...there has been a tendency to take Coue more seriously--perhaps for the reason that he is famous but largely because the facts about him have become known. He was born of poor parents, worked his way through school and college, taking three degrees in the process; kept a drug store for fourteen years; and finally, through sheer hard work and force of character, made a career for himself hardly the story of an ignorant quack, or the ordinary doctor...
