that we have eight senses, you know, instead
Of five. We see. we hear, we smell, we taste,
We touch. We also have sense or colo ana
a sense of heat, and also sense OF muscu-
lar action. All of these senses are based upon
thought. They are controlled by the mind.
The use of them acts upon the mind. Every
time you use one of them certain set OF cells
in the brain is changed and by their use you
can build up a new set of brain cells. Unless
all of these senses are used your brain VIII

child tried to make him use all OF his senses.
l taught him the sense of heat and cold by the
use of hot and cold baths, graduated from cool
to warm. L also used rubber gloves connected
with the water supply. and as result OF TINS
