If you succeed in getting the\\nright kind of a subject he will not resist you and all that is neces-\\nsary is to have him sit down in a chair, then take a position in front\\nof and very near him. Now ask him to look at you and you look\\nhim sharply in the face a few moments and make a few passes in\\nfront of his face but do not take your eyes off his. Tell him he is\\ngetting sleepy and that his eyes are heavy and very heavy and\\nthat he cannot hold them open. Then say, your eyes are closing,\\nclosing, closing now your eyes are nearly closed close your eyes\\nand yon will be asleep. Say tfie last words just as though you\\nmeant them but in a kind manner and you will be surprised to find\\nyour subject in the land of dreams and thoroughly hypnotized.\\nThis is a very important point. Get a good start and then keep\\nclimbing. Be sure and get, if possible, a subject that has been\\nunder the influence. Give him to understand that you are thor-\\noughly competent to hypnotize him and his imagination will do the\\nrest. Should you be unable to get a subject that has been under\\nthe influence before I would advise you to get a girl or boy between\\ntwelve and twenty years of age. One with a bright, full, plump\\neye is the best, but then any will do. Let the subject be a stranger\\nif possible, one that would in your judgment be easy and willing;\\nnot one that is stubborn or know-it-all, or a smart-alex who wants\\nto see if he can outdo you, but one who will be willing to obey all\\nyour suggestions.

If you take these precautions in your\\nfirst attempt you will be well repaid by it. If you allow noise and\\nmoving about the room it will be apt to attract your attention and\\nyour subject will lose confidence in you and you will make a failure.\\nBe careful at first and when you have things going your way you\\nwill have no trouble in hypnotizing.

Place the subject in a\\nchair or on a lounge and tell him to close his eyes; that his mind\\nis a blank and he cannot think of anything and to keep his eyes\\nclosed until ycu return and then leave him alone a few minutes.\\nWhen you return to him tell him he cannot open his eyes. If he\\nfails to do so then you may give him any suggestion you wish.\\nIt is best to give the suggestion that he is asleep and cannot\\nawake until you wake him.\\nThe Mesmeric Method is very simple. You simply com-\\nmand the subject to close his eyes while you make passes over his\\nbody. Commencing at his head with open hands pass them down-\\nward toward his feett then close the hands and bring them back\\nagain. You need not make the passes the full length of his body\\nunless the subject is lying down. Make the suggestion at the same\\ntime that he is going to sleep; that he is getting sleepy, very\\nsleepy. Always suit the suggestion to your subject by watching\\nhim closely. You can learn what to say and how and when to say\\nit. You can hypnotize any number at the same time with this\\nmethod. To do this you should have a few subjects present whom\\nyou have had under your influence before, and who, of course, will\\nimmediately succumb to your influence which will have the desired\\neffect on the imagination of the other subjects. Now you make a\\nfew passes before the subjects and suggest sleep and you will find\\nthat they readily yield to your influence and pass into hypnosis.", "height": "3909", "width": "2620", "jp2-path": "proftccolesjrcom00cole_0038.jp2"}, "39": {"fulltext": "35\\nThe Confident Method is a very good one.

In this degree the sub\\nject will become rigid, or at least the muscles will draw, and if\\nyou suggest to him that he is rigid he will become rigid, In this\\nstage the subject cannot move or speak if you suggest that he is\\nrigid. You should be careful not to com mand him to move or\\nspeak for he cannot until he either goes deeper or comes back a\\ndegree, and while the subject can move very quickly from one\\ndegree to another you should not suggest something he cannot do\\nin this degree, for if he goes into the fourth he will awake and you\\nw T ill have trouble in carrying him past the fourth degree. Be care-\\nful with the subject when you want to carry him down through all\\nsix degrees. In this degree he will be very strong. If you place\\nhis head on a chair and his feet on another you can suggest to him\\nthat he can hold up five hundred pounds or more and he will be\\nable to do so, but always be careful with the subject in this degree\\nand do not allow him to stay in it very long, and never try any ex-\\nperiment if you. want to carry him into the fourth degree.\\nFourth Degree The Cloudy or Mind Reading Stage. In this\\nstage the subject will complain of it being dark and some of them\\nwill tell you it is very dark. In this stage the subject is very\\neasy awakened and you must be very careful and allow no one to\\nbother him while in this stage and you must take every care of\\nhim the first time you get him in this stage for if you let him break\\naway the first time you put him in the Cloudy Stage it will be\\nvery hard to ever carry him through it into the fifth stage, but if\\nyou see he is going to awake suggest to him that he come back in-\\nstead of going deeper and bring him back through all the stages\\nand save him from being awakened in the fourth. Let him remain\\nawake for awhile and then try him again. By doing this you may\\nsucceed where you would fail if you tried to force him down into\\nthe fifth.

