Our Own Bridie Murphy

SO YOU want to know about hypnotism and alcohol? Well, go ahead and ask me; I'm the guy who should know, I have studied everything from Mesmer, Braid, and Wetterstrand clear through the moderns. As a doctor I have used it in obstetrics; I even had one patient persuade me to use it to keep her on a diet so she could lose weight. (She didn't!) But you say you want to know something about Bridie McMurphy. Can you wait till I tell you something about me?
