her favorite game Of nursing her dol

Now, I have never denied the Thera-
peutic value of suggestion within GER
tain limits; and ! have great faith in
the notion that we can to some extent
cure minor ailments by an adjusted
state of mind, and that thought does
to marked degree influence our ply
steal being. Might it not be possible
then that one highly trained to gener-
ate corrective thought could really in
fluence the mind of sufferer to the
distinct benefit of the latter? I was
very much, as you see, open to convic-
ton. So when Fay importuned me to
consult Mrs. Dougherty regarding my
dear mother who has long been the
victim of nervous malady which doc
tors pronounced incurable, it took lit
tie argument to induce me to see her.
Accordingly one afternoon I hied
me to her office, located by the way,

As she went into an inner room to

plenty Of time to indulge in my own
reflections. In my childhood my faith
err had wont to beguile the long win
ter evening by reading aloud, stories
Of the marvellous cures effected by the
Bal Shom Tow; breathlessly we listen
ed to the tales Of miracles wrought
through his wondrous piety and hu-
mility. Often, too, my father would pi-
lot me to the home Of some newly ar
rived "Rebbe" that he might bless me
and "mishpalell" for me, for I was
most delicate and "ziterig" child. !

which nature has made to introduce into the
world the first CLEANS Of reason, of free will
of industry, of something like morality. 1t is
a hypothesis which can be sustained, and
which was sustained in the first days of the

the insects, the great insects whose remains
we find in the depths of our coal mines. These
made automatically, without knowing why.
without instruction from immediately preced-

movements must originally have been expert

fection only by degrees, finally establishing
themselves in q perfection which became in
stinctive. When the human race is as old as
the race of the ants, who knows if all it's mo-
tlons will not also become automatic?
This seems absurd to you because you have
never been outside the civilized countries. But
If you knew how strongly one feels, in the
great African savannah that the land still
belongs to the insects. The work of men in
these regions is so rare, so poor and so awk-
ward-some miserable cabins of straw and
some imperceptible fields. All this is de-
formed, Irregular, ungeometrical And we
have for ages had the idea that intelligence is

issues from it fixed measure and proportion.

the reawalening of primitive instincts. the

Ferrier made a gesture of denial, which
surprised me. 1t was almost indignant.
