CONES HELPER
MAKES CURES
Auto Suggestion Method Successful
With Children at Nancy Clinic
Says ollie. Kaufmant

tuberculosis, infantile paralysis,
and even moral defects have been Grad
icated in children by the autosuGges-
ton method &C Emile Colc, declares
Ruth Dancnhower Wilson, nan ar
tiele in McClure'S Magazine for jan
uary on "Coueism for Children" The
Coue method has been applied to chill
dren's diseases with results even more
astounding Cnan his cures Of grown
people, the article states.
According to his belief" says the
writer, "the unconscious mind controls
the digestive processes, the circulation
cf the blood and all other muscular
movements which the mind does not
consciously will. If patient can i'm.
press on his unconscious mind that all
these processes will be perfectly done,
such will become the case in actual
fact.
Gan example of the working Of this
law is the ease with which almost any
one can walk q narrow plank if it Is
lying on the ground, while if the same
plank is used to bridge a deep chasm,
the average persons imagination be-
comes obessed with the awful posi-
bility Of falling. However ne may
consciously will 10 walk the plank, he
knows he will fall. His muscular
movements will obey his Imagination
instead of his Will.
IN. Coue himself does not treat
children under the age or four years,
vet he has repeatedly said that child
rem and peasants are the most easily
reached by suggestion. But he dele
gated this part of his work TO an aSsls-
tant who has mad startling success.
