Miscellaneous Subjects 125 INTRODUCTION 
To-day, Drugless Healing is again in its 
infancy. It is not a new art, but a forgot- 
ten truth, long-lost in the maze of our ma- 
terialistic age. Hypocrites (about 450 
B. C.) advocated and practiced it with 
marvelous results. Paracelsus, an adept 
physician, born in Switzerland in 1492, one 
of the eminent practitioners of his day, 
said: "I have discovered a great many se- 
crets in nature, and I tell you that he can 
only be a true physician who has acquired 
a knowledge of the healing art and the 
power to use it." Paracelsus was ridiculed 
by the physicians of his time, because his 
knowledge of the hidden forces in nature 
was beyond the comprehension of his col- 
leagues. 
Galen, a noted physician of Asia Minor, 
born about 131 B. C., gave abundant proof 
of certain forces in nature which healed. 
5 If we search the records of antiquity we 
will find many additional records of drug- 
less healing. 
To-day, the different schools of drugless 
healing, such as Christian Science, Mental 
and Spiritual Therapeutics, are, in their 
separate phases, simply fragments of a 
truth forgotten. 
The ideal physician and healer of the fu- 
ture will be he who is conscious of the finer 
forces in nature and be able to direct them 
as he wills. The doctor will then be the 
true healer and he will not require a satchel 
to carry his drugs, for nature which sur- 
rounds him will be his servant. 
Materialistic Medical Science, which 
bases its knowledge on known physical 
laws, claims that healing, other than by 
physical methods, is not practical or scien- 
tific. In fact the drugless practitioner is 
branded as a charlatan. This is quite nat- 
ural, as Medical Science is ignorant of the 
6 finer forces in nature, and as such will re- 
main until she evolves a consciousness of 
them. 
Medical Science has caused many un- 
practical and unscientific names to be ap- 
plied to the various schools of Occult Heal- 
ing, due to her inability to understand 
their methods. These different branches 
of Occult Therapeutics have performed 
marvelous cures, not only in the past, but 
also of to-day (unquestionably proved and 
a matter of open record), and as this 
knowledge becomes more generally known 
in the future, the skeptic and know-it-all 
(who very often uses these finer forces un- 
consciously in the healing of disease) will 
have to admit the existence of its efficacy, 
for truth alone survives. 
Requisites of the Healer 
FIRST: Knowledge. A mere belief 
in the finer forces of nature, or reading lit- 
erature on the subject, is not sufficient. 
7 The healer must have a conscious knowl- 
edge of these forces and understand how to 
intelligently direct them. 
SECOND: An intense desire to be help- 
ful to suffering humanity. Love and sym- 
pathy for all, without, however, losing posi- 
tiveness, which is very essential to the 
healer. 
THIRD: Purity of living. A good healer 
must live a perfectly chaste life. He who 
intends to heal and touch women must be 
master of his emotions. The emotions are 
forces which the wise healer will use ad- 
vantageously. He who is a slave to his pas- 
sions will not succeed as a healer. 
FOURTH: He must of necessity have a 
knowledge of anatomy. 
FIFTH: Clairvoyance or Clear Seeing. 
This may be divided into two distinct 
classes, viz.: Low and high. The low is 
connected with ordinary mediumship. It 
8 is also to be found in lower animals. It 
has its chief expressions through the sym- 
pathetic nerve-center. It is limited in its 
scope. 
SIXTH: Clairvoyance, the higher. This 
is connected with the cerebral-spinal. It is 
the results of definite training, purity of 
life, daily meditation on different virtues, 
such as purity, chastity, love, etc. These 
are the chief factors that hasten its devel- 
opment. The doctor of the future will be 
clairvoyant. He will be able to see into 
physical matter as clearly as the X-Ray. 
SEVENTH: Intuition. This faculty is 
sometimes called the sixth sense. It is more 
or less dormant in our present humanity, 
but like any other faculty which is lacking 
in development, it may be evolved. The 
physician of the future will use his intuition 
with his clairvoyant sight. 
9 PART I. 
CONCENTRATION 
Concentration means holding the mind 
one-pointed. It may be defined as the 
focusing, of interested attention for the 
time being, one thought subject or object 
receiving the exclusive attention of the 
mind. The habit of our wandering 
thoughts may be overcome by practice. At 
first it will seem impossible to the begin- 
ner for in the early stages it is hard to con- 
trol our thoughts. By repeated efforts we 
gradually gain dominion over them, and 
our strength grows every time we try to 
master them. 
The student of Mental Therapeutics 
must also learn to over come outside 
thoughts by cultivating his own thinking. 
By a systematic effort, you must build up 
a spiritual body of thought for yourself, 
by thinking Truth till it becomes part of 
your mind. 
The beginner will find it to his advan- 
11 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
tage to sit down in a straight back chair, 
neck and chest in a line. Let the upper 
part of your body rest on your ribs, relax 
mentally and physically, taking a few deep 
slow breaths. This has the tendency to 
bring about that calm, restful state of mind 
which is essential to success. 
Now, turn the mind to some thought, 
subject or object selected before hand, and 
consider it attentively, never allowing your 
thoughts to falter even for a fraction of a 
second. Every time your thoughts wander, 
you must drag them back and control them. 
You must be master of your mind. This 
priceless faculty cannot be bought or given 
to anyone. Every one who wishes to 
succeed must master this art himself. Re- 
member that the power to master lies 
within yourself. 
To this faculty is to bring the 
restless mind under control, and with this 
accomplished we acquire poise and self con- 
trol. The mind becomes a powerful in- 
strument for the person who can control 
and direct it. The will of men who can 
12 CONCENTRATION 
properly concentrate, is one of the most 
powerful forces in existence. He does 
what he wills to do, and in thus doing, he 
illustrates one of the fundamental laws of 
nature. 
You, the thinker, are responsible to your- 
self for the alertness, harmony and health, 
which your thoughts express through 
every cell of your body. If it is not normal 
and healthy, you can make it so by think- 
ing constructively, and holding the picture 
of health and strength clearly in your 
mind. Your thoughts determine your 
state of health more than you have any 
idea of; you can, and do think yourself 
into a state of disease. And the environ- 
ment in which you live is the sum total of 
your thoughts. 
Every cell in our bodies is thought incar- 
nate. We silently build our bodies daily 
with the material we have created, and 
thereby change ourselves and conditions 
by thinking constructively. As long as we 
keep our old thoughts of disease in con- 
sciousness, we shall be sure to manifest 
13 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
and express old conditions. The more we 
think of disease, failure and "I can't", the 
more negative and unprogressive we be- 
come. 
Magnetism 
This force or energy comes from the sun. 
We may be said to literally live, move and 
have our being, in a physical sense, in the 
sun. This force, or energy, enters the 
etheric spleen with every inhalation of the 
breath. As it enters the spleen, the solar 
plexus draws it to itself with every exhala- 
tion, and from the solar plexus, it travels 
along the nerves to the sacred plexus situa- 
ted at the extreme end of the spine, and to 
the cardinal plexus, the core of the brain. 
These are the three main centers of the 
human body. From the cardinal plexus, 
this life energy traverses the nerves of the 
head. Again on the downward path it 
passes through to the psychic center situ- 
ated between the eye-brows. Then it tra- 
verses the nerves of the face; then the 
bronchial center, the throat front; the pul- 
monary center; the upper chest and lungs; 
14 CONCENTRATION 
the lower lung center, seated above the 
heart; the vital and generatic center, 
seated at the base fo the stomach; and so 
this life energy makes the circuit of the 
nerves until it gradually works its way out 
through the pores of the skin. 
When a man's vitality is low, it is be- 
cause he is lacking in the force or energy. 
In winter, when there is no sun for a few 
days, old people, who are feeble and whose 
vitality is low, generally die in the early 
hours of the morning, between 11 P. M. 
and 5 A. M. This also explains how by re- 
tiring two hours before midnight, you re- 
tain more vitality while lying in bed, and 
thus recuperate the physical body. This 
fluid also acts as a sort of cement for 
building and assimilating the nutriment of 
the food after a meal. If the body uses a 
greater quantity than ordinarily, its over- 
flow is not as great after a meal as before. 
