AUTO SUGGESTION.
A TERRIBLE SCENE. AT LONDON HOSPITAL. FRENZIED SHELL-SHOCKED SOLDIERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 9, 5-5 p.m. London, April 8. M. Coue, an auto-suggestion authority, of Nancy, is visiting London and giving a remarkable series of seances, in which, apparently, a number of cures have been successful. Lady Beatty, who herself benefited by auto-suggestion, induced M. Coue to visit the Tooting Neurological Hospital, where shell-shocked soldiers are treated. A hundred patients attended the demonstration. After half an hour a soldier, who was suffering from bodily tremors, came up to the platform, and M. Coue made passes and suggested that the tremors were unreasonable. Suddenly the patient, with a piercing shriek and contorted face, writhed upon the floor. The effect of his frenzy upon the rest was horrible. Man after man flung himself on., the floor in uncontrollable hysteria. The doctors and sisters were unable to calm them. Lady Beatty ran out of the hall in distress, and M- Coue abruptly closed the demonstration.
