An alcoholic addict, actuated by

joys of life, is urged to think per-

lines like these:
whisky is unnecessary to my

structural changes in vital organs;
it is destroying my mentality and
bunting my moral sensibility.

W. the bad Mr.. Hyde He changed
IA VI himself back to the good DR.
Jekyll by the same means
Eminent scientists to-day are expert
menting with a reagent for which they
claim the power to perform the
miracle Of converting Mr.. Hyde into
DR.. Jekyll BY this mysterious power
they are making bad men good, weak
men powerful, mediocre men talented
And the beautiful thing about this
reagent. they say, is that every one
has it in his own possession, to com
mand at will. Only when he lacks the
will to use it, after learning the sim
pie processes of it's application, need
he employ others, skilled in the art
Of handling it, to administer it to him.
This is the claim now made for
hypnotic suggestion, that it is the one
reagent by which man can transform
himself into the ideal Of what in his
best moments he aspires to be.
For % years DR.. John d. Quacken-
hos, former professor of psychology in
Columbia university, has been study
ing and practicing the art of curing
and reforming persons by this process
He has treated 1000 cases by sugges
ton given during hypnotic sleep.
What he has accomplished, often
seeming to approach the miraculous,
and the exact processes by which he
and other skilled suggestionists oper
ate, DR.. Quackenbos is now to make
public in a book to be issued from
the press of Harper & Bros.
Dr. Quackenbos gives to the New
York Sunday World, in anticipation of
his forthcoming exposition. the revel-
alton of his discoveries and remark
able experiences.

hypnotic suggestion, as he has proved

A private ambassador representing

Harry Steenbock OF Madison, a
senior in the college of agriculture at

an interesting discovery while expert

bacillus seldom exceeds one per cent.
and the discovery has aroused much
interest. A French scientist recently
