Fighting Tuberculosis
Without venturing to declare that
tuberculosis can be cured by auto
suggestion, I do say that in many
cases it can be fought successfully.

know a lady of sixty who has been
ailing for. the best part of her life,
and who, when she came to me first,
believed she was near death. She
weighed barely 90 lbs. Auto-sugges-
ton transformer her. The idea of
health implanted in her ssubconscious
gave her seif-confidence unknown to
her previously. Her health improved
to such an extent that she recovered
from an attack of pulmonary con-
gestion which her doctor believed she
could not possibly resist, and she has
increased her weight by 26 pounds

stipation, asthma and headaches
readily give way to auto suggestion

headaches for 80 years, taking aspir-
in and similar drugs regularly on
certain days of the week (notice the
power of suggestion; he was con-.
WINGED he could have a headache on
such and such day, and he did
have). Now he has set his mind
working along. other lines. and has
cured himself of his chronic head
ache / also know man who suf-
fered from sciatica, and who,s accord
ing to a letter which he wrote the
other day, has had practically no
pain since the day he came to hear
me explain the practice of auto-sug-
gestion; and young woman who
now thinks nothing of walking eight
miles, although by her Doctors
orders she had considered herself an
"invalid'' for many years, scarcely
daring to stir from her bed or her
sofa.
Waste Tissue May Be Repaired
Astonishing as these results may
appear, they are perfectly logical and
natural, since II has been demon
strated that, in certain conditions
wasted tissue may be repaired by the
exercise of auto-suggestion.
