AUTO-SUGGESTION
DEMONSTRATIONS IN LONDON
INCIDENT AT A HOSPITAL
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.)
LONDON, April 8
M. Cone, an auto-suggestion authority, of Nancy, is visiting London giving a' rcinarkatile series of seances, m which aparently a number of cures have been successful. Lady Beatty, who herself was benefited by autosuggestion, induced M. Cone to visit the Tooting Neurological Hospital, where shell-shocked soldiers wore treated. A hundred patients attended a demonstration. After hali-an-hour, a soldier suffering from bodily tremors came up to the platform. At. Cone made, passes and suggested that the tremors were unreasonable. .Suddenly the patient, with a piercing shriek and contorted face, writhed upon the floor, and the effect of his frenzy upon the rest was horrible. Man after man shrieked and flung himself on the floor in uncontrollable hysteria. Doctors and sisters were unable to calm them and Lady Beathy ran out of the hall in distress and M. Cone abruptly closed the demonstration.
