A young doctor in a London hospital hypnotised a boy whose body was covered in what he took to be a very bad case of warts. The warts began to disappear within a week. but to his astonishment he found that he had become the first doctor in the history of medicine to cure what was in fact an incurable skin disease-yet he could not repeat this with other patients.
