GESTiON FUNCTIONS.

MANY people who have been treat
I ing some sort OF atInent all tnelr
lives. in vain, imagireS that the can
or should be Immediately cured by
autosugeestton.
This Is a mistake: It Is not reason
able to think so. 1t is no use expect
ing from suggestion more than 1t can
! normally produce-that Is TO say.
progressive improvement which little
by little transforms itself into COM
plete cure. when that is possible.
Every illness has two aspects un'
,eSS it is exclusively mental one.
| Indeed, on every pltyical illness 4
mental one comes and attaches itself.

may have the coeflicient l. :. III, ~
so, 100, even greater. In many caset
| the ment"i illness can be made &c
disappear in simultaneously, nd ii its
coefficient IS very high one-loV
for instance.-while that OF the phySt'
cal ailment is l, only this latter Is
left a l01st part oil the total illness.
Such a thing Is called miracle, and
vet there is nothing miraculous
about it.
Contrary TO common opinion. ply
sical diseases are generally far more
easily cured than mental ones.
In order 10 understand properly the
| part played by suggestion or rather
| BY autosuggestlon, 1t IS enough to
know that the Unconscious Self is
tho grand director OF all our func'
ticns.
Make it believed as ! said In pre-
| ceding article. that certain organ
/ " hich does not function we'll. must
perform its function, and instantly
! the order is transmitted. The organ
. obeys with doci!ity, and either at
! once or little by little performs Its
functions in normal manner.
This explains simply and clearly
how by means Of suggestion one can
! stop hemorrhagcS, cause tiorous tu'
mors to disappear, cure paralysis, tu'
..rCuar LESSONS. etc.
A Striking Concrete Example.
ct us take TOR example. case OF
dental hemorrhage which | had the
cpportunity of observing In the con
,ultation room of NJ. Gauthe. n den
fist at Troyes A young lady whom
, had helped to cure herself OF
asthma from, which he had suffered
for eight years. told me one day that
she wanted to have tooth out.
As knew her TO be very sensitive.
I offered to make her leel nothing OIL
the operation. She naturally accept
cd with pleasure and we made an ap-
pointment with the dentist.
On the day We had arranged we
presented ourselves at the dentist
and. standing opposite my patient,
looked fixcdly at her, saying:
You feel nothing. you !eel moth
, iug, etc, etc" and then while still
continuing the suggestion | made a
sign to the dentist.
In an instant the tooth was out
without Mile. ID. suffering the slight
est pain.
hs fairly often happens, hemor-
rhace followed. but told the dentist
that would try suggestion without
his using a haemostatic end without
knowing, beforehand. what would
happen.
| then asked Mile. D. to look at me
fixedly. / suggested to her that In
two minutes the hemorrhaage would
cease of its own accord, and we
waited.
The patient spat blood again once
or twice. and then ceased. | told her
to open her mouth, and We both look
ed and found that clot of blood had
formed in the dental cavity.
How is this phenomenon to be e1'
planned? In the simplest way. I'm
der the influence of the idea: 1.-THE
hemorrhage Is to stop" the Uncon.
scious had sent to the small arteries
and veins the order to stop the flow
of blood. and. obedientlr. they con.
tracted naturally. as they would have
done artificiaIly al the contact OF a
hemostatic like adrenalin. for exam
