2,000 See Coue Cure
Boy of Stammering;
Act Amazes Audience
Washington.—In the course of a pub
lic lecture in Continental Menior'al
hall last night, Emile Coue, nv means
of auto-suggestion, succeeded in curing
poung bov of stammering. The cure,
which resulted in the youth articular
trig perfectly, took place before nearly
2,000 persons, and is the tirst, event of
its kind which the French exponent of
autosuggestion has brought about in
the national Capital.
,lI do not stammer anv longer, al
though I did,” the youngster said as
he turned a surprised face toward the
audience after Coue had told him sev
eral times that it was perfectly easy
for him to speak properly.
In the course of his lecture the
Frenchman called upon several persons
to go onto the platform in order that
he might, perforin simple experiments
on them. These experiments consisted
principally of clasping aud ‘unclasping
the hands in harmony with the thought
suggested .by M. Coue.
Among those who went up to M.
Coue to submit to the experiments was
a boy who appeared to be about 12
years old. After the s)ieaker had per
formed several experiments on women,
the lad came forward.
M. .Coue told the hoy to clasp his
hands together tightly. Several times
the lecturer said, “You capnot open
them.” Despite the fact that he was
making an apparent effort to separate
his lingers, the boy was powerless.
Next M. Coue had him place one hand
on his head, telling him at tho same
time to think that ho could not remove
it. The hoy trembled, so strong were
his efforts to take the hand away, but
until M. Coue told him to think that
he could take it from his head the
hand remained there.
The boy was told to clench one hand
in front of him. at the same time think
ing he could not open it, and then trv

to open it. lie did so. but while M.
(one turned to talk to some one else on
the stage the youngster opened his
hand.
M. Coue explained this merely em
phasized the point he was making,
which was that the youth and not him
self was responsible for the actions.
When the boy turned to M. Coue
after the little Frenchman had finished
the experiments he told him that he
stammered. Without raising his voice
above a conversational tone, M. Coue
said: "You dftn't stammer. Tell t.he
aedience that you will never stammer
ag;i n. ”
It was then that in a clear loud voice
the boy said, "I do not stammer any
longer, although I ,/td.”
Amazement wasdepieted on the faces
of the audience. Many had gone to
the lecture skeptical, only to be con
verted by the success of the consciaus
suggestion upon the subjects who vol
unieered. When a person’s fingers be
come while through the strain of being
closely clasped together, and when the
person is very noticeably trying to un
clasp them but utterly fails, it seemed
dilhcult for one to retain any doubt.
Speaking of the cure of the boy, M.
Coue was emphatic in his declaration
that it was not brought about by him.
It is the result of the operation of the
boy’s own subconscious mind, he said.
"I (io nothing,” the Frenchman said.
‘‘1 help, but I can not cure. It is the
theory which has made it pufsibie for
this boy to speak*without the affliction
with which he, has heretofore been af
fected.”
