CHAPTER XXVII.HYPNOTIZING BY A ROTATING MIRROR.A mirror is sometimes used In hospitals whenit is desired to Hypnotize a large number of patientsat once.It consists of four small mirrors,fastened upon cross pieces which when set inmotion rapidly revolve, and is termed the rotarymirror.Some people, it is found, by gazing at this instrumentbecome Hypnotized at once, and byits means a whole roomful of people can be Hypnotizedin a very short space of time.Another curious little instrument which is saidto be now employed altogether for inducingHypnosis at the famous Charcot clinic in Paris,France, consists, I am told, of a plain blackrubber cylinder about four inches long and aninch and a half in diameter. In it is a little revolvingdisk, set flush witH the surface and aboutthe size of a silver quarter.This disk is divided into four segments, twoof which are dead black and two white, and itset into rapid motion by pressing a button connectedwith some coiled springs inside."5is
