness. On being
pit tn * |fi*j. the subject’s hand was
|iliiec<l in the hand of the afliieted
woman. In a few moments the subject
underwent an indescribable transfor
mation. She was seized with agoniz
ing emivnls "ns. The patient, however,
grasped the huml of the doctor, declar
ing v.iiti emotion that she was “liber
ated."
Malady Is Transferred.
On the order of M. Mangin, the lat
ter tittered a stream of words touch
ing the < linreli, words wbieh for seven
vears she bad refused to utler under
all kinds of comjiulsmn. In the uieun
wltile. the young artist threw herself
on the floor and attempted to heat tier
head against the wall, (Tying out in
tin same manner tn which the patient
was wont to do. The latter, passing
from words to acts, touched a holy
medal, handled a crucifix and made a
short prayer, till this quietly and with
out any hesitation, while the subject
moaned and threw herself about more
i and more.
Being assured of the complete “lih
1 eration” of the former sufferer, M.
i Mangin let the subject sleep while he
made suggestions of a soothing nature
to her. Then lie awakened her. Both
; women were in a perfectly tranquil
state. Since this time the young wife
goes every day to elutroh. She had a
long conversation witti a friend of the
