HC Deb 18 February 1895 vol 30 c970
SIR D. H. MACFARLANE (Argyll)

asked the Secretary of State to the Home Department whether his attention had been called to the public exhibition of hypnotism at the Royal Aquarium, where men and women were kept in a state of suspended animation, which, in the opinion of medical authorities, was attended with considerable risk to life?

MR. ASQUITH

No, Sir; my attention has not been called to it.

SIR D. H. MACFARLANE

Will the right hon. Gentleman now direct his attention to it?

MR. ASQUITH

Yes.
