Jacksonville Woman Says the Brain
IL Like n Battery and Sends Out
Thoughts TO All Points-TeIIs How
Her Cure Grew Hair on a Bald
Head.
When a New York World correspond
ent called at the Aragon hotel in Jack
sonville, Fla, the other day to see Mrs.
Helen Wilman Post, the mental sci
ence healer, who is charged with
using the mails to defraud peo-
pie who applied to her for treat
ment, he met with a cordial re-
ceptiOn. She is seventy-three years old
and has full, strong, yet kindly face.
She was dressed in black and wore a
silver pin in the bosom of her dress.
Speaking of her healing powers, she
said:
MY healing is done by the power Of
thought, through thought transfers.
believe in power of mind to control all
things. 1 have experimental with it
till know of its curing many diseases
incurable by other methods"
How about curing patients at dis
tance:" was asked.
Distance is no hindrance to power
of thought. Thought is an intelligent
substance generated by the human
brain and when charged by the human
will goes where it is sent and per
forms that which it is charged to per-
form. Thought of a positive character
controls thought which is of a mega
tive character to itself, and in this way
a belief in disease may be cast out and
a belief in health substituted. Disease
is simply a denial of health. 1t has no
power in itself except that which the
patient gives it. All power is health or
in the vital principle
as it necessary to set a fixed time
for thought connections"
"NO,' was the reply. THE only rea-
son for setting a special time is to sat
isfy the mind of the patient The ma
jority of patients are treated collective
ly, just as one can address an audi
ence of 1000 persons as well as one.
In other words. like the electric con-
nections of Marconi's wireless telegra-
ply, thoughts in harmony with mine,
through letters or intercourse, connect
with each other all over the world.
The human brain is the same as a bat
terry and sends out thoughts to all
points. A person who has made a
study of this matter and strengthened
comes a very powerful battery for the
generation of positive and healing
thoughts.
"All treatment is to arouse the latent
vitality in the patients. When this vi
tally is aroused in a patient any and
every organ in the human body will re-
spond.
''In the case OF Mr. Woodruff of Re
nina, Mont, who testified to growing
hair on his bald head, was only treat
ing him for liver and kidney trouble,
not knowing he was bald. But my
healing thoughts cured his other all
ments, and then his hair grew, and he
has now n well covered head.
There is no limit to the diseases that
can be cured by my mental science
treatment, but there is limit to IN
Outstanding; hence all patients are not
cured. l have treated 5000 to 1900
patients in years past and know that a
large percentage We're benefited. The
witnesses who testified as to cures in
the court were all intelligent people.
1T is false that 1 give treatment for
growing hair on bald heads, to make
one limb grow longer or to make a
person rich"
Mrs. Post complained that the gov
eminent is prosecuting her and that her
private papers had been seized and ex-
amined and every effort made TO con-
Wet her.
