VOISIN, and as given by MASON.
"In the summer of 1884, there was at the Salpetriere a young woman of a deplorable type, Jeanne S----, who was a criminal lunatic, filthy, violent, and with a life history of impurity and crime.

M.Auguste Voisin, one of the physicians of the staff, undertook to hypnotize her, May 31.

At that time she was so violent that she could only be kept quiet by a straight-jacket and the constant cold douche to her head.

She would not look at M.Voisin, but raved and spat at him.

He persisted, kept his face near and opposite to hers, and his eyes following hers constantly.