This explains why an overindulgence in 
food is the direct cause of Colds, Asthma, 
etc, due to the fact that the superfluous 
matter cannot leave the body through the 
pores of the skin with sufficient force to 
15 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
wash away the deleterious matter such as 
poisonous gases, etc. 
This fluid also makes your Aura. As we 
move about we are continually throwing 
off this aura in the shape of stars and 
other geometrical shapes. 
It is by these physical plane particles, 
that a dog is able to follow his master and 
to identify him by the garments he has 
worn. 
In this way bloodhounds are able to trace 
daring criminals. A trained human could 
do the same more accurately, but in our 
present stage of civilization, we place more 
confidence in animals than we do in mor- 
tals. 
For Curing Headache and Other Ailments. 
The magnetic healer places his patient in 
a chair or reclining couch. Keeping the 
patient's eyes closed and his mind as calm 
as possible, he stands behind his patient, 
places his hands over his right and left tem- 
ples (not too much pressure on the temples), 
and his middle finger between the eye- 
16 CONCENTRATION 
brows, which is the psychic center. Think- 
ing harmoniously of love, sympathy, etc., 
enables him to get into an harmonious vi- 
bration with the patient. He then draws 
more of this life fluid to him, by taking a 
few slow, deep breaths every ten minutes 
or so, and as he wills it, this force rushes 
through his hands, and washes away all 
the impure matter which may be the cause 
of the headache, or other ailments. 
The center that is nearest the pain is the 
one to concentrate on. (For instance, in 
case of kidney trouble, the healer must 
place his hands on the second joint up 
from the sacred plexus, at the extreme end 
of the spine.) For Asthma, treat the pul- 
monary, and bronchial center. 
The healer must also concentrate on the 
centers according to the seat of the 
disease, as stated above. This will draw 
the patient's own magnetism to the afflicted 
parts, which will be very helpful in effect- 
ing a cure. First, you must use your 
imagination. Imagine there is a bright 
light covering the center you are working 
17 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
on; see it throwing bright rays of light 
towards the afflicted parts and penetrating 
every cell. First it will be purely imagina- 
tion, but with persistent practice, it will 
become a reality. 
It is the same white light that the Chris- 
tian Scientists use when they see their pa- 
tients enveloped in it, they will call it 
(God's) presence. In this they are correct 
from their point of view, for we know God 
is Omnipresence. In Occultism 'this is 
called Akasha, of which ether is its gross- 
est form. 
The patient will often have a feeling of 
warmth on the center you are concentra- 
ing upon. You may also use this white 
light to see the patient enveloped in it. 
While you are doing this always take a 
few deep breaths through the nostrils, 
slowly, without straining yourself. How- 
ever, if the healer is ruptured he should not 
practice deep breathing. 
For magnetising water, the healer holds 
a half wine glass of water in his left hand. 
He swings his right hand, backwards and 
forwards for a few minutes, until he feels 
18 CONCENTRATION 
a tingling sensation in his finger tips. 
Then he makes downward passes over the 
glass and wills that his magnetism flow 
therein. The patient may then drink it 
slowly. This often has a very stimulating- 
effect. 
Another good stimulant is to make down- 
ward passes over the patient with your 
fingers open, (not stiff). When bringing 
the hands up turn the palms towards you. 
If not, you take the magnetism from the 
patient again. By placing your right hand 
on the patients head, and your left on the 
sole of the feet, (which is the electric 
center) great benefits may be derived. 
This sends a magnetic sensation through 
the patient. 
One must be very careful in choosing 
his magnetic healer, for the healer actually 
projects part of his life fluid into his 
patient. This life fluid carries the faults 
and frailties of the healer. This fluid 
which circulates the nerves may be very 
easy for a sensitive person to take on the 
19 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
faults of the healer. One's character may 
even be changed. 
Hypnotism or Mesmerism, should never 
be used at any time for curing diseases, un- 
less it is for a necessary surgical operation. 
Then it must be done by a competent op- 
erator. Hypnotism or Mesmerism, if con- 
tinually practiced on a sick person, weak- 
ens their power of resistance and the sick 
man may become a slave to the operator. 
Even after the man has passed from the 
physical body Hypnotism may effect his 
will power. Beware of Hypnotism or Mes- 
merism for healing purposes. 
20 PART II. 
CONSCIOUS AND SUB-CONSCIOUS 
MIND 
The nature of the mind of man may be 
said to be related to three states of con- 
sciousness, viz.: Super-consciousness, Self 
or waking consciousness, and Sub-con- 
sciousness. 
This does not mean to infer that man 
has three minds, but that these various 
states of consciousness are co-existent. 
The Super-conscious state is that which 
is above Self or waking consciousness. 
From the Super-conscious regions comes 
the impulses which are sometimes called 
the promtings of geniuses. 
The Self or waking consciousness is that 
which we find in or through the brain. 
You are reading this Book, therefore your 
consciousness is centered on that which is 
before you. In this Self-conscious state 
there is a vast difference between the 
genius and the street sweeper. The same 
21 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
thing might be presented to both, but the 
power of perceiving the qualities of that 
which is presented would depend on the 
education, or evolution, of the faculties of 
each for perceiving them. 
The Sub-conscious is the state behind 
consciousness. The Sub-conscious mind is 
the store house for all actions of the past, 
good, bad and indifferent. In fact it may 
be said to be a real entity and that we feed 
and nourish it with our conscious thoughts. 
If our conscious thoughts are negative, 
such as fear, doubt, disease, worry, and "I 
can't," we are paving the way for mental, 
physical and spiritual retrogression. 
We are the makers and directors of our 
own destiny according to the thoughts we 
harbor in consciousness. We cannot es- 
cape our creations, for like an obedient 
servant, the sub-conscious mind will carry 
out the thoughts of the conscious mind. 
Everything we think of consciously passes 
on to the Sub-conscious mind, and we bring 
it out into physical manifestation. 
The Sub-conscious mind is also the con- 
22 CONSCIOUS AND SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND 
troller of the involuntary actions and func- 
tions of the human body, by way of the 
sympathetic nervous system. The entire 
process of nutrition, including digestion 
and assimilation, etc., also the process of 
elimination and circulation, are under the 
control of the Sub-conscious mind. 
As our food is digested and assimilated 
for tissue and cell building, it is carried to 
all parts of the body, where it is absorbed 
by the cells and used to replace the worn- 
out material. The latter is then carried 
out to the veins and lungs, where the waste 
matter is burned up, and the remains sent 
through the arteries and resharged with 
life-giving energies. All these processes, 
and many more, are under the direct con- 
trol of the Sub-conscious mind. 
The Sub-conscious mind is not confined 
to the brain, to any of the plexuses, or to 
the nervous system, but extends to every 
part of the body, to every nerve, muscle, 
cell, and group of cells in the entire body. 
The nervous functions of the human 
body are the results of certain actions of 
23 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
some kind or degree, therefore they are 
analyzed or classified as Sub-conscious 
mind. 
The Sub-conscious mind does not extend 
its activities to the brain alone. The brain 
cells are that mechanism of the mind 
which expresses the sum total of our con- 
scious existence, whereas the Sub-consci- 
ous mind is in the entire physical body. 
There is mind in every organ, nerve, and 
muscle in the physical body. In short an 
Occultist knows that man not only has a 
physical body, but that he also has an 
astral and a mental body. This mental or 
mind body acts as a vehicle for thought, 
and thus it is distributed to every cell of 
the make up of man. It carries out the 
thoughts and Sub-conscious suggestions of 
an individual, and is also subject to the 
suggestions of other people as well. 
When we realize that the Sub-conscious 
mind is the controller of our bodies, and 
accepts as truth, the conscious or uncon- 
scious suggestions of its owner, as well as 
the suggestions from others, we begin to 
24 CONSCIOUS AND SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND 
comprehend the effects of mind cure, faith 
cure, and other mental Therapeutic meth- 
ods of healing. 
The Sub-consciousness is the sum total 
of all our thoughts and feelings and of all 
the mutual activities of the mind from 
infancy. 
