Julia Anderson Root: "A TREATISE ON MIND-CURE"

" Mental healing," " mind-cure," " metaphysical science," or by whatever name it may be known, is not a new system. In all ages of the world there have been persons who have cured diseases that learned medical practitioners have pronounced incurable. These cases have been effected by the power of mind, and we are confident from our own experience, that the more this invisible agent is brought to bear upon the human system, the less sickness and suffering we shall have in the world. We expect the aid and co-operation of our churches, irrespective of sect, and, in fact, of good and intelligent people everywhere, in our efforts to lessen the sum of human misery and woe. It is sad to see the lives of so many of God's children embittered by disease, when the remedy lies in their own hands. Each and all can do something towards remedying this state of things. Our efforts we feel will be crowned with at least as much success in the future as they have been in the past.

A TREATISE ON MIND-CURE, WITH ORIGINAL VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT, AND COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRACTICE, AND SELF-TREATMENT. JULIA ANDERSON ROOT. 1884.

The blind have been made to see, the halt to walk; lifelong invalids have had their health restored....
One hears of the "Gospel of Relaxation,"
of the "Don't Worry Movement,"
of people who repeat to themselves, "Youth, health, vigor!"...
