I Friend Gradually Obtained Control Over I * "" ' kf rr?AKia fn I*a. Ill ill, lsuc is iiow ? Here His Sufferings. Reading, Penn. (Special).?Whoa George I A. Zlegler took up hypnotism as a-pastime, a few months ago, he had no idea it would make a slave of him, but he is in its grip, and the combined skill of half adozendoctors has been unable to free bim. Mr. Zlegler Is subject to periodical spasms of suoh violence that tea men are required to hold him down. These spasms come upon him suddenly, with little warning. His muscles seem endowed with supernatural strength. One man must stand oa his feet, another holds them, one sits on his chest, two hold each hand and several more his head, and still he makes them struggle for an hour and a half before there Is any relief. All this time ho is painfully cognizant of everything that goes on. His facial muscles twitch aad contort. The only drug that relieves him Is morphine, and he himself directs the doctor where to inject It. Mr. Ziegler's first "spell" occurred last October, while he was at work in a railroad machine shop. He was carried to a doc* tor's office, but nothing could be done for bfm exoept to administer morphine. Another time when he had an attack he was takea to the Homoeopathic Hospital, but I nothing oould be done for him there. Sometimes lie baa attacks every aay, auu then every week. The attaok always occurs at'exactly the game time o( day. After it was over do one would suspeot that the patient had been so violent. The cause of these attacks was for a time a puzzle. One doctor attributed tbem to typhoid fever. Some of the neighbors believed Zlegler bewitched and wanted to call in a witch doctor. The family is now convinced It is accuse of exsesslve hypnotism. Zlegler and several friends became Interested in hypnotism eight months ago. Several learned it, and Zlegler often allowed them to experlmont on him. Tiiey were unsuccessful at first, but one young man seemed more capable than the ro3t, He obtained gradual control over Ziegler, / and finally could make him do auytlilng tie ohose. Zlegler's relatives charged his ^friend with having brought the young maQ into J ""his condition, but he said he could not , 'o it. Then he said he would see to it Zlegler got no more "spells," and for ' weeks Ziegler was much better and "*i9 left him, bat a few day# ago out with greater violence than ->tist declares he ts unable him.' of the case U that en ill hl9 hypuotlo ' also, though in <>en some talk j "utno steps *3 about . .' ; %> i 4 f V '< ?. ?r. : :wJ \ *' . ? . tl t'' - i !

It is said that the two brothers always have noticed a telepathic sympathy existing between them, and Frank Fay Pratt has related a number of strange incidents of messages being .communicated. $everal years ago Frank went to England and on his re- \ torn his first act was to go to a long -,y distance telephone to inform his * brother.offhis safe arrival. After con aeotion had been made he found ma jbrothei Fred had been trying to reach (trim by telephone at the same time. \Ee Bays that the minute his brother idled'he became aware of a severing of >;H?e telepathic chain.