Before you can clearly comprehend the 
Sub-conscious mind, it must be understood 
that mental forces organize into concrete 
forms on the mental plane, just as physical 
forces aggregate themselves into material 
forms on the physical plane. 
The mind, then, is a mental body. It is 
an intensifying power. It is the sum total 
of the character of a person, and just as 
soon as it becomes a positive character, it 
changes the hereditary form of the flesh, 
to express its own development. 
This explains why negative and weak- 
minded people are always subject to dis- 
ease and imaginary ailments. A negative 
mind has not the power to transform the 
flesh, therefore it is the duty of the self- 
healer to develop a firm, positive attitude 
25 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
of mind by positive affirmation. This can 
be developed by mental or verbal auto-sug- 
gestions. 
When a thought or idea has been ex- 
pressed by the conscious mind, it still ex- 
ists in minute form in the Chitta (Thought 
waves of the mind). The more powerful 
the suggestions the more lasting the effect 
and the quicker the cure. 
Your conscious mind has dominion over 
the flesh, and by limiting your beliefs, you 
cause most of your bodily ailments. 
All your past thinking has formed your 
present mind body, which now governs 
your physical organism and it must be re- 
generated and transformed into a positive 
concrete form which will eliminate all that 
is a detriment to your physical, mental and 
spiritual well-being. 
The Sub-conscious mind is the governor 
and controller of all the vital processes of 
the physical body. The mental and verbal 
suggestions, truly and firmly established in 
the Sub-conscious mind, are the seeds 
which will become manifest in the physical 
26 CONSCIOUS AND SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND 
body. However, this change of mind can- 
not be brought in a day, for our old 
thoughts die hard. This change can be 
gradually brought about by continued sug- 
gestion, education and growth. 
You are as unlimited and negative as 
your source, and you can think yourself 
into higher, grander, and loftier expres- 
sions for expressing more life. When this 
state is attained you will feel the subtle re- 
building works of Him in Whom we live, 
move, and have our being. 
The following quotation from Doctor 
Scofield: "It has often been a mystery how 
the human body thrives so well with so 
little attention or care on the part of its 
owner. 
"NO machine could be so constructed, 
nor could any combinations of liquids in 
organic compounds, regulate, control, coun- 
teract, help, hinder or arrange for the con- 
tinual succession of different events, such 
as food, surroundings, and the conditions 
which are continually effecting the body, 
and yet in the midst of this ever changing 
27 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
and varying successions of influences, the 
body holds on to its course growth, health, 
nutrition and self-maintenance with the 
most marvelous persistency. 
"This regulation, control, governing, etc., 
can only be traced to the mental power of 
the mind. In other words, it is nothing 
else than the tremendous powers of the 
Sub-conscious mind which controls, guides 
and governs the functions of the human 
body." 
Upon the activities of the Sub-conscious 
mind, depends all the processes of physical 
life. 
When we study the influences which the 
mental has upon our physical conditions 
then the truth dawns upon us that our 
physical conditions are merely the reflec- 
tions of the mind. We therefore arrive 
at this profound truth: that all disease of 
the flesh is the result of an uneasy mind. 
Either by the direct influence of some 
negative person, who can only see dis- 
aster in everything, or by the negative 
mode of our own daily life. It is within 
28 CONSCIOUS AND SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND 
the grasp of all to strengthen their mind 
and thereby eliminate fear, doubt, and 
disease of all kind. 
In the Sub-conscious mind are the hidden 
agents which heal (the sum total of our 
conscious thoughts) but these must be 
trained towards the healing of the body. 
There are two methods whereby the Sub- 
conscious mind may be trained to heal. 
First, the method applied by the drug doc- 
tor. When taking the drug you believe in 
the medicine, plus the personality of the 
doctor. Your belief is the cure. It creates 
the condition in the Sub-conscious mind, 
which is the true healer. 
The drug may stop the sensation of pain, 
but it will not cure the cause, and the sys- 
tem will be weakened in its efforts to throw 
off the poison. The doctor cannot cure you 
if you do not believe in him. 
The second method is by the conscious 
and continual denial of that which ails 
you, whereby the Subconscious mind is 
trained and educated to turn its dormant 
powers to the healing and rebuilding of 
29 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
the diseased parts of the body. This 
method, if persistently applied, will elim- 
inate many physical and mental ailments. 
If the person suggesting believes that 
there is nothing deeper than his Self-con- 
scious mind, he will, by repeated sugges- 
tions, reach the very depth of his being 
the self or I Am. The I Am is the very 
foundation of our being upon which we 
build our mental habitation. 
We affirm, "I Am life," because our soul 
is eternal life. We affirm, "I Am health, 
peace and perfection," because the real "I," 
the true individual, the Self, is potentially 
the health and perfection of the Deity. 
30 PART III. 
MENTAL THERAPEUTICS 
The part Mental Therapeutics plays in 
healing diseases borders on the realm of 
the miraculous. It is simply the operation 
of one mind over another. It is based on 
the knowledge that minds are not distant 
and separate, but are united by one Uni- 
versal Mind (God), of which each individ- 
ual unit is an organized part. Man's mind 
and the Great Universal Mind is one. 
We are all living in a great sea of vi- 
brating mind. The body is held in active 
organization by the mind. Mind is the or- 
ganizing power. Every cell in the body is 
a particle of mind substance. The cells of 
flesh are the bodies of thought. Every cell 
in the body is thought incarnate. The or- 
gans, which are made up of a great multi- 
tude of cells, can be controlled by the posi- 
tive mind of the individual. They can be 
changed by constructive thoughts so that 
the cells and organs will progress to a de- 
31 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
gree of intelligence and manifest health 
and strength as the individual becomes 
more and more conscious of the tremen- 
dous power of mind over matter. 
Thought infused into the flesh makes it 
healthy and strong so it will resist disease 
of its own volition. Every action of the 
body is caused by the mind. There is a 
living force or energy in thought. We 
know that mind and matter are interde- 
pendent. Mind can and does control matter. 
We can consciously and intelligently direct 
the forces of our thoughts to any organ 
in the body and so change the cells or or- 
gans with these positive thoughts to elimi- 
nate all impurities. 
Man's mind and the great Universal 
Mind is one. The golden reel is his 
thoughts. As these instruments, called 
thoughts, reach out towards the apparent- 
ly undifferentiated sea of Universal Mind, 
and there, with the thought line links itself, 
it then creates through suggestion and rec- 
ognition, the most of our manifested en- 
vironment. 
32 MENTAL THERAPEUTICS 
By identifying ourselves with the quali- 
ties which radiate from Divine Mind, and 
offering it to our own being as the quantity 
that belongs to all intelligences, we will 
build up a positive, constructive force of 
mind, that will in time overcome every neg- 
ative condition of the body. 
The mind may in this way be trained to 
have a strong and substantial faith in its 
own powers. The more we persistently 
affirm what we know to be true the more 
positive and powerful our faith becomes. 
If we earnestly and persistently plant the 
seeds of power, health, etc., and have per- 
fect confidence that in time these seeds will 
bring wholesome fruitage, the powers of 
the truly constructive mind are impartial 
and will operate and accomplish that which 
we are desirous of achieving. 
There is a great power stored in the 
mental spaces all about and within the 
mind of man; far more powerful than elec- 
tricity. And this power is being redis- 
covered and applied in suggestion and 
thought transference, to restore to normal 
33 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
harmony the mental, emotional and 
physical bodies of those who are ailing. 
There is more intelligent activity going 
on in the body than we are conscious of. 
All the involuntary actions of the body, 
such as the beating of the heart and the 
circulation of the blood. Every action of 
the various sub-brains or nerve plexuses 
located in every part of the body are car- 
ried on by the instinctive operation of the 
mind. There is a tremendous amount of 
intelligence in these little cells. They are 
very sensitive to suggestion and as we 
gradually gain control over these sub- 
conscious centers of mental activity we in 
time gain dominion over the whole body. 
It is also important for us to know that 
we grow like that which we think or study. 
As the Master said: "As a man thinketh 
in his heart, so is he." 
