Anything that detracts from his faith, decreases the power of suggestion over his mind and body. Consequently, the hypnotist's home will not do as a place of practice, nor surely the home of his subject, as neither is conducive to success, being too familiar, or ordinary, or cozy. Suggestion is incomparably more effective in the cold environment of an office. It should be preferably impressive and stern in appearance, something that makes people stay silent or talk in whispering tones. A polite and business-like secretary will enhance the effect. All apparatus should be prepared and arranged in advance, to eliminate loss of time, fuss, muffled swearing. The practician must leave in his subject's mind the impression that he is certain of every motion and step. The voice, too, must convey the importance, exactitude, and calmness of his actions. The organization of his speech and the intonation of his words are also not without significance.
