MANY people who have been
AVA treating some sort of all
ment all their lives, in vain, am
agine they can or should be
cured immediately by autosug-
gestion.
This is a mistake. It is no
use expecting from suggestion
more than it can normally pro-
duce-that ie to say, progress
sive Improvement which little by
little transforms itself into a
complete cure, when that is pos
sible.
Every illness has two aspects
unless it is exclusively a mental
one. Indeed on every physical
illness a mental one comes and
attaches itself.
II we give to the physical ILL.,
ness the coefficient 1, the mental
illness may have the coefficient
1, 2, 10. 20, so, 100. even greater.
PHYSICAL ILLS SIMPLEST.
In many cases the mental i'll.
ness can be made to disappear in
simultaneously, and If its coeffi-
cient is a very high one-100. for
instance-while that of the phys
ical ailment is 1, only ithlatter
is left, a 101st part of the
total illness! Such a thing is
called a miracle. and yet there
is nothing miraculous about it.
Contrary to common opinion.
physical diseases are generally
far more easily cured than men,
tai ones.
In order to understand properly
the part played by suggestion,
or rather by autOsuggestion, it
is enough to know that the I'm
conscious Self is the grand d.
rector of our functions.
Make it believe. as ] said in
preceding article, that certain
organ. which does not function
well. must perform its function,
and instantly the order is trans.
mitted. The organ obeys with
docility, and either at once or lit
tie by little performs its func-
tions in a normal manner.
This explains simply and clev-
erly how by means of suggestion
one can stop hemorrhages. cause
fibrous tumors to disappear, cure
paralysis. tubercular LESSONS, etc.
STOPS HEMORRHAGES.
Let us take, for example, a
case of dental hemorrhage which
l had the opportunity of observ-
ing in the consulting room of NJ.
Gauthe, a dentist at Troyes. A
young lady whom l had helped
to cure herself of asthma. from
which she had suffered for eight
years. told me one day that she
wanted to have a tooth out.
As 1 knew her to be very SEN
sitive. 1 offered to make her feel
nothing Of the operation. She
naturally accepted with pleasure
and we made an appointment with
the dentist.
On the day we had arranged
we presented ourselves at the
dentists and, standing opposite
my patient I looked fixedly at
her. saving:
"You feel nothing, you feel
nothing. etc, etc." and then
while still continuing the sug-
gestion l made a sign to the dem
tist.
In an instant the tooth was
out without Mile. D. suffering
the slightest pain.
As fairly often happens, a
hemorrhage followed. but I told
the dentist that I would try sug-
gestion without his using
haemostatic end without know
ing beforehand what would hap
pen.
I than asked Mile. d. to look
at me fixedly. suggested to
her that in two minutes the hem
orrhage would cease Of its own
accord, and we waited.
APPLIES TO TUMORS.
The patient spat blood again
once or twice. and then ceased.
I told her to open her mouth,
and we both looked and found
that a cIot Of blood had formed
in the dental cavity.
How is this phenomenon to be
explained? In the simplest way
Under the influence of the idea:
"The hemorrhage is to STOP" the
Unconscious had sent to the
small arteries and veins the or
der to stop the flow of blood,
and. obediently, they contracted
naturally, as they would have