To Give Mental Treament 
The mental healer places his patient in 
a chair or reclining couch, bidding him to 
be as restful and receptive as possible. 
Bidding the patient to be mentally calm; 
34 MENTAL THERAPEUTICS 
holding thoughts of peace, receptivity, etc., 
creates harmony in the mental, emotional 
and physical bodies. The mental healer 
stands a few feet behind his patient and 
produces by suggestion to the receptive 
mind of the patient the condition he is de- 
sirous of eliminating or creating. 
It is most essential that the mental 
healer has a consciousness of the keynote 
to which the patient vibrates. The chances 
of the right keynote being struck, he at- 
tunes his mind to that of the patient, using 
powerful suggestions of health, such as "I 
am implanting in your receptive conscious- 
ness the seeds of health which will become 
manifest. You are perfect. You are well. 
The ailment has left you." Here name the 
ailment and also the patient's name. 
As the healer creates and uses these 
mental suggestions he sees the ailment 
leaving the patient and visualizes him in 
perfect health. 
"The Mental Scientist," says Anna Be- 
sant, "needs, in order to give proper treat- 
ment, not only concentration of thought 
35 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
and physiological knowledge, but clairvoy- 
ance as well. If he is treating a gunshot 
wound in the hand he needs to see exactly 
what the corresponding muscle in the pa- 
tient's other hand looks like, in order that 
he may make in his own mental body a per- 
fect mental picture of it. After he has 
done this he projects that picture into the 
brain of the patient." The vibration thus 
set up runs down the nervous tract to the 
seat of the injury and thus is built up a 
perfect picture of the healthy tissue, first 
in astral mater, then in etheric matter and 
finally the body itself builds in the dense 
particles of physical matter which are 
required for the restoration of the muscles 
to complete the tissue. The healer must 
supply the model. Nature does the 
rest. 
The Mental Scientist or self-healer, who 
comprehends the different states of mind 
and its power, knows that each concen- 
trated thought creates a form in the psy- 
chic atmosphere. Thoughts are real enti- 
ties and when infused with life they can be 
seen by one who is clairvoyant. They may 
36 MENTAL THERAPEUTICS 
be sent on an errand of mercy or destruc- 
tion. Intelligent and powerful thought 
force inter-penetrates space and con- 
sciously or unconsciously controls the men- 
tal vehicle of the receptive patient. When 
a mental treatment is acknowledged by the 
patient as a reality, the most astonishing 
results often follow. Abundant proof of 
this may be found in daily life. 
Were it not for the power of imagina- 
tion many of the poisonous drugs given to 
the sick would send them to an early grave. 
The belief which the patient has in the 
drug creates (consciously or unconscious- 
ly) the mental picture of health sought for. 
Naturally the more faith there is the more 
important part it plays in the restoration 
of bodily health. 
Absent Treatment 
Absent treatment can be scientifically ex- 
plained by the use of Mental Telepathy. 
The same substance, air or ether, fills the 
so-called vacant space in which we exist. 
The ether acts as a vehicle for trans- 
mitting thoughts. The Mental Healer pro- 
37 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
ceeds the same way as if his patient were 
present. When the thoughts or sugges- 
tions leave the brain cells of the operator 
they vibrate in ether, according to the 
force of concentration. This etheric vibra- 
tion manifests or materializes in the bodily 
functions of the patient. 
The powerful thought waves started by 
the sender will find a resting place in the 
brain cells of the receptive patient. These 
thought forms enter the human organism 
by ways of the pineal gland. It is always 
best, when treating absently, to acquaint 
the patient as to the time you are going to 
treat him. Holding an article in your hand 
which the patient has worn, such as a ring 
or handkerchief, enables you to get in rap- 
port with your patient. Also a photograph 
of the sick person may be used. In such 
cases the healer proceeds in precisely the 
same way as though the patient were in 
the room. If possible, take the time when 
you think the patient's mind is unoccupied. 
If he is asleep, all the better. At such a 
time, sit down alone, or if there are others 
in the room there must be harmony and 
38 MENTAL THERAPEUTICS 
sympathy. Now picture, as vividly as pos- 
sible, the image of the patient sitting or 
standing in front of you. Then fix your 
attention on this image and firmly address 
it with all the earnestness and sincerity at 
your command, using the suggestion that 
he is getting better. 
If the patient is asleep, he will be drawn 
toward you in his astral body, for the spir- 
it must leave the body before there is any 
sleep. The astral body can be seen by the 
individual who has envolved his clairvoy- 
ant sight. Whether the healer can see 
clairvoyantly or not, the astral body of his 
patient will be drawn to him. 
Success depends upon the power of con- 
centration and steadfastness of thought. 
When the healer draws the astral body of 
his patient before him, as stated above, 
he proceeds to treat him for any ailment, 
just the same as if the patient were be- 
fore him in waking consciousness. In fact 
the healer can get better results when 
treating his patient in this manner, for the 
mind is more receptive in this condition 
39 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
than in waking consciousness. Great pre- 
caution should be taken not to influence 
the patient's will. 
Self Treatment 
Ill self treatment the person must hold 
the conscious thought, or fixed idea, of 
the condition he or she wishes to bring 
about. Example. Nervousness seems to 
be the prevailing ailment among the 
masses of today. This may be traced 
directly to worry and fear. Harboring 
such negative thoughts, naturally weakens 
a person mentally and physically. The 
first thing to be done by a person suffer- 
ing from nervousness is to start at once 
to cultivate thoughts of confidence, cour- 
age, strenght, hope peace, etc. 
40 PART IV. 
SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS. 
Suggestive Therapeutics must not be con- 
fused with Hypnotic Suggestion or Hyp- 
notism, the clangers of which I have 
warned my readers in the first of these 
lessons. 
In Suggestive Therapeutics, the treat- 
ments are given to the mind of the patient 
by means of verbal suggestions, which 
sometimes have more desirable effects on 
the patient than mental suggestions. 
The person sending the verbal sugges- 
tions must direct a positive thought force 
to the mind of his patient. The healer 
who has evolved his intuition will know 
how to proceed when giving, either ver- 
bal or mental suggestions. 
Suggestive Therapeutics means to im- 
plant into the receptive mind of your pa- 
tient, the condition which you may not be 
able to create in his mind by mental sug- 
41 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
gestion, which is based on the law of Men- 
tal Telepathy. 
Treatment 
The healer induces his patient to be very 
calm and quiet. The patient should also 
give his undivided attention, without how- 
ever, surrendering his self-will to the 
healer. The patient should be told to ac- 
cept, digest and assimilate the meaning of 
the words which are being suggested to 
him. The healer should assert all the pow- 
er of his feelings, earnestness and intensity 
into his voice. By so doing, he causes an 
intense vibration which can be felt by his 
patient. His tone should vibrate with all 
the intensity of his being, (without shout- 
ing, however). 
Healing by Suggestive Therapeutics can 
be evolved only by persistent practice on 
the part of the healer, who wishes to make 
use of this method of healing. 
The patient should be placed on an easy 
chair or couch, and made to relax men- 
tally, emotionally and physically. While in 
42 SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS 
this relaxed condition, have him close his 
eyes and hold the conscious thought of 
"I am peaceful, I am quiet, etc." In a 
short time these suggestions will have the 
desired effects. 
The healer should stand in front of his 
patient, and again and again suggest to 
him the thoughts he wishes to implant in 
his mind. For nervous breakdown the 
healer should begin in this way; ''Now 
Mrs. S. or Mr. S. (as the case may be), 
you are sitting and resting quietly; you 
are calm from head to foot; You are calm, 
restful and quiet. Your mind is quiet and 
composed, and you are allowing my healing 
suggestions to sink deep, and deeper into 
your subconscious mind." 
With the harmonious thoughts of the 
patient, co-operating with the vibrations 
set up by the healer, the vibratory cur- 
rents produced, will pass through the 
emotional, to the physical, and harmonize 
the whole body. Many nervous diseases 
and a large number of digestive troubles 
43 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
and disturbances of the circulation, may 
be cured by this method of treatment. 