Tbis celebrated\\nman studied medicine and earned the title of doctor. About 1750\\nthis young doctor came in contact with Father Hehl, who cured\\ndisease without medicine.

One day Dr. Mesmer had occasion to bleed\\na patient and after the patient had bled awhile he accidentally\\npassed his hand over the cicatrix, or lance puncture, and he ob-\\nserved that his hand produced the same effect which had hitherto\\nbeen produced by Hehl s magnets. This put the doctor to think-\\ning and in a short time he was having extraordinary success. He\\nleft his home and traveled through Germany, Smitz rland, France\\nand England and cured people by the thousands. While traveling\\nhe taught some few this great art, and the people called it mes-\\nmerism, and it is still known as mesmerism. This celebrated man\\nwould mesmerize his subjects and cure them, but it took him snm\u00c2\u00abv\\ntime to do it. His method was slow. He worked slow and he\\nnever made his subject do anything funny, but he cured them of\\ntheir diseases. While in France he was ordered hy Louis XVI to\\nleave the country and not return, and mesmerism was suppressed\\nfor awhile in that country. Still his doctrine buined a steady and\\nbrilliant flame in Prussia. The King of Prussia had it practiced\\nin his domain and great good was accomplished.\\nWhile Dr. Mesmer was in France he taught a man by the name\\nof M. LaFontaine, who went to England and gave lectures on mes-\\nmerism and Dr. Baird became interested in this great art and com\\nmenced to study it, He advanced very fast and was soon doing\\nmore, it seems, than Dr. Mesmer himself. He improved so fast\\nand did so much more than Mesmer that his name soon became\\nfamous throughout his own country. He declared that this great\\nart should be called by some name and he named it Hypnotism.\\nHe said Mesmer was a man and his name was not appropriate for\\nthis great science or art, but as Dr. Baird did not travel as much\\nas Dr. Mesmer the name of mesmerism was scattered all over the\\nworld and hypnotism was not. Dr. Baird began his work in 1841\\nand wrote a book on his work which he called Hypnology Sleep,\\nand the science is still growing very fast all over the world.\\nI will now give you Dr. Baird s mode of producing sleep.\\nTake any bright object (he generally used his lance case) between\\nthe thumb and fore and middle tingers of the left hand; hold it\\nfrom eight to fifteen inches from the eyes in such a position above\\nthe forehead as may be necessary to produce the greatest possible\\nstrain on the eyes and eyelids and at the same time enable the", "height": "3909", "width": "2620", "jp2-path": "proftccolesjrcom00cole_0081.jp2"}, "82": {"fulltext": "78\\npatient to maintain a steady, fixed stare at the object. The patient\\nmust me made to understand that he must keep his eyes fixed on\\nthe object. It will be observed thai; owing to the continual adjust-\\nment of the eyes the pupils will at first be contracted but will\\nshortly begin to dilate. After having done so to a considerable\\nextent and have assumed a wavy position, if the fore and middle\\nfingers of the right hand, extended and a little sepaiated, are car-\\nried from the object toward the eyes most likely the eyelids will\\nclose involuntarily with a vibratory motion. If this is not the case,\\nor the patient allows the eyes to move, desire him to begin again,\\ngiving him to understand that he is to allow the eyelids to close\\nwhen the fingers are again carried to the eyes, but that they must\\nbe kept in the same position, and the mind riveted to the one idea\\nof the object held above the eyes.\\nHere we find, although Dr. Baird avows that the influence of a\\nsecond person is not necessary, he exercises his own will to a\\nmarked degree. He directs the attention of the patient, gives him\\nto understand he must do something, in this instance he must gaze\\nat a bright object so as to weary the optic nerves and exhaust the\\nmuscles of the eyes. Here the will of the operator is exercised to\\na large degree. His method induces inhibition of the nerve cen-\\nters that govern the optic nerves. The control obtained is far\\nsuperior to the ordinaary mesmeric when suggestion is used and\\ninferior when suggestion is not used. Dr. Baird, like a great\\nmany men and women, had the courage of his convictions, and\\ntherefore just such a person as was likely to make a successful\\noperator, began to investigate the subject with the view and inten-\\ntion of exposing what he thought to be a swindle.

