Two wonderful new books, entitled Sue
cess and How to Win It. and 1.-The Sc
cret of Power, have just been issued at
an expense of over 5000 by one of the
leading colleges OF the city of New York.
These books are from the pens of the
ablest specialists Of moGern times. The
authors gaVesaways the copyright on con-,
ditions that 10000 copies should be dis
tributed to the public free of charge. The
Columbia Scientific Academy is now COM
plying ,.ith this contract, and until the

teries of personal magnetism. will power
and scientific character reading are ex-

power. ses.s,,:s = s
The books also describe absolutely cer
tain methods by which you can read the
character secrets and lives of every one
you meet. No one can deceive you. You
can tell what vocation is best for you to
follow You can know the secret power
by which minds Of human beings are
charmed and fascinated. The, newest lat
est and best system of physical and men
tai culture anu magnetic healing is fully
explained and illustrated by beautiful half
tone engravings. No such books haze
ever before been published. No such Won
derful information has ever before been
placed in the hands of the public. On &C,
count of the mighty power ard influence
placed in ones hands by these books. the
Legislature of the State of New orll &C.
bated whether or not the State ought to
permit their promscuous circulation; but
it was finally decided the good they would
accomplish would greatly overcome the
i'll. and their distribution was not inter-
fered with.
Not long ago John D. Rockefeller, the
richest man in America, said, in talking
to q Sunday-school class. thai he regard
ed his success i'll life largely to his ability
to influence others. Lincoln. Lee. Napo-
leon and Alexander the Great all won
fame and renown by their wonderful pow
er of personal influence. Jay Gould piled
up millions by this same power. J.ssP.
Morgan organized the billion-doliar steel
trust and enriched himself ly millions
simply by his marvellous ability to infiu-
ence others. There are TO-DAY thousands
of men with twice the. brains and educa-
ton of Mr.. Morgan, who are. practically
paupcrs. They have the ability to organ
ize a trust, but they have not sufficient
power Of personal influence. Personal in
tluence, will-power, stanina-call it what
you will-has from the creation of man
been the subtle force that has brought
wealth, fame and renown to those who
were fortunate enough to possess it.
This strange. mysterious influence is in
herent in every human being. BY the late
methods explained by the New York spe-
cialists in human culture any intelligent
person can develop a. wonderfully mag
netic personality. and learn how to read
the character secrets, and the lives of
others in 4 few days study at his own
home. You can use this marvellous power
without the knowledge of your most init
mate friends and associates. You can
use it to obtain lucrative employment to
secure an advance in salary, to win the
friendship and influence of others, to OBJ
tain a greater share of happiness from
life. You can De respected, honored and
become a lcadcrtin your community.