In the treatment of different ailments, 
the healer should always make a mental 
picture of the condition he wishes to create 
in his patient. These mental pictures should 
be made while he is using some force- 
ful suggestions. In this way, the sub-con- 
scious mind is educated and influenced to 
turn its wonderful powers to the healing 
of the diseased parts of the body. 
If there is harmony and faith between 
the healer and his patient, and if this meth- 
od is persistently applied, it will bring 
about wonderful results. The process of 
suggestive thoughts, added to the force of 
the human will, can and does eliminate 
many diseases. 
The secret of this method of treatment 
lies in the thought behind the words. To 
whatever degree the thought is accepted, 
assimilated and digested by the patient, 
and by the healer adding to this his verbal 
44 SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS 
suggestions, (which has an added effect), 
in time the condition he wishes to create 
in the mind of his patient, will become 
manifest in the body. 
When giving a suggestive treatment the 
healer should never refer to the disease of 
which his patient is afflicted. His aim 
must be to draw his mind away from his 
ailment, and to ignore it as much as pos- 
sible. 
Never make a negative suggestion. 
For instance; never suggest or hold the 
conscious thought, such as, "You are look- 
ing poorly, or you look so sickly." Let 
your suggestions be: "How you have im- 
proved, or how well you look." Never 
repeat the name of the disease or the con- 
dition you wish to cure. By referring 
to the ailment, you direct the patient's 
attention to it, whereas your aim should 
be to have him deny it. Remember that 
the mind of a sick man is more receptive 
to that which ails him, and one sugges- 
45 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
tion made to his ailment, may do much 
harm. We little know the power of mind, 
or the far reaching effects of suggestion, 
consciously or unconsciously. 
I here quote a remarkable case of un- 
conscious suggestion: 
By Spectator, Chicago Herald Examiner, 
August 22, 1921. 
"A curious medical case recently occured 
in Europe. A certain Mr. L. who lived 
in a French village near the Pyrenees 
Mountains was bitten by a dog. The first 
thing that occurs to everyone in such an 
instance is that the animal is mad. This 
man, being of a very highly strung nature, 
was at once greatly alarmed. He was 
taken to the Pasteur Institute at Bordeaux 
for treatment, as the Pasteur method has 
a great reputation for preventing rabies. 
After a few days he was sent home, but 
fearing that he was not entirely cured, he 
returned to Bordeaux for further atten- 
tion. Again he was pronounced as being 
46 SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS 
fully recovered and sent back home. Then 
a few days later the paper announced he 
had died of rabies. 
He did die, but not of rabies. He was 
literally scared to death by his own un- 
controlled imagination. 
The dog was found to be free of any dis- 
ease, and it was proven that his bite could 
not have induced madness. The trouble 
with this man was that he was of a ner- 
vous temperament, aggravated by shell 
shock caused by the war. In this case the 
man became a prey to his own suggestions 
that he was afflicted with the rabies. He 
went mad, just the same way as he would 
have done had he really been inflicted with 
the rabies. 
A few days before his death, his face 
assumed a brutal expression. He would 
clap his jaws after the manner of a wild 
animal, growl and bark like a dog. He 
asked to be muzzled. The horrible obses- 
sion grew stronger in his impressionable 
47 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
mind and his will and reasoning powers 
were paralyzed before it, and at last he 
gave way to the paroxysm in which he 
died. 
The attending physician declared "that 
his death was wholly due to auto-sugges- 
tion." 
In the above statement it shows the tre- 
mendous powers of the mind, and how it 
may be utilized unconsciously for causing 
death. If man knew the power of con- 
scious mind over matter, and would con- 
stantly hold the reverse thought to that of 
disease, he would undoubtedly regain per- 
fect health. 
Self Suggestion 
As a man thinketh so he becomes. Much 
of pain and disease is the picture of 
negative thoughts and beliefs. Purity of 
thought, words and deeds are absolutely 
essential to physical and moral well-being. 
A man's physical health is largely due to 
his thoughts, plus his diet. 
Fear is one of the greatest causes of 
48 SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS 
disease. It may not be called a disease, 
but it really is the worst of all diseases. 
A fear thought will break down the phys- 
ical and mental organism quicker than a 
real disease. It paralyzes the will and 
leaves the individual with little power of 
resistance. 
A fear thought has been known to cause 
the hair to turn white in a single hour. 
With the added power of imagination, it 
may misform the bones of an unborn babe. 
It is also the cause of many contagious 
diseases. Cholera epidemics are believed 
to have been largely due to the fear of it. 
At times when epidemics of different con- 
tagious diseases have broken out among 
workers, those who had no fear of the 
disease, rarely, if ever, were stricken 
with it. 
By driving out thoughts of fear, you 
are removing one of the principal causes 
of disease. Self suggestion of thoughts of 
fearlessness, wTill create a new condition of 
mind. Fear thoughts can be counter-acted 
by the thoughts of "I am fearless" sug- 
49 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
gested daily, and as the individual breathes 
life into these suggestions, they will take 
form in action, and the expression of fear- 
lessness will be brought into physical man- 
ifestation. 
Every cell in the body responds to sug- 
gestions. By persistent suggestions to the 
Sub-conscious mind, in time every cell and 
organ in the body, will take on the con- 
ditions which you have commanded of it. 
Methods for Self Treatments 
The first requisite of the self healer is 
faith, Paul said: "Faith is the substance 
of the thing desired." The person who 
believes he can cure himself, for him the 
battle is half won. By applying strong men- 
tal suggestions of "I am perfect health, I 
am health. My body is perfect, etc.," we 
will in time create the desired results. By 
sitting in the silence for ten or fifteen min- 
utes daily and affirming the condition you 
wish to create, in a short time you will 
realize that which you desire. Suggest 
the germ of peace and perfect repose into 
every cell of your body. It is within your 
50 SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS 
power to control every cell organ and 
muscle, and bid them to be at peace, per- 
fect peace. If this method is faithfully 
followed, and persistently applied, it will 
bring about marvelous results. 
Constipation 
Great benefits can be realized by mas- 
saging the body back and front with the 
hands, while holding the conscious thought 
of, "My bowels are active, active; they 
will move." And here you should name 
a certain hour. Drinking a liberal quan- 
tity of water and eating soft foods is also 
very beneficial. 
In the morning, while lying flat on your 
back, move the limbs in the same manner 
as though you were riding a bicycle. In 
many cases this exercise will cause the 
bowels to move almost immediately. This 
exercise should not be done too vigorously; 
a minute or two is sufficient. 
Deny Mental Weakness 
Deny the imperfect and affirm the per- 
fect. Man is the creator of his body, and 
51 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
he builds and repairs it with his conscious 
and sub-conscious thoughts. The human 
battery of mental energy may generate 
thoughts which can be constructive or des- 
tructive to the human organism. Destruc- 
tive thoughts, such as anger, jealousy, hat- 
red, envy, etc., produce negative forces. 
They transform the food elements into 
poisonous compounds. Scientific tests have 
proved this. All the destructive thoughts 
must be cleansed from the mind by affirm- 
ing thoughts of truth, love, and life. Con- 
structive thoughts are creative. By deny- 
ing all our old habits which we know to 
be a detriment, we create a force which 
dissolves from the sub-conscious and con- 
scious mind, all the negative, destructive 
forces, which cause inharmony and create 
mental discord. 
The best results are attained by con- 
stantly denying old conditions. Suggest 
earnestly and persistently the conditions 
you are desirous of creating. As you 
use these silent auto-suggestions, breathe 
life into them. At first they will disturb 
the mental mechanism of the mind and this 
52 SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS 
will cause a gloomy condition for a short 
time. But as these strong denials are 
followed up with powerful, constructive, 
peaceful, and harmonious affirmations, a 
perfect condition of mind will become 
manifest. 
