CRAZE FOR HYPNOTISM
VIENNA’S DIVERSION. * POLICE TAKE MEASURES. LONDON, Juno 10. Hypnotism has become such a craze in Vienna (says the correspondent of the Daily Mail) that the police are taking severe measures to stop its practice by amateurs. A lawyer, complaining that his wife, a Hungarian countess, had been hypnotised by another lawyer from Buda Pest, thrashed him with a dog-whip. Another man learned hypnotism in order to cure his intended bride of a nervous complaint. Students of both sexes, and school children of all ages, are hypnotising each other, which often results in injury to health, apart from its moral dangers.
