A very important thing is the way
the milk goes into the child's stomach.
The bottles are so constructed that the
milk goes down too fast Every child
who sucks at the breast has to work
for what it gets. One OF the great
troubles IN artificial feeding Is. the
milk IS cascaded into the stomach and
Immediately cascaded back again. The
most OF the sick babies are made so By
some prepared stuff being cascaded
into their gt0machs IN enormous guam

A TRILBY IN REAL LIFE
Hypnotized Actress Won Fame In q
@ Single Night. M IA
REVELATION BY QUtACKENBoS
Columbia University, Professor As-
tonisbes Medical Associates by
Telling Them of His Success
Ia . Novel. DirsctiOn. .'. -

New York, Dec. 2O.-The New York
journal prints the following:
DIR. John Duncan Quackenbos, emeri.
tus professor Of psychology in Column
bia has astonished his associates Of the
Medico- Legal society by telling them
how a young actress bounded into
fame in single night under hypnotic
spell. That spell was put upon her by
DR.. Quackenbos himself.
1t is a case Of Trilby in real life, not
the drama Of Eomance1, not the trick
Of a charlatan, but a sober, actual &C.
complishment of latter day science.
This new Trilby in flesh and blood is
prominent in her profession. She is q
favorite of theater gOers. She is EN-.
ployed by n we'll known manager OF
theatrical shows, who knows how her
success was brought about
For obvious and good reasons the
name of this actress was withheld by
the professor in his accoun, of his
strange accomplishment.
Or. Quackenbos is one of the greatest
authorities on hypnotism in tie coun-
try. His standing as scientiit and a
medical man gives his declarations the
greatest weight, and his brethren in
the profession We're greatly impressed
by his remarkable disclosure.
Her First Appearance.
The first appearance on the sage Of
this actress, made star by hypnotic
suggestion, was made in a New York
theater in new play. The pressof the
city united in lauding her sIendid
work. Her audience called her ,efore
the curtain again and again in their
enthusiasm.
And among those who saw tho play
on that first night only her malager
and a few friends knew that the feel
ing and power and confidence sh dis
played were inspired by hypnotiosug-
gestion. .
Thrown into the hypnotic con(tion
before she appeared, her own persnal-
ity was for time submerged. Sh be-
came as clay in the hands of peter.
She was told what she could doand
what she must do. She was told olher
own powers and her ability to use
them. All fear and tinidity were tken
from her mind. and the subconscous
self that psychologists know is hiden
in each human being was brought ITO
control. ~.
When awakened, the inspiration sv.
en- remained with the actress. Uncn-
sciously her subconscious self appex-
ed in her work and directed her effort
Her acting was a complete success
and the public was at her feet in a
night u t w tI
