INDUCING PASSIVE SOMNAMBULISM TO ALLAY PAIN. If you are called upon to induce analgesia in a patient who is to under-go a painful surgical operation, at least two weeks beforehand the patient should be daily hypnotized, and it is well to repeat practically the same suggestions every day. These suggestions should take the following form: When your patient is in a pro-found sleep you should say to him: "I think it would please you to-day to take a trip into the country, and we will now go downstairs and enter the carriage which is waiting for us. We are now being driven out through the streets of the town a long distance into the fields; far away from all noise and bustle. We are now close to the edge of a magnificent forest. You see the trees in front of you; you hear the birds singing; you see the flowers growing at the edge of the forest, and the whole scene impresses you as one of wonderful beauty. We will get out here, and leave the carriage, and enjoy ourselves roaming through the forest. You will take this path to the left and I will take this one to the right, and we shall meet again later on. You will then tell me where you have been and what you have seen during your wanderings. You will feel a sense of great contentment and happiness within you, a feeling of freedom, as if you had at last cast away all suffering and pain, and were thoroughly enjoying yourself. Nothing will hurt you. You will feel absolutely no pain. You are incapable of feeling any pain whatever at this time."
