It was all,
apparently, however, without result.
. . . . . . . .
It was some time after these events that Kennedy, reconstructing
what had happened, ran across, in a strange way which I need not
tire the reader by telling, a Dr. Haynes, head of the Hillside
Sanitarium for Women, whose story I shall relate substantially as
we received it from his own lips:
It must have been that same night that a distinguished visitor
drove up in a cab to our Hillside Sanitarium, rang the bell and
was admitted to my office. I might describe him as a moderately
tall, well-built man with a pleasing way about him. Chiefly
noticeable, it seems to me, were his mustache and bushy beard,
quite medical and foreign.
I am, by the way, the superintending physician, and that night I
was sitting with Dr. Thompson, my assistant, in the office
discussing a rather interesting case, when an attendant came in
with a card and handed it to me. It read simply, "Dr. Ludwig
Reinstrom, Coblenz."
"Here's that Dr. Reinstrom, Thompson, about whom my friend in
Germany wrote the other day," I remarked, nodding to the attendant
to admit Dr. Reinstrom.
I might explain that while I was abroad some time ago, I made a
particular study of the "Daemmerschlaf"--otherwise, the "twilight
sleep," at Freiburg where it was developed and at other places in
Germany where the subject had attracted great attention.
