BERNHEIM'S EXPERIMENT Bernheim was professor of medicine at Nancy, He relates the story of a man whose tongue was paralyzed. Every form of treatment was tried, with no success at all. Then one day the man's doctor announced that he had learned of a new instrument that was certain to relieve his problem. The doctor then put a pocket thermometer in the patient's mouth .

Nevertheless, he managed to answer it. His paralysis vanished from that hour on. The healing power of his mind had responded to h...
