There is a frankness, an absence of art, about this book which makes its testimony to the power of mind over matter of double worth. No one may question the facts here recorded. They are FACTS, and they are recorded, as Truth should be, in simple speech.

The control of pain; the restoration to health, c., are effects which man, without the aid of another, can, and some day shall perfectly, accomplish in himself by the power of his own will while he is in a normal waking condition. Let us honor the man who blazed the path. We have little to do now but cut away t(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
