Emile Coue. who has aroused both
miraculous cures of various diseases
through what he calls induced auto
suggestion. is soon to visit the United
States for the purpose of spreading
his doctrines. To the average reader
OF newspaper and magazine DR.. Coue
needs no Introduction. since much has
been written recently about his work.
1t is the purpose of this article to
eudeavor to show the real value. as

or principles of DIR. Coue. and to
caution the public against embracing

simple genius is actually performing

the healing magic of his voice and

our own choosing. into the uncon-
Sc;ous mind. That usually these
thoughts are accepted by the latter
