gist, at his clinic at the Provi-
dence Hospital, and have startled
Washington.
Gaining control Of the subcon-
scious mind is the keynote of his
success in curing hundreds of
neurological cases, many of which
had developed into paralysis,
epilepsy. even insanity.
Daily, as he enters his clinic
to begin an afternoon Of heal.
ing, Father Moore is met by
dozens of patients, some wealthy.
others stricken with poverty, but
all anxiously waiting their turn.
One hour is the usual time
limit for the first treatment.
Many disorders are corrected in
that period. Patients previously
treated are permitted from quar-
ter to half of an hour. Seldom
are more than half a dozen
treatments needed.
"They all can be cured in a
very short time if I can prove
to their subconscious mind that
there is nothing the matter with
Them" says DR.. Moore.
His eyes twinkled, and smile
crept over his fatherly face as
he explained to the reporter
some of the methods employed
In reaching the subconscious
mind of the patient.
Don't let them know what
you are driving at. Put them
through an unpleasant treat
ment, and in a short time their
unconscious ailments will quickly
disappear" he said.
The clinic was opened early
in 1915. The number of patients
continually increased until now
there are more than 500 new
cases each year.
DR.. Moore is a native of Wash
ington. He was graduated from
Catholic University, and after
ward had graduate work at two
German universities. He then
studied medicine at George.

mental mechanism which causes
their particular difficulty. In many
cases, it is possible to readjust
their minds.
ABOUT BRAIN TROUBLE.
It is absolutely necessary to
differentiate between the mental
disorders and those that develop
from some organic trouble, where
other medical treatment is need
ed. But there are few Of these
cases. We treat none at our
clinic. These patients turn over
to brain specialists. Many dis
orders arise from tumors on the
brain and necessitate surgical
treatment"
Father Moore scored the pres
ent school system on the ground
that establishment of rigid cur
riculum of daily activities was
often the direct cause of mental
disorders of children.
What is needed is a variation
in the present day school sys-

ing courses at the various schools,
but the instructors are reluctant
to permit any but exceptionally
bright children to attend these.
classes.
"a child must be studied. He
must be given training in the
particular line of study for which
he is adapted. BY failing to do
this school officials cause the child
to develop truancy, incorrigibility
and other vices which tend 20
diminish the efficiency Of the
mentality.
ARE THREE.
Faulty mental conditions Of
children are due to one Of three
things. First comes lack of abil-
ity, observation-disclosures. This can
be corrected only by studying
the child's condition and by slim
ulating interest in work in which
the child takes pleasure.
THE second fault lies in the
home. Hundreds of children be-
come mentally disordered from
faulty homes. Many parents fail
to appreciate the necessity Of

In short, these persons become
paralyzed, though subconsciously,
in an effort to evade the unpleas-
antness Of their state of being.
MANY persons crave SYM
pathy, and unconsciously develop
the peculiar conditions that pre-.
vail upon the sympathetic feel.
ings Of those around them.
Frequently they develop myster.
ious convulsive seizures, similar
to epilepsy. Others become
blind, or their hearing becomes
defective. Some lose their voice.
All unconsciously develop these
troubles as a result CT the sub
conscious appeal, see how much
I deserve your sympathy
Do NOT PRETEND.
These people don't consciously
pretend. It is all a matter Of
that subconscious desire to crave
sympathy or to endeavor to evade
unpleasantness. 1t is an easy
matter to eliminate the trouble by
the application of something I'M
pleasant" he said.
Father Moore then told now he
had cured a twenty-one-year-old
girl afflicted with the convulsive
seizures. The girls condition was
such that she would wake up
the entire household several times
a night.
II prescribed a lot of unneces-
sarily unpleasant but harmless
medicines, and ordered that the
girl be compelled to sleep in the
attic, by herself, far away from
the other members Of her family"
he said.
'Unconsciously, the first night
she had one of the seizures, but
there was nobody around to offer
her sympathy. 1t lasted but a
short time, and it was the last
she has been afflicted with. AL
though she greatly disliked sleep
ing in the attic, she continued
to do so for several months, at
my request. have no fear that
she will ever suffer from the
seizures again.
with the patients of higher
intellect, many cures can be eff
fected by showing the person the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-25

