New York. Nov. 29.-The inventor
of the Coue movement" ic coming To
the United States ard will find clinics
already organized to welcome ham.
The first clinic has been held in the

at Nancy, France, had charge.
The theory is simplicity itself. All
necessary is to tell yourself that you
are getting better and better. Day
bv day. in every way, | am getting bet
ter and better" is the formula. Pro-
fessor Coue's theory is that if you tah
YOUR self anything, often enough, N
a loud clear voice, it will finally be
come a fact.
Mrs. Kirk, who said she was treat
cd bv Coue and cured Of lameness had
an opening day audience of perhaps
q hundred women. She told Of her eN-
periences with the professor. Then
she described the method by which he
is said to cure disease and nervous
disorders.
The first thing necessary is faith in
the value Of the treatment. But Dr..
Coue says that you will if You tell
yourself long enough you can acquire
faith.
The beauty of the belief is its SIM
plicjtv. Mrs. Kirk said, and the fact
that anyone can apply it to himself or
herself, once told how, with almost .
certainty of cure.
Then came the first demonstration.
