On the European Continent it has been successfully applied in a great variety of cases; and Bernheim has shown that minor nervous troubles, insomnia, migraines, drunkenness, lighter cases of rheumatism, sexual and digestive disorders, together with a host of smaller temporary causes of pain corns, cricks in back and side, etc. may be cured or very materially alleviated by suggestions conveyed in the hypnotic state.
The river was all covered with ice; the little hares skipped over it; in the town everybody was bawling for water, and the pump handles were hard and fast; the Burgomaster had his nose tied up in brown paper and warm vinegar; the naughty people went about with cricks in their necks and colds in their heads; while every withered grass blade, every branch of tree and bush, and every pane in the windows, was covered with the beautiful, fantastic, glittering handiwork of CAPTAIN JACK FROST!
They shivered through endless galleries, getting 'cricks' in their necks staring at frescoes, and injuring their optic nerves poring over pictures so old that often nothing was visible but a mahogany-coloured leg, an oily face, or the dim outline of a green saint in a whirlwind of pink angels. They grubbed in catacombs and came up mouldy.
"I don't see the use of carrying two or three pints o' water along all day right past springs and over cricks," he remarked to his chum, as the two were examining the queer, cloth-covered cans. "We've got to take 'em, any way," answered his chum, resignedly, "It's regulations." On his entry into service a boy accepted everything without question when assured that it was "regulations."
"Them things," said Zeb Kendrick, sagely, "are all right for ponds or rivers or cricks where there ain't no tide nor sea runnin'. Float anywheres where there's a heavy dew, they say they will. But no darter of mine should go out past the flats in one of 'em if I had the say. It's too big a risk." "Yup; well, Zeb, you ain't got the say, I cal'late," observed Thoph Newcomb.
You know how I used to do it, out of regulation, with a slash like this " "Oh, Nicholas, you will be over the cliff! You have shown me how you used to do it, a thousand times but you had no cricks in your back then: and remember how brittle the chalk is." "The chalk may be brittle, but I am tough. I insist upon doing every thing as well as I did it forty years ago.
"Si," said Shorty, with a tinge of weariness in his tone, "they say it is about 18 miles from here to Shelbyville." "Somethin' like that," answered Si. "I think there are about three o' these cricks to every mile. Do you really suppose we'll be able to git there before our three years is up?" "All depends on the mules," answered Si cheerily.
"I'd go with you myself," she declared brightly, "if the misery in my back wasn't a little mite onery this mornin'. Racketing about in that contraption o' yours, I reckon, wouldn't be the best kind of liniment for cricks like mine." So only Mr. Gordon, Betty and Bob started for the fields.
Can it be possible that the brush which worthily painted Christ's agony, can be the same that descended to eternize redundant red fishwives, and call them goddesses? We have given ourselves cricks in the necks, staring up at the divine incompleteness of Cologne Cathedral.
"The belief in alligator-gar is a vulgar and absurd superstition," said the Lieutenant, breaking silence for the first time. "There, isn't anywhere in fresh water a fish capable of eating anything bigger than a bull-frog." "Hullo; did West Point learn you that?" said Shorty. "You know just about as much about it as you do about gittin' over cricks an' paddlin' a canoe.
