the Vagaries of mind curers and their
boasts Of remarkable cases of healing
it may be admitted that the mind mas
much influence over the body This TACT
has been recognized by intelligent ply
sicians for centuries. And that the pc
culfar modern type of nervous diseases,
which are so largely caused by excessive
stimulus of the nerves and the i;nasina-
tion, should be amenabIe to cure through
TIE imagination, is not strange
1t will be noted that this mental cure
has effected it's miracles mainly among
women, where 1t has the emotional tenn
permanent to work on, and almost wholly
IN the ranks of the wealthy and weiI-to-
90. where there is little or no impoverish-
ment of the system by insufficient food
and excessive toll to hinder its effects.
We have not heard, nor are we likely
to hear. of an epidemic disease checked
by the mind cure, or of the healing of
acute affections or organic troubles
through its agency. Nor do we hear Of
Its seeking to carry its message of heal
ing into the houses Of the suffering poor
in large cities, where hunger, exposure
and foul air open wide the door to fe-
vers and all deadly diseases, nor yet into
hospitals for contagious or incurable af-
feftlons. In the presence of such reali-
ties 1t would prove, as it's votaries proba-
Oily understand, too painful mockery.
Intelligently analysed, therefore, this
than quite striking proof of the re-
markable influence of the mind over tho
nervous system. Beyond this the craze
in attempting to disprove the existence
OF disease, and to show tfat poisons do
not kill, is simply running against the
plain and inevitable facts of life and
should be left to perish through its own
rashneSs.
BELIEVE AND BE CURED.
The following formula is set forth by
one mental science teacher:
"All the years that you have believed
in disease You have either consciously or
| uneonscieusly filled your mentality with
| words of disease. You can only cause
! a turn in this state of consciousness
py resoiutely speaking words of con-
! trery nature.
! to realize them. On the contrary always
| speak them with the glad hopefulness
that you will realize them right now.
Every good thing and every beautiful
! thing is true of your ideal Being now.
! 1t always was true of that Being and 1t
always will be true. You will become
conscious of your own grea tneSS and of
| your own perfection only as you speak
| words descriptive of your ideal Being in
spite of all contrary external appearance.
Let US unite in speaking the follow,
| ing soul alternatives. They will not only
permeate our own consciousness, but
! they will tincture the universal mental
! atmosphere and will help every person.
ality whose consciousness is open to re-
| ceiYe them.
