to all parts not only of France,
but of Europe and America. Coue's work has assumed such proportions
that his time is taken up often to the extent of fifteen or sixteen
hours a day. He is now nearing his seventieth year, but thanks to the
health-giving powers of his own method he is able to keep abreast of
his work without any sign of fatigue and without the clouding of his
habitual cheerfulness by even the shadow of a complaint. In fact, he
is a living monument to the efficacy of Induced Autosuggestion.

It will be seen that Induced Autosuggestion is a method by which the
mind can act directly upon itself and upon the body to produce whatever
improvements, in reason, we desire. That it is efficient and
successful should be manifest from what has gone before. Of all the
questions which arise, the most urgent from the viewpoint of the
average man seems to be this--Is a suggester necessary? Must one
submit oneself to the influence of some other person, or can one in the
privacy of one's own chamber exercise with equal success this potent
instrument of health?

Coue's own opinion has already been quoted. Induced Autosuggestion is
_not_ dependent upon the mediation of another person. We can practise
it for ourselves without others being even aware of what we are doing,
and without devoting to it more than a few minutes of each day.

Here are a few quotations from letters written by those who have thus
practised it for themselves.

"For a good many years now a rheumatic right shoulder has made it
impossible for me to sleep on my right side and it seriously affected,
and increasingly so, the use of my right arm. A masseuse told me she
could effect no permanent improvement as there was granulation of the
joints and a lesion. I suddenly realised two days ago that this
shoulder no longer troubled me and that I was sleeping on that side
without any pain. I have now lost any sensation of rheumatism in this
shoulder and can get my right arm back as far as the other without the
slightest twinge or discomfort. I have not applied any remedy or done
anything that could possibly have worked these results except my
practise of Coue."

"At my suggestion a lady friend of mine who had been ill for a good ten
years read _La Maitrise de soi-meme_. I encouraged her as well as I
could, and in a month she was transformed. Her husband, returning from
a long journey, could
