...Kolouch's prize case was a businessman of 46 who had had a mortal fear of surgery since childhood, capped by an unsuccessful operation for hernia repair at the age of 41. After this earlier operation he had needed seven doses of pain relievers and was hospitalized for five days. Moreover, the operation failed, and he suffered agony for five years because he could not face repeated surgery. Dr. Kolouch talked him into it and used hypnosis.

Costly Facial. There are some gloomy realities behind these figures. The Ladies' Home Journal, once the uncontested doyenne of the women's magazine field, is locked in mortal combat with McCall's-and losing.

It was created in 1896 as the American Sunday Magazine, Popular Periodical of the New York Journal for use as a weapon in the mortal struggle between Hearst's Journal and Joseph Pulitzer's World. Pulitzer brandished a Sunday supplement of his own, the Sunday Magazine-but he had to do without the help of his imaginative Sunday editor, Morrill Goddard, 30, whom Hearst had hired away earlier that year, along with the World's entire Sunday staff...
