Some months ago I began to At

self-help and mental healing. There
learned many things not taught In
the schools, among them three of su.
preme importance. namely. that. first.
drugs are an invention of the devil;
second, that the true healing of dis
ease is through mental suggestion, or
telepathy; and, third, that evil
thoughts can be communicated mental
ly as well as good ones. AS soon as I
had become aware Of this latter fact
began to notice that whenever I
passed a drug store I felt a strange

trembled, my stomach turned sour,
and my mind became full Of thoughts
of horror and dread. i could think Of
nothing but evil. This was true of
all drug stores, but more particularly
of Parmenter's. And that Is the one

to overcome. As soon as the greet

concerns seeking the privilege and is
