How To GIVE POST-HYPNOTIC SUGGESTIONS.

You will then pick up your hat and put it on and you will then immediately forget what you intended to do and will remain in your chair talking to me with your hat on. You will not know that T have suggested to you that you are to do this." At the appointed time, viz.: ten minutes after he has been awakened, this subject will suddenly look round for his hat, having found it he will immediately put it on his head and sit down in his chair again. If you question him, he will say in all sincerity that he has not moved from his chair and that his hat is not upon his head. If you take his hat off and show it to him he will be for a moment non-plussed, but recovering himself he will say `yes,' he intended to go home.
