The clinic is for the painless de-

Ars. Kirk pictures M. Coue as a

isppiness and contentment. A cigar

discarded this when he developed his

Gives No Private Treatments
His clinics are held in his own
simple little homo in Nancy. He will
rsyer see any one alone, but takes
large classes at time. Neither money
nor social position can give one special
privileges. Each patient has to share
IN the general instruction. In the first
place. he would never have time to
take his patients Individually; in the
second place, he thinks the instan-
taneous cures he performs have
psychological effect on the other sick
people. He works from twelve to four
teen hours day only managing to
squeeze IN a little time for gardening,
vach IS his favorite recreation. His
vie helps him in his work.
