reading in the November Cosmopolitan Magazine most
unusual article from the of Harvey oHggns entitled
~ It rather difficult thing to discover in this intensely
Interesting story where fact ends and fiction begins There
iepressble inclination to believe that it is pretty
nearly all fact and that the fiction consists largely in the
substitution of names
- Its reading leaves the impression that Dr. < who
relates his experiences is IN truth real live physician and
that the stories which he tells far from imaginary
rectals. .'
No fact more soundy established than that each one
Of us has two minds
The normal, everyday mind that we think we think

The other, our subnormal mind which we give little
thought which in nowse understand and Of the influence
Of which we virtually unconscious

not able to recall them.
And then unexpectedly they come to the surface
and you remember them to the last detail
where were those facts when you searching for

s1ons we have practically all to learn?
What Is that happens when one person falls in love
with another at first sight it is commonly expressed
compulsiyey DR. K and the psychologists call it?

II Is just as lnexplcable the sudden dislike which
sometimes results from the meeting of two persons
who have before each other and have no
able foundation for either friendship or enmity
Mr. Higgins has transcribed from the lips of DR. a
variety Of experiences with patients and in this particular
