The Herb of Prophecy. —The deputy of Oaxaca, Mr Prefect Carrera, has taken to the city of Mexico a plant that grows in Mexico, which the natives call “the herb of prophecy.” It is taken in various doses, and in a few moments a sleep is produced similar in all respects to, and we might say identical with, the hypnotic state—for the patient answers, with closed eyes, questions that are put to him, and is completely insensible. The pathologic state induced on whomsoever partakes of the., herb brings with it a kind of prophetic gift and doable sight. Furthermore, he loses his will, is completely under the control-of another to each adegrse that the sleeping person would leap from a balcony, shoot, or stab himself with a dagger, at any moment, if ordered to do so. On retnrning to himself he remem. hers nothing of what he has done. Meetings* &c. PORT NICHOLSON Y ACHT CLUB.
