has gone down to onc-third its former
size and is still decreasing. He believes
it will go away entirely.
Case number five: An English wom-
an. The marks Of suffering are on her
face. Pain has cut deep circles under
her eyes, She told me she had been
confined to her bed for eight years with
various ailments. Now she lives like
other people. She attend the Coue
clinics. She goes for long walks. At
night she visits the theater and enjoys
it.
Case number six: An American wom-
an from Connecticut. For years suf-
fercr from asthma. Now she breatheS
in comfort. She had not been able TO
enjoy theaters because she couldn't be
shut up that way with other people.
The other night l saw her at the opera
in Nancy.
He Has No Game"
/ could go on and on, citing other
instances. These people are Coue
fans. They have all the enthusiasm
of religious converts. Some are In
sisting upon making gifts of money to
Monsieur Coue. And when people vol
unfairly part with money it means
something.
What's this man Coue's game?"
That's u question ! have been cold
bloodedly asking myself ever since |
have been attending the far-famed
Emil Coue autO-suggestion clinics here.
And | have concluded there isn't
any game except the desire to help
people.
Ii he soaked people a big fee for
his services, Americans would wink the
other eye and say, That's it."
But he doesn't charge any fees. Every
person who comes to the clinics is well
come and every person gets the same
treatment and gets it for nothing.
If one wants to, he can buy lit
tie French book in which Coue explains
his system. But the. book isn't pushed
on you and its cost is only two francs.
The ID cents you pay for it just about
pays for paper and printing.
Also old Marie, COue's maid, has on
sale pictures of Coue in his clinic
with his patients. But here, again
the price is so nominal that it merely
pays for photography and paper.
Like Religious Leader.
Perhaps the better way to get al
| the secret of Coue is to compare him
| to the founder of a new religion. The
| latter wants all the world TO have the
happiness he is sure it will bring tc
| them.
That is the way with Couc. He il
sure he has got hold of a great truth
which other men have appreciated only
| in part. He is sure he has invented
formula and a method by which sui
| fering mankind can make the most o.
| this truth and get the most out of it
| And he brings to his work the passion
| the faith and the feryOr of the evan
geist. Only it must always be made
clear that in Coueism there is nothing
| in the way of a new religion or cult.
Coue finds the doctors agreeing witt
him. Distinguished medical men o
France, Switzerland, Belgium ant
| Great Britain have recognized the value
Of the work be is doing.
Coue himself thinks every physi
clan can profitably use autO-suggestior
in his practice.
Seeks Doctors Friendship.
One of the goals he has set for him
self on his present visit to America Ii
to interest the medical profession of the
United States in what he is doing and
has done. He is confident, if they
watch him work and observe the results
he obtains, that they will be friendly
and not hostile.
From my own observation and ex'
periences here, would saw that COue's
greatest value TO people is that be
brings a health gospel Of hope and
optimism Instead Of despair and pessi'
miSm.
don't know how teachers of the
Coue method will succeed, but CouC
himself simply radiates cheer. Anf
it's contagious, that and the belief in
the power of the imagination, the I'M
conscious mind, over the body.
