Power u the win, or the New Science
Of Statuvolism.
The new science Of ststuvolism derives
its maine from two Latin words. viz, status,
. state or condition. and colo, will; mean.
ing thereby state or condition caused by

natural condition, but it has hitherto
been considered disease by the medical
faculty; but brilliant experiments by Drs.
Baird and Fahnestock have demonstrated,
by the former. that the concentration Of
the subjects mind on something outside
of himself was just as effective a. the
concentration of something outside of
himself upon the subjects mind show
ing. at least, that the rule was one which
worked both ways-but the latter has
gone farther and shown that the will Of
the subject. meaning the various attitudes
OF desire. fear, expectancy, Imagination,
faith, prayer. aspiration. ETC.. is all sum.

because of lack of knowledge of its
true nature. It has been demonstrated
in thousands of cases that when this new
science has become practically utilized
by the people that it will prove one of the
most benificent blessings ever bestowed
on man.
We will briefly state to what practical
uses it has already been applied, with the
most extraordinary success. Every per-
son who has been taught its true nature.
may, in time, unless they do something
to prevent it, throw his body, or any part
of it. into the statuvolic state at will.
independent of the rest, and can then
endure extraordinary hardships without
fatigue, and in case of accidents. wounds,
scalds or burns, disease, pain or uneasi.

his own will, at any time. render his body
or any part Of it insensible in an instant.
and consequently will be free from pain.
and by making resolution while in the
state all diseases that have not progressed
beyond the incurable stage. can be cured
ut once. or in short time. simply because
it is possible to the condition, and the
person has acquired the power to keep
the body in the state, or throw it off at
pleasure. Independent of any one, or of

In fact. hundreds of the most inveter
ate cases Of consumption. epilepsy, hip
disease, rheumatism. scrofula, neuralgia,
chorea. ETC.. have been cured by the power
of the subjects own will while in the
statuvolic condition. Extraordinary as
! it may seem, it is nevertheless fact that
surgical operations and obstctrical cases
have progressed to the end without pain.
unless the subject chose to feel pain to
see whether he could or not. The most
inveterate cases of delirium tremens and
appetites for liquor, opium. tobacco and
tea have been cured by resolution OF
the subjects will while in the state. In
other cases the most extraordinary pow
ers of m nd have been exhibited, such as
the ability 10 see. feel. hear, taste and
smell with an accuteness far transcending
the powers belonging to the ordinary
senses of man.
We have made special study of this
subject, and can give authentic testimony
or personal experiments in substantiation
of every word uttered. In our next arti.
Gle we will give practical directions for
sclf-healing by the power of the will.
