...with a dramatic daring that astounded even his own corps of lawyers, he fiercely attacked the present regime. Cried he: "We live in a state of political abnormality without issue or hope.

Awake he does practically nothing of the sort. Hypnotism does, however, permit the operator to penetrate so deeply into the personality of his patient that no one dares play with the art. It is not yet a sharply denned science...