"At such times the hospitals be-
hind the front lines began to fill
with lads who permitted their
subconscious minds to override
their will power and to submit to
the belief that they had become
shell shocked, though nothing was
the matter with them.
'They would enter the hospital
trembling from head to foot. They
were laid on a table and they
still trembled, for hours at
time If you permitted them to.
Yet the theory Of their trembling
is inconsistent.
"A relaxed muscle cannot trem-

needed to cure shell shock. We

eral minutes, then order the
patient to relax his muscles. He
would be surprised to learn that
he had been SO quickly cured of
his shell shock.
Once, when orders were re-
ceived to move and our hospital
was filled with about 200 shell
shock patients, I donned a white
coat and by the simple treat
ment of a relaxed muscle can
not tremble,' had cured the en-
tire lot within the afternoon.
CONFLICT OF DESIRES.
Shell shock as an unconscious
Sinking Of ones duty originates,
like every mental or nervous
disorder, in conflict of de-
sires.
Each of us has number of
desires. We can't satisfy them
all. Many are blocked. and as q
result unhappiness in many cases
results. This unhappiness takes
immediate effect on the person
of weaker mentality.
IF the person suffering is of
a sad disposition, he will become
considerably sadder. and will do
nothing. Others worry, excite
themselves, or shut themselves
up.
Many will withdraw from all
social gatherings, as in the 60.

education, and compel their chill
dren to work hard. This has a
great tendency toward weaken
ing the youthful mind.
1.-THE third fault lies in the
school. Many schools are not
suited for certain peculiar types
Of children, and these children
don't realize the value of the
school. They become consistent
truants and incorrigibles. This the
teachers and parents term q
mental disorder Of the child,
while the truth is that it is the
fault of the school.
IF a child cannot be satisfied
with the particular kind Of train
ing he is undergoing, change the
training. There is great need Of
a school which can adapt itself
to the child, as a medium be-
tween institutions for the feeble
minded and vocational schools Of
high training.
DULL BOY" A GENIUS.
There isn't anything like a
dull boy unless he is feeble
minded. A boy classed as dull
is only dissatisfied with the par
ticular training he is being
forced to take. Naturally, he
will be uninterested. But study
that boy, find out what he likes
and start teaching him how to
do that particular kind Of work
more efficiently, and you will
soon discover you have found a
genius.
Nervous disorders of children
are caused by faulty hygiene in
infancy. This fault is hard to
correct, If the child had developed
a high degree of nervousness.
I'm cases where these children
want something they will at first
fake Mysteries or other nervous
disorders. They continue doing
this for a time and then sub
consciously develop what is known
as Mysteries or convulsive seiz-
ures.
Study your child. give him the
training he wants, and you will
eliminate these nervous ailments,
which range from slight disorders
to insanity" Ahe said.

HOW EXPLAINED.

A and B, B is to think first
of any one of the symbols
and the person A is to mSrk
down the figure 1ns1oe a
symbol e." This is to be
repeated five times till
there is a figure l to 6 in
side the respective symbols.
It will be found that after
a few rehearsals the indi-
vidual A will write in the
figures in the various sym
bols in the order which the
person B concentrated his
thought upon them.

TWO OPINIONS.
One group Of investi-
gators insists that the sue
cess Of the experiments de-
ponds entirely upon mental
concentration. These are the
psychologists and physicists.
The other group, with
which I am more in sym
pathy, declares that these
experiments are successful
only when the participants
are in attune with the
psychic element which sur
rounds them.
However, I have deter
mined to exclude from the
explanations of the expert
ments which are offered for
the entertainment of read
ers of this newspaper my
personal opinion of why the
experiments are workable.
The two experiments in
thought transference may
be perfected with repetition

feet in any pursuit.

It will be found after
a few rehearsals of this ex-
pertinent that the person A
will cross out the three let

B has concentrated in his

one, two, three they have
been memorized, thought of,
and disposed of.
