Tin ntiipnnl tn America some time ngd. 5,',' "When I say bluff I mean 'forceful .mental suggestion,' " he continued. "I , returned to America on the same trans port .with Colonel Pierce liallcy, who , had charge of the ncrvo cases nmong 'tho American soldiers. He told mo that the service of thousands of men in the Kngllsh nrmy had been lost because the Kngllsh medical department Iupcrslsted in treating shell-shock with jjFmcdlcal science instead of combating it jjruii ineir Knowledge ot psychology. Shell-shock begins in this way. The h Soldier has been under terrific strain for some tinie, and possibly without j sufficient nourishment. His mind Is in i iO kind of mess, when he happens near 7.an exploding shell. A splash of dirt , may sling him on the arm. In his cur ious mental state the sudden shock of i the thundering shell makes him think 'he's been hit. And he won't believe .otherwise. He Von't be able to move' ;that arm simply because he believes be .can't. ! Praises French Doctors J V'Now the very worst way to treat such a case is to let the patient believe 5.you think there's something really the j matter with his arm. If you do his , .uiraiai uuuuuiuu grows worse anu worse. - "The French doctors have developed f their treatment of shell-shock far be 2 yond any others. Suppose a shell- shocked pollu believes he can't use his s leg.. The French physicians go about .tVe treatment of it In this way: "They send that pollu to a station 'j.nrhere they sco to It that he hears all " sorts of rumors of the wonderful work such and such a doctor is doing with - shell-shocks. Perhaps a soldier breezes In and joyfully tells how he liad gone -j queer in the head and had only been with that wonderful doctor up in the mountains for a few days before he was well again. And another who couldn't move an arm before, rushes in with a story of how that remarkable doctor made his arm move in a day. I "Well,1 the pollu who couldn't move his leg sooh is stuffed so full of this sort of thing by jnen who moro than llkclt nre 'nlnnlji' with considerable theatrical ability that he's just burning Inside to see this wonderful doctor Him self. Ho asks to bo allowed to go to him. Looks Like Resort "The hospital doesn't look like a hospital at all. It's more like n pleas ure resort. The poilu Is taken into the office of the remarkable doctor, who immediately begins his little fame of bull throwing. He Insists that the pollu is just as fit as anybody In the room and that ho really should bo ashamed to stay away from the front on the shallow pretense that he cant move a leg, when his comrades are in the midst of danger, courageously fight ing. 'You can move your leg I Just walk across the room and seq If you can't V Of course, the pollu limps. n..f n(ii. n llfHi. more talk by the doc tor and after the pollu's mind is turned somewhat away from the sunject oi leg the poilu has to try to walk again. This time he walks n little better. "'Seel' the doctor yells, 'you can walk just as well as I enn, If you only wanted to. Here, meet Sergeant So-nnd-Sol" "And the doctor introduces the poilu to a "noncommissioned officer, who, without any more ado, makes a dive at the pollu's leg and begins forcing it to move. Sergeant Lends Aid " 'There!' from the doctor, 'the sergeant can move it for you. So could you move it, if you wnnted to bad enough!' And the sergeant con tinues to maul and work the leg up. and down, and shouts and finnlly pulls the frightened and excited poilu to his feet nud orders him to walk. And he walks, after a fashion. "About two days later, the pollu is three-quarters convinced by the prog ress he has already made that he can move his leg. Then the doctor pro nounces him cured, nnd tells him that he'll be permitted to stay nt the resort for a week to rest up for another go at the front. "Invariably, the shcllshocks were and arc being cured' by this sort of treatment," added the major. "I don't mean to suggest that they arc treated in this way in every case. But such is the general method, nnd I believe shellshock is no more n fearful prob lem with the French." ST.

CONWELL Clergyman Says It Is Unfair to Allow Wealthy to Hoard Liquor in Cellars Beer should be given to the poor man if the rid arc to have their cellars stocked with a plentiful supply of wines and .liquors, according to a sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. Russell II. Conwell last night at the Baptist Tem ple, Broad and Berks streets. To re strict ono class and not the other would be inconsistent, he continued. 0 "As a church wo believe in temper ance out nnd out," he said, "but we do not believe in allowing the rich man to fill his cellars for months and months ahead with all sorts of wines and liquors, while the poor man has his 1! per cent beer taken nwny from him. The whole thing Is wrong ; it is a great evil and will hurt the cause of tem perance by withholding from the work ingman such beer as la not intoxicating. "Remember, 1 emphasize the fact. li It is not intoxicating.' " he went on "I don't believe In intoxicating liquor soiu to men under nny circumstances unless used as a medicine. I havo been told thU wealthy have their cellnrs bearded with intoxicants for years to come. Christ's Church does not believe in giving rights to one man that are denied to another."
