Huit observations d’accouchement sans douleur sous l’influence de l’hypnotisme. By _Dr. Marie Dobrovosky_. REVUE BIBLIOGRAPHIQUE. Dr. Fraipont terminates his interesting memoir with the remark that save under very exceptional circumstances, as when the subject is very sensitive or has before suffered a sort of trance, hypnotism can scarcely have any practical importance in accouchment. M. Delbœuf refers in a postscript to the case of a patient described in his writings by the initial J..., and states that her accouchment confirms him in his view of the rôle of the brain, which he regards as a moderating and inhibiting organ, and consequently in the opinion expressed by him in the _Revue Philosophique_ as to the essence of freedom, which he regards as having an arresting and not an inciting effect. MM. de la Fourette and Cathelineau confirm the conclusion drawn from researches made by them for Professor Charcot, that nutrition is affected during the hypnotic sleep, and therefore that hypnotism is a pathological condition.
