Last week, in the British Medical Journal, Dr. Sinclair-Gieben reported the dramatic result: "The wheezing stopped instantaneously. Hypnosis was reinforced on alternate days for ten days, and for the first time in years the patient was able to sleep throughout the night without any wheezing. At the end of ten days he became elated ... and danced a jig in front of the ward patients to illustrate...
