Only Half Alive

A man now in Los Angeles, but

er and geographer, honored by
leading geographical societies, re.
veals the story of a remarkable
method that often leads to almost
unbelievable improvement in power
of mind, achievement of brilliant
business and professional success
and new happiness. Many report
improvement in health. Others tell
of increased bodily strength, mag
netic personality, courage and
poise.
This man tells how he found
these strange methods in far-off
and mysterious Tibet, often called
the land of miracles by the few
travellers permitted to visit if He
discloses how he learned rare wis.
dom and long hidden practices
closely guarded for three thousand
years by the sages, which enabled
many to perform amazing feats
He maintains that these immense
powers are latent in all of us and
that methods for using them are
now simplified SO that they can be
used by almost any person with
ordinary intelligence.
He maintains that man. in .e.d
of being limited by one-man.