Cases of painful menstruation are often 
regulated by persistent auto-suggestions by 
the patient. Example: Let the patient con- 
centrate her mind upon the time when men- 
struation should occur. About two weeks 
before the Tegular time, let her daliy affirm 
of the day and hour upon which menstru- 
ation should occur. Let her suggest to her- 
self every night upon retiring, that the fol- 
lowing day is going to bring her nearer 
to the condition she desires. Extremely 
stubborn cases may not yield to this method 
of treatment the first month, but by repeat- 
ing the suggestions persistently daily 
makes a deeper impression on the sub-con- 
scious mind, and the sub-conscious mind 
will in time accept the idea or picture and 
convey it to the mechanism of the Self 
(which is sometimes called the Corporal 
Menstruation 
53 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
mind), and this passes the desired condi- 
tions to the organs and mind cells connec- 
ted with that particular part of the body 
which will create normal conditions. Self 
suggestions may be used for curing any 
ailment of the body, either mental or phys- 
ical. 
These positive thoughts, when affirmed 
with confidence and sincerity (not parrot 
like,) will grow rapidly and will invariably 
crowd out the foul negative weeds of the 
mind. If we practice for a time a certain 
line of positive constructive thoughts, and 
with constant use of proper Auto-sugges- 
tions or affirmations, there will grow within 
one's mind the strongest and hardiest kind 
of positive thoughts and in time the mind 
will be attuned of its own volition auto- 
matically dispelling the negative thoughts. 
For Stomach Trouble 
If your stomach is weak, think (from the 
very center of your being) of a strong 
stomach able to digest and assimilate your 
food and to convert it into material, which 
will enter the circulation as rich and nour- 
54 SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS 
ishing blood, which will be carried to all 
parts of your system. 
When eating you may consciously try to 
direct the food with your thoughts. Think 
that it is going directly to the effected 
parts and healing you. The food may have 
its curative effect if the proper kind is 
eaten. What you are really doing is direct- 
ing the mind and you will often get better 
results in this way. Think of your stomach 
as being strong; carry the idea of strength 
in your mind and fairly drive it into your 
stomach to rebuild and strengthen the 
weak organs or parts of your body. You 
must also picture to yourself the condition 
you wish to bring about. 
The organs or parts of the body will 
gradually develop into the condition pic- 
tured in the mind. Mentally see your body 
as you wish it to become. Day after day 
hold the same mental picture. Never 
change the picture. Once the perfect im- 
age has been formed, adhere to that image 
as you have created it in the mind. Re- 
member that every picture you have 
55 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
planted and created in your mind, takes 
form in action, and your body responds 
to your thoughts. 
In self treatment, or in treatment of 
others, you will find it very beneficial to 
treat the diseased organs as though they 
possessed intelligence. Think of them as 
if they understood you. Suggest to them 
earnestly, that they will respond. With a 
little practice and patience, they will re- 
spond to your earnest command. At first 
they will rebel, do to the powerful thought 
vibrations sent from your mind to the 
afflicted organs, but by repeated affirma- 
tions the truly awakened mind will gain 
dominion over them. 
Do not advertise your aches, pains and 
imaginary worries to your friends. Every 
time you do, you simply keep yourself in 
the same negative condition. There are 
some people who are never happy unless 
they are worrying, and in a miserable, 
morbid state of mind. They are the real 
dispensers of mental microbes. Their men- 
tal destructive germs enter the minds of 
56 SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS 
many weak minded mortals and cause ill 
health in many ways. 
They are very easily detected for they 
carry an atmosphere of gloom with them 
wherever they go. They always throw a 
feeling of depression over a crowd. To 
take away from their source of grief would 
be to make them most discontented, and un- 
happy, for they would have nothing to 
talk about. 
Their mind runs something like this: 
"I have a lot of trouble, 
But I wouldn't be without it, 
I find it such a comfort, 
To tell other folks about it." 
Do not be one of this kind. Daily, let 
your thoughts be of joy, peace, love and 
health, and. things will be better in general 
all around you. 
57 PART V. 
FASTING. 
There is a scientific reason for fasting. 
Before a patient undergoes a strenous fast, 
he should either take instructions from a 
competent Hygienest or from a physician 
who is in sympathy with fasting. 
Many deep seated diseases have been 
cured by scientific fasting. For a twenty- 
four hour fast, a million diseased cells will 
die and be carried away by the natural 
eliminating process of the bowels. 
Cancer, Diabetes, Chronic Dyspepsia, 
Paralysis, Stomach trouble, Rheumatism, 
etc. have been cured by scientific fasting 
and dieting. 
Hazzard says: "In treating the disease 
symptoms known as Menorrhagia or ex- 
cessive menstruation, a fast of two or 
three days will reduce the flow to nil, and 
in cases of foul painful menstruation per- 
manent relief can be obtained in less than 
58 FASTING 
twenty-four hours. Again he states: "It 
is necessary if the results obtained are to 
remain, that right living in the future is 
a positive guarantee of continued well- 
being." 
For ordinary diseases, a fast of forty- 
eight hours, once or twice a week will help 
nature to restore the patient quickly to 
normal conditions. During the fast, the 
patient must drink plenty of water, exer- 
cise in the sunshine, and do plenty of deep 
breathing through the nostrils only. How- 
ever, a person who is ruptured, should not 
practice deep breathing. 
Breathing exercise during a fast is of 
the utmost importance, for in the early 
stages of the fast, the patient may be sub- 
ject to dizziness, headaches, etc., Breathing 
through the nostrils will restore one to 
normal. 
While abstaining from food, it is most 
essential to keep the intestines clear, either 
by an enema or purging, as every organ of 
elimination works more rapidly and effect- 
ively, and the waste matter in the bowels 
59 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
should be eliminated so as to make way 
for the new material which is being dis- 
posed of. 
It is thought by some, that once the food 
supply is cut off no superfluous matter 
will be disposited. This is an error, for 
during the fast nature is continually throw- 
ing off dead or decayed matter, and for 
this reason, an enema should be taken 
daily. 
Many people are afraid to fast at first, 
because of physical weakness, but I can 
assure my readers that a scientific fast 
under the direction of a competent Hy- 
gienest or Doctor will not weaken the 
patient. 
Others again believe that fasting is close- 
ly allied with starvation but this is not so. 
There are more people die from over eating 
than from abstainance. 
Dr. G. Guclpa, of Paris, says: "There is 
no danger or no serious inconvenience in 
abstaining entirely from food for three or 
four days, or even a longer period." 
The period of abstainance may also be 
60 FASTING 
repeated several times without any risk or 
inconvenience, if each day a large dose of 
purgatives is taken to insure against intes- 
tinal infection. There may be some slight 
discomfort felt during the period of ab- 
stainance, but this never persists after food 
has been resumed. 
When the fast is broken, the patient al- 
ways feels better, physically and mentally, 
for the body has scientifically eliminated 
all that was impure, with very little risk 
(if any.) 
The reason why many deep seated dis- 
eases are not cured by scientific fasting, is 
because the patient breaks the fast before 
the disease is unrooted. 
As an example: Suppose a fast of twelve 
days is required to effect a cure of Catarrh, 
and the patient breaks the fast at the ex- 
piration of six days with the impression 
that he has fasted long enough. After the 
fast isz broken, the Catarrh, or any other 
malady, for which he had fasting will 
61 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
be benefited only in proportion to the time 
he has fasted, and a complete cure will not 
be accomplished. 
Nature will dictate to the patient when 
it is time to break the fast. When the nat- 
ural feeling of hunger returns, it will be 
noticed, first, that the eyes sparkle and 
are very brilliant; second, the breath has 
lost its offensive and heavy odor; third, 
the tongue loses its heavy thick coating 
and assumes a healthy pink or red color. 
The tongue will only have this healthy 
color when nature is ready and willing 
to digest and assimulate nutriment in the 
form of either liquid or solid food. 
The habit of taking the least little mouth- 
full of either solid or liquid food, must be 
absolutely refrained from, because it stops 
the thorough cleansing process of nature, 
which is most essential for returning the 
patient to normal health. It is also a 
waste of vital energy. The same energy 
which is used for eating and assimulating 
could be used for staving off hunger, 
62 FASTING 
strengthening the will and unrooting the 
disease. 
Sometimes a prolonged fast will develop 
unusual symptoms, such as dizziness, pain 
or cramps, insomnia, etc. This is due to 
nature's method of restoring equilibrium. 