If you have a large room and\\ngood sized audience and see that you will have room for eight or\\nten subjects, procure some chairs and place them in a half circle,\\nor straight, as the occasion way afford. Then ask those who would\\nlike to be hypnotized to come an*i take these chairs, and if you\\nsucceed in getting the chairs filled without coaxing you are all", "height": "3909", "width": "2620", "jp2-path": "proftccolesjrcom00cole_0089.jp2"}, "90": {"fulltext": "-86-\\nright. t o not coax too much. I always have two or three paities\\nin the audience whom I have had under my influence and 1 manage\\nto see them befere the time comes for the entertainment and secure\\ntheir services for the evening. When I get ready and call for vol-\\nunteers these persons will start first and this makes it easy to get\\nthe required number, and those you have once had under your\\ncontrol will assist you in putting the others to sleep or under the\\nhypnotic influence. 1 do not allow these good subjects, or those\\nI have had under my influence, to sit together, hut put rome one\\nbetween them. By doing this you can succeed with ease. I take\\nin the situation and use my own judgment as to how to begin. I\\nsometimes tell them to join hands and hold tight uutil I count\\nfive and then they cannot let loose. 1 then count, one two three\\nfour five. When I say five I speak quick and say, yon cannot\\nturn loose your hands. I have the subject to look at me all of this\\ntime. I only allow their hands to stick a few moments and then\\nI say, all right, now you can let loose.\\nYou can go on with this kind of exercise until you can make\\nthem do almost anything you wish. You may say, straighten\\nyour arm out and when I count five you connot take it down, and\\nwhen they fail you may say, now you can take it down. Then tell\\nthem to stand up and that they cannot lift their feet; that they aie\\nstuck to the floor and they cannot move. You may suggest to\\nthem that they cannot sit down, or that they cannot bend, their\\nknees, but can walk stiff-leg^pd about the room. This will impress\\nthe audience that you understand your business. Those yon can-\\nnot handle in this way may keep their seats during these experi-\\nments, Then tell all of them to take their seats. Take your place\\nin front of them and say. now I am going to put you all to sleep,\\nbut I will not hurt you. Now look at me, all of you, at once. Now\\nrelax. Raise your right hand and point at them and say, you aie\\ngetting sleepy. Go through the formula to suit yourself and when\\nyou get them to sleep you can suggest anything you desire. Do\\nnot prolong the entertainment so as to worry the audience. Your\\nentertainment had better be a little short than to worry the audi-\\nence, This rule holds good at all times. Remember it and never\\nworry your audience.\\nIn a public entertainment you should take every precaution to", "height": "3909", "width": "2620", "jp2-path": "proftccolesjrcom00cole_0090.jp2"}, "91": {"fulltext": "8?\\navoid making a failure. When traveling and giving public exhi-\\nbitions I always carry from two to five subjects with me. I gen-\\nerally use one on the stage while I have the others to take seats in\\nthe audience. When I reach a town [find out from the manager\\nof the opera house some young meti whom I could induce to come\\non the stage. I got them in the opera bouse in the evening before\\ntime f or the entertainment and see if I can handle them and if so\\nI secure their services if I have to pay them to come on the stage.\\nBy doing this I generally secure from two to five in the town where\\nthe exhibition is to be giveu to take part in the exhibition. When\\nI call for volunteers of course I have no trouble in securing from\\nsix to ten subjects from the audience. I meet them when they\\ncome on the stage and take them by the right hand and place my\\nleft hand on the back of the head and say, look at me. I then let\\nloose with my right band and place it on the chin and push his\\nhead back quickly and say, look me straight in the eyes. All\\nright, you will make a good subject; take a seat. Should I secure\\nmore subjects than I want I seat as many as possible on the stage\\nand then exc*use the rest, but I am always careful to seat my subject\\nand those I have tried in the evening I then say, now T want you\\nto look straight at me and I will put all of you to sleep. I then\\ncommence at one end of the line and tell them they are all getting\\nsleepy, or I take my stand in front aud near the center of the line,\\nraise my hands and commence by telling them they are getting\\nsleepy, and of course my subject who travels with me becomes\\nsleepy ve\u00c2\u00bby quick, and those I have secure! in ihe evening become\\nsleepy and soon drop into the hypnotic sleep. If there are any\\nmore good subjects on the s-tage they g to f-b-ep at once, and if\\nthere are any hard subjects you can influence them by the influ-\\nence of those who fall asleep all around them and thereby catch\\nthem off their guard and successfully hypnotize them.

There was another operator present, one of my students,\\nwho was amusing the audience, and while he was performing I\\ndecided to see if 1 could handle her and I concentrated my mind\\non her.
