ACTRESS MsDE A STAR BY
Under the Strange Spell She
Carried the Audience
by Storm==Famous
in a Night,

DR.. John D. Quackenbos, professor in
Columbia university, New York, aston
ished his associates of the Medico- Legal
society the other night by telling them
how a young actress bounded into fame
in single night under the hypnotic spell.
1t is the case Of a Trilby in real life, not
the trick of a charlatan, but sober, ac-
tual accomplishment of latterday science.
The new Trilby is favorite with thea
ter goers. Her first appearance on the
stage was made at a New York theater,
when, under the hypnotic spell, she car
ried the audience by storm; she was
called before the curtain again and again
at bound she was famous. The press
of the city united in applauding her splen
did work. This is only one of the many
marvels Of this wonderful power. The
American College Of Sciences Of Phifa
delphia has recently issued new book
by twenty eminent hypnotic specialists
which is being distributed free through
out the country for the purpose of educat-
ing and protecting the public. 1t is one
Of the most weird and fascinating works
ever written. 1t is richly illustrated with
the finest engravings, and Its vivid de-
scriptions of the practical uses and pos
sibilities of this marvellous mind-peWer
fill one with awe and amazement. Among
the many intensely interesting subjects
treated are: How to hypnotic instan
taneously; how to influence a person Sc
cretly without his knowledge; how to de-
velop Personal Magnetism and use it in
business, society, etc; power of the HUI
man will; how to cure the most obstinate
diseases and bad habits by magnetic
forces without drugs or medicines; how
to make people like you; how to win in
business, in society, in love; any one
can develop personal magnetism; rules
which will absolutely develop this power
within a short time; the transmission OF
thought; the development of soul power;
how to make business man listen to
! you when he would send any one else
away; how to sell man goods when he
does not want to buy; a legitimate way
to double your salary; how to keep peo-
pie from influencing you; hundreds Sc
cretly Influenced and controlled in body
and mind without their knowledge; how
to implant a suggestion or command in q
subjects mind that he will carry out a
| week, month or year hence, just as the
hypnotist may wish; how to hypnotic by
mail or by telephone; how to develop
within yourself that inward power that
force of character, which instantly gives
you a control over people without saying
a word or making a single gesture. For
the benefit of the public We wish to state
that if you will write the American Col
lege Of Sciences, Dept. 1OS j, 420 Walnut
! street, Philadelphia, Pa, copy of the
above book will be sent to you by mail
absolutely free of charge. The college
guarantees this offer to be absolutely
genuine, with no conditions attached. 1t
is proposed to give away several thou
sands OF copies of the book SO that the
public may learn the wonderful secrets
of this marvellous but much nisunder-
stood science.

Catarrh is an cid cold Even the
strongest, most athletic men are liable to

if neglected, is almost certain to cause
catarrh Of the head, which rapidly spreads
through the system, setting up catarrh of

would be prevented by a preventive as

Peruna is such remedy. II taken at
the first symptom Of catching cold it heals
the catarrhal condition before it becomes
established and makes impossible a

be neglected and result in catarrh, Pc
runa will cure, but it will take much

sary suffering.