These unusual symptoms, can be greatly 
subdued by a little knowledge and atten- 
tion. 
For instance: The patient's feverish 
condition, which generally sets in at the be- 
ginning of a fast, is an indication that 
Nature is rapidly eliminating all impure 
elements with which the system is clogged. 
As Nature eliminates the accumulation of 
decayed organic matter, it causes an in- 
crease of circulation: This increase, to- 
gether with the activity of the body, causes 
the feverish condition to set in. Should 
the patient be subject to fainting spells, it 
does not necessarily mean that the faint- 
ing is caused by the fast. It may be 
caused from lack of blood in the brain, and 
this-will cause fainting at any time. 
63 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
In some cases the patient requires less 
sleep, during a fast, than ordinarily. This 
however is not the case with everyone for 
I have known of cases where the patient 
has slept better during a fast than before. 
There is no reason for uneasiness if the 
patient looses two or three hours sleep 
during the fast. 
Treatment for Fainting 
Lay the patient flat on his back; with 
the head a little lower than the feet. Open 
all windows and allow as much fresh air as 
possible to circulate through the room. 
Loosen all tight clothing, and gently man- 
ipulate the body. 
Treatments for Headaches 
Breathing exercise in the open usually 
stops a headache. If this does not stop it, 
try some of these simple suggestion. Bathe 
the face in cold water or place the face in 
a basin of cold water, inhale the water 
through the nostrils and allow it to pass 
out through the mouth, massaging the back 
of the neck, or a good sleep will always 
cure headache. 
64 FASTING 
Treatment for Insomnia 
Have the patient lie flat on his back in 
bed, and breathe deeply and slowly, using 
suggestions of peace or any other sugges- 
tions which will have a quieting and sooth- 
ing effect; a hot water bottle applied to the 
feet if they are cold; a wine glass of hot 
water upon retiring; a lukewarm sponge 
bath followed by a cold sponge. Any of 
these simple suggestions will in time cure 
insomnia. 
Treating for Vomiting 
Vomiting, which sometimes sets in at 
the beginning of a fast, should be treated 
as follows: Give the patient a liberal 
amount of hot water, place hot applica- 
tions at the pit of the stomach, and Nature 
will do the rest. 
Kneeding of the parts where the pain is 
located, hot applications, followed by a 
drink of water, will bring about satisfac- 
tory results. 
65 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
TREATMENTS FOR CRAMPS 
Pain or Palpitation of the Heart 
This is often caused from gases in the 
stomach. A little physical exercise, such 
as bending will help to eliminate the gases. 
Also a drink of hot water, and breathing 
exercises, will generally restore one to nor- 
mal conditions. If not break the fast. 
How to Break the Fast 
To break a fast it is best to commence 
with fruit juices, such as oranges, grapes, 
etc. Great care must be taken when about 
to break a prolonged fast period. The 
patient should be given only liquids the 
first day, such as vegetable soups. The 
broth has all the combined strength of the 
vegetables. The second day they should 
be given a half handful of popcorn freshly 
popped without salt or butter. Let the 
patient eat the popcorn slowly, masticating 
it well before swallowing; whole wheat 
soaked in water over night then slowly 
66 FASTING 
parch a small quantity. Then ordinary 
light meals the following day. 
This precaution is only necessary when 
breaking a prolonged fast of from ten to 
fifteen days duration. In an ordinary fast 
of two to four days, the fast may be broken 
with an ordinary meal, without gorging 
yourself, however. 
67 PART VI. 
BREATHING. 
Pure air when inhaled normally, contains 
twenty-one percent of oxygen, and twelve 
percent when exhaled, having lost 9%. 
When oxygen comes in contact with the 
blood a form of combustion takes place. 
The blood absorbs oxygen, the oxygen ex- 
pells the carbonic acid gas generated from 
the waste matter, and produces a poison- 
ous matter, which has been gathered up by 
the blood from all parts of the system, in 
its circulation through the body. The 
blood, thus purified by the fresh pure air, 
is a great asset to our physical well being. 
Proper breathing produces a clear, 
bright complexion. Those who breath 
properly do not readily catch cold,and they 
generally have plenty of warm blood, 
which enables them to comfortably resist 
the changes in temperature. 
One of the first lessons to be learned, is 
68 BREATHING 
how to breath through the nostrils. The 
organs of respiration have their dust col- 
lectors, in the nostrils. When the breath 
is drawn in through the mouth there is no 
protection from the mouth to lungs. 
This unnatural mouth breathing habit, 
also admits the cold air in the respiratory 
organs. Many contagious diseases, such 
as colds, catarrh, and lung trouble, are 
contracted by the thoughtless method of 
mouth breathing. 
When the breath is taken through the 
nostrils, the air is warmed and purified 
before it enters the lungs. The nostrils are 
filled with mucus membrane, with which 
the cold air comes in contact and thereby 
it is warmed. Hence it cannot effect the 
organs of the throat or lungs. 
First Exercise 
Stand in the open, or before an open 
window. Keep the mouth closed and in- 
hale through both nostrils, filling the lungs 
to their fullest capacity without straining, 
however. (GREAT PRECAUTION MUST 
69 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
BE TAKEN IN PRACTICING DEEP 
BREATHING.) Many people who practice 
deep breathing, have not been warned of 
its many dangers. To practice too stren- 
uously at first, will cause internal bleeding. 
A person who is ruptured, should never 
practice deep breathing. 
The person who follows this exercise 
religiously and sanely, will derive great 
benefits therefrom. The beginner should 
inhale while mentally counting four, re- 
tain while counting four, then exhale 
through the nostrils. When exhaling, 
draw in the abdomen, as near as possible 
towards the spine, always starting from 
below. The exhaling should be slow and 
easy without any jerks. The holding of 
the breath may be increased from 6 to 
8-10-12-15-, etc. Each week gradually in- 
crease from five to fifteen or twenty min- 
utes daily. 
Second Exercise 
Stand erect, shoulders well back. Close 
the right nostril with the thumb of the 
right hand. 
70 BREATHING 
Inhale through the left nostril while 
counting six. Then close the left nostril 
with the forefinger and exhale slowly 
through the right nostril. Then with the 
right nostril closed, inhale through the 
left and vice versa. The counts may be 
increased as directed in the first exercise. 
This exercise, when practiced properly, de- 
velopes the chest. If every one would prac- 
tice this daily, there would not be so much 
consumption. Nearly all consumptives are 
narow chested. 
Morning Exercise 
Before starting this exercise, it is well 
to take a glass of water, then stand before 
an open window; inhale the pure air, 
while raising the arms to a horizontal pos- 
ition with the shoulders; keep the fingers 
rigid, palms down; raise upon the balls 
of the feet; inhaling a little more air; 
while in this position, lift the arms up and 
down; you will be able to inhale a little 
more air each time you raise the arms up. 
When you find you have retained all the 
air you can conveniently inhale, exhale 
71 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
slowly. Do this a few times. Stand firmly 
on the floor, and while holding the indrawn 
breath, drop the hands to the sides, bend 
the body from the waist line, first to the 
right, then forward, then to the left, then 
backwards; do this a few times before 
exhaling. 
Exercise for Improving the 
Circulation 
This exercise should be taken in your 
own room when you are sure you will not 
be disturbed. 
Lie down flat on your back. Relax and 
let go of every nerve tension of your body. 
Breathe deeply while suggesting peace 
mentally until you have attained a calm 
peaceful state of mind and body. Breathe 
slowly and deeply, and let the breathing 
be in harmony with your thought sugges- 
tions as I will direct you. Place the hands 
lightly on each temple, close your eyes and 
have that conscious realization that you 
are directing the forces in your brain and 
sending them to all parts of your body. 
72 BREATHING 
By the increased circulation, rapidly fol- 
lowing the nerve current, brought about by 
the slow rhythmic breathing, and with the 
added powers of the conscious thought, di- 
rected by the will, you will soon become 
conscious of a power which you will use 
advantageously. Now bring the hands 
down to the bronchial center, the throat 
front; then slowly down to the Solar Plex- 
us, resting here a moment or two. Then sit 
up and gradually pass the hands down the 
lower parts of the body; the hands touch- 
ing the body merely as a directing force or 
guide. Doing this from three to six times 
constitutes an exercise. 
