Patients Drugged With Water
To Proue Autosuggestion
DR.. COue Discovered Power of Imagi,,a-
ton as Pharmacist, Says One of His
Pupils, Describing Clinic.

! ism and reply. II don't believe I am
any better; / have never beard any
patient give utterance to such
statement in NJ. Coue's clinics
Here is a woman who has had a
hernia and the aperture has never
healed. She is told that a cure is
certain but very slow. The woman
sitting next to her has an acute form
or dizziness and is possessed with a
mania for throwing herself from any
height which she happens to be.
Coue assures her that she will leave
the room a cured woman. There sits
chemist, who through loss of
memory and inability to give decis-
has had to resign from his situation
as the head of laboratory in a large
manufacturing plant. He has at
I tended two clinics and last night
slept for the first time in months.
Lady B has come from England
to find relieft from insomnia and
meuresthenia and is improving
rapidly. Next to her sits an English
ofhcer. wounded in the war. When
he arrived a few months ago he was
from shoulder to foot. never being
able to leave his chair. Today he
walks with the aid Of cane and
can move every finger in his formerly
paralyZed hand. Across the room
sits a man. u slave to his bad habits,
and has come to Coue to cure him
My good friend. you will find when
you leave this room that you are q
! changed individual and in a short
time you will find it impossible to do
1t impossible not to do"
by the door sits woman of about
sixty years who lost her right eye
some years ago in an accident, and
SINCE that time her left eye has near
| ly lost its vision. When she entered
the room she could not see the faces
of the people around her-only vague
| shadows. After the clinic. NJ. Coue
passed around some leaflets ex-
planning the use of his formula. when
she exclaimed, But 1 can read this;
[ can see the WORDS and then wept
for joy.
Perhaps the most joyous of all are
the peasants who SO completely put
themselves in tune with the positive
suggestions which Prof. Coue gives
them. They come with their stiff
knees. their chronic backache. their
| lumbago, rheumatism and asthma.
They are so completely free from all
| analysis. doubts and resistance that
| they are usually cured in few mo-
ments. Coue places the hand over the
ailinS spot and says, in chorus with
| the patient, THE pain is going, is go
ing, is going. is gone" Then he poses
the dramatic question. rs your pain
gone?"
1t is always interesting and often
amusing to note the Individual reac-
| ton. One person will hunt for the
old pain. Another will blink his eyes
as though seeing new world for the
first time--a world without suffering.
Still another will almost seem to re-
gret the absence of his lifelong COM
panion-the topic which rivaled with
the weather for first place in his
daily conversation.
Then comes the radiant smile of
! the SvmDafhotiC face
of NJ. Coue. His eyes sparkle. his
face is alight with triumph. He
has made one more victory over
mans enemy, disease.
You see it is so simple, my friends
Just imagine and believe that you are
we'll. Let your subconscious mind
heal you. Tell your pain to leave
you, and never think or fear of its
return"
| To avoid any misunderstanding
want to state plainly that Prof: Coue
does not believe that disease is i'm
aginary or that denying it VIII make
it disappear. He does believe that
many diseases have their origin IN
the mind, as we all know. but regard
less of the origin or history or an III
, ness. il can in all cases be amellorat-
ed, if not entirely cured, by giving the
subconscious mind positive sugges-
tions and letting that unknown Due
incalculable, force bring ABOUT the
cure in its own infallible way.
Very Simple Formula.
This explains the efficacy OF his
very simple formula. Twenty times
| every night before going to sleep. ana
twenty times every morning at the
moment Of waking. repeat In 10"
voice, loud enough to hear your own
words. but without any enort TO
think or analyze, Every day. ana IN
every way, 1 am getting better and
better"
prof. Coue also believes in working
hand in hand with the medical profes-
sion. In each case he asks the pa
tient for their physicians diagnosis
procure it before he proceeds. II 1t
iis case that demands scientific
knowledge.
He most persistently disclaims any
power or inclination to be a healer, e.
instrument of healing which every
one carries within himself. He en-
deavors to send away his patients
mot only cured for the moment, but
possessing a means of self-mastery
Nv which they cannot only effect
their mental and physical cures. out
by which they can also wrest from
life it's greatest possibilities.
When NJ. Coue comes to America In
earIy January it is to be hoped that
his method can be SO presented that
it will be adopted by the medical
profession, the universities, the men
Of science, as well as those interested
in the advancement of social reform.
The study of autosuggestion and
the power of the subconscious mind
invites analysis and the most thor
ough examination. Profound study
of Coue's method provokes nothing
but admiration. not only for it's eff
ficacy and sincerity, but also for the
scientific basis upon which it rests.
1t is most decidedly not a tool to
place in the hands of quack doctors.
'hypnotists and so-called mental and
faith healers. 1t is an instrument
which Coue hopes to give freely to
'every man. woman and child In Amer
Iica, so that they may themselves
master their own physical, mental
and moral imperfections.

ling results which can be attained by
the scientific study. of the subcon-
scious mind. But if launched as a
PSYCHOLOGICAL study and not as a
passing fad or sect, it should develop
into a most potent factor for heal.
