Most of these books, and many others dealing with psycho-therapy, are to be found in the library of the Psycho-Medical Society, and are available for members.

Students of contemporary hypnotism will find the subject exhaustively dealt with in the Revue de Psycho-therapie, a medical journal devoted to this branch of therapeutics, published monthly in Paris, under the able editorship of Dr. Edgar Berillon.*

In Germany there is the Zeitschrift fur Hypnotismus, edited by Dr. Oscar Vogt, published every month in Leipsic. There is no journal devoted to the subject in England, but hypnotic treatment is frequently referred to in the ordinary medical periodicals. Luminous articles have appeared in the Journal of Mental Science by Dr. Woods, late of Hoxton House Asylum, 1897, and in Brain by Dr. Milne Bramwell, 1897-99. I wrote a fairly exhaustive article in the Medical Annual for 1898. Since that date many articles and papers are to be found in current medical literature. Dr. Purves Stewart will have a most instructive article in the Medical Annual for 1914.

In the British Medical Journal for August 20,1898, there is a full report of an important discussion on hypnotism at the Edinburgh meeting of the association, and I think we may say that there is no longer any prejudice against hypnotism in the best medical circles.

A recent paper read before the New South Wales branch of the British Medical Association by the Hon. J. M. Creed, M.R.C.S., Member of the Legislative Council, published in the Australian Medical Gazette, January 20, 1899, entitled ' My Experience of Hypnotic Suggestion as a Therapeutic Agent,'gives an interesting account of successful hypnotic practice in the Antipodes.

* The first psycho-therapeutic clinic in England was inaugurated last year (1912) in Liverpool, ever in the forefront of progress. It is proving a great success, and new and commodious premises have been acquired at 25 and 27, Catherine Street. At the start the average attendance of patients was under twenty a week; now (July, 1913) it is over sixty. The institution is supported by voluntary sub-scriptions, and most of the patients are sent by doctors. Medical men and students are welcomed. There are three honorary physicians, one of whom attends daily - Dr. Betts Taplin, Dr. Albert Davis, and Dr. Sidney Wilkinson. We are about to open a similar clinic in London under good medical auspices and a competent staff of physicians. In previous editions 1 have had to refer medical men desirous of acquiring a practical knowledge of hypnotism to Dr. Berillon, who has a good public clinique at 49, Rue Saint-Andre-des-Arts, Paris, which is largely attended by French and foreign doctors. He extends a cordial welcome to English medical men who wish to learn something of the practical use of hypnotism, and I strongly advise my confreres to visit this flourishing institution.

It is conducted on the most scientific lines by Dr. Berillon, Dr. Farez, and an able staff.