Walking Exercise 
With shoulders and chest well back, the 
head in an easy upright position, inhale a 
slow breath through the nostrils while 
counting, mentally, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Retain 
the breath while counting six. In this exer- 
cise the number may also be increased with 
time and practice. The exhaling should be 
slow and easy; practice approximately for 
73 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
five minutes, then rest, and continue at 
your leisure without tiring yourself. 
Sitting Exercise 
Sit on the floor and stretch the limbs 
straight in front of you. Hold the great 
toes with both hands without bending the 
knees; having accomplished this, touch the 
knees with the forehead. Do this five or 
six times. This exercise arouses gastric 
fire and has a tendency to make the loins 
lean and eliminate many diseases. 
Place the hands firmly on the ground or 
floor; support the weight of the body upon 
the elbows; bring them against the sides 
of the body, then stretch the feet above the 
ground, keeping the limbs stiff and straight 
on a level with the head. This exercise 
cures diseases of the spleen, liver and stom- 
ach. It also increases digestion and cures 
indigestion. 
Exercises for Stimulating the Nerves 
Stand erect, chest out and head well 
back, inhale a long deep breath, and retain 
it as long as possible without causing dis- 
74 BREATHING 
comfort. Now extend the hands straight 
in front of you, on a level with your chest, 
palms up; draw your hands towards your 
shoulders, putting force and energy into 
the movement, before they reach the 
shoulders as you gradually draw them to 
yoiL_ Do this until you feel it is time to ex- 
hale, then exhale through the nostrils 
slowly. 
Bring the hands down to the sides and 
do the same exercise over again for five 
minutes. 
Awakening the Dormant Lung 
Cells 
This exercise stimulates and strengthens 
the lung cells, many of which have been 
rendered useless through their non-use, 
caused by shallow or surface breathing. 
Stand erect before an open window, in- 
hale a full breath very slowly through the 
nostrils, and while inhaling, gently tap the 
chest in different parts, with the finger 
tips, at the same time holding the conscious 
75 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
thought that the cells will be awakened. 
The tapping of the fingers directs the mag- 
netism or vital force to the non-used cells. 
Hold the indrawn breath as long as possi- 
ble, without causing any discomfort, then 
exhale through the nostrils. Do this for 
five minutes. 
Abdominal Exercise 
This exercise will strengthen the muscles 
of the abdomen and also do away with su- 
perfluous fat. It will also enable the stu- 
dent to control the muscles of the abdo- 
men which is most efficient in deep, full 
breathing. By constantly developing the 
abdominal muscles, the waist line will de- 
crease. 
Exercise One 
Stand erect, inhale a full breath, while 
counting five. Hold the indrawn breath 
and draw in the muscle of the abdomen by 
contracting them. 
At first you must do this exercise slow 
and easy, then allow the abdomen to spring 
76 BREATHING 
back to its original position. Repeat a few 
times. 
Exercise Two 
Stand erect, in hale a full breath through 
the nostrils. While holding the breath, 
sway the upper part of the body from the 
waist line up, in a circular, rotating move- 
ment, while counting five. Do this for 
about three to five minutes. 
Exercise Three 
Stand erect, inhale a full breath. Touch 
the right toe with the right forefinger and 
the left toe with the left forefinger, and 
vice versa, while holding the breath, with- 
out bending the knees. Do this for from 
three to five minutes. 
77 PART VII. 
MEAT AND ITS EFFECTS 
It seems unbelievable that civilized man 
still continues to eat the corpse of animals 
for food. In spite of our boasted civiliza- 
tion, man has not evolved very far from 
his primitive habits. It has been scien- 
tifically and religiously proven that meat 
is unfit for human consumption. 
Meat is decayed animal matter. The 
process of decomposition begins soon after 
the life has left the body of the animal. 
You do not eat the life of the animal, you 
only eat the corpse. This corpse carries a 
certain percentage of the rate of vibration 
of the animal which once occupied it. 
When the animal is led to the slaughtering 
plant, it instinctively knows of its ap- 
proaching death. This knowledge or in- 
stinct creates a feeling of fear and timidity. 
After the life has left the body, the corpse 
still contains the vibration of timidity and 
78 MEATS AND ITS EFFECTS 
fear, plus decomposition. When you eat 
this decaying flesh, it becomes a part of 
your body. 
Our bodies are made up of millions of 
tiny cells. These cells are continually 
changing and rebuilding. Physically we 
are not the same two days in succession. 
Every cell of our body is subject to change. 
The hair and nails change quicker than 
any other part. The teeth require the 
longest time to effect a change. The food 
we eat replaces this waste matter, and if 
this food is diseased, and the decaying 
corpse of animals always are. Our bodies 
will take on the condition of the impurities 
which we put into our stomachs. Put- 
ting the cadaver on ice does not stop the 
process of decay, it only retards it. 
Certainly no one who recommends flesh 
for a diet, has ever given the subject any 
serious thought, because it is one of the 
most nauseating habits of modern society. 
The principle argument, of the lovers of 
the corpse eating habit, is that it gives 
79 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
the body strength and is necessary for 
those who perform manual labor. This 
argument is based on an erroneous opinion, 
because dead animal flesh does not give as 
much strength as a vegetarian diet. 
It has been scientifically proven that 
every element that enters into the composi- 
tion of animal flesh, is to be found in great- 
er abundance in the nut, fruit and vege- 
table kingdom. 
Some of the hardest physical laborers 
are exclusive vegetarians. In China and 
India, there are hundreds of thousands of 
Coolie laborers, who toil daily in the 
scorching sun, from twelve to eighteen 
hours, and their main diet conists of rice, 
nuts, fruits, and vegetables. 
H&rses, bulls, and elephants, are the 
strongest of animals, and they live on 
grains and vegetables. The prominent 
traits of the flesh eating animals, are cow- 
ardice irritability, and cunningness. 
A bear, belonging to a circus, was fed on 
bread and vegetables for a few days, as an 
experiment. During that time, it displayed 
80 MEATS AND ITS EFFECTS 
a gentle, quiet and playful disposition. A 
few days later it was again fed on flesh. 
Its strength did not increase, but instead it 
became vicious and extremely dangerous. 
Animal flesh as a diet, is the direct cause 
of many of the fashionable diseases with 
which the human race suffers in this pres- 
ent age of so-called civilization. Gluttony, 
extreme sensuality, physical and psychical 
apathy are also the consequences of over 
stimulation. 
Dr. Carl Loeb says: "If you eat meat 
and your digestion is impaired, your stom- 
ach may not be burdened from all the poi- 
sonous matter out of the "scavenger food" 
and some of the poison may leave your sys- 
tem without harming you. In order to 
avoid this, by all means eat soup. Soup 
will give you every drop of "urine in the 
meat, nothing wlil go to waste. If meat 
will not kill you, eat soup three times a 
day, seven times per week, and it will do 
the work." 
Flesh eating is simply a habit and from 
a scientific standpoint has nothing to up- 
81 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
hold it. On the other hand it is consid- 
ered injurious to the system, as I have 
pointed out. The destruction of animals 
for the use of food, includes in its detail 
so much cruelty, that anyone not utterly 
inhuman, shudders at the thought of it. 
If everyone had to do their own killing, 
if everyone had to plunge his own cold 
steel into the animal, either in reality or 
imagination, if everyone had to look at the 
last spasmodic move of the dying animal, 
I am sure the degrading habit of corpse 
eating would be unknown to civilization. 
Civilized man should remember that many 
of his so-called heathen brothers do not 
eat animal flesh. 
Many physicians are advocating the veg- 
etarian diet. They also agree that if a 
change is made, in time it will cure rheu- 
matism, scurvy, kidney troubles, tonsilitis, 
etc. 
Many cases of chronic diseases of long 
standing, caused either by drugs or flesh- 
poisoning, have been cured simply by sub- 
82 MEATS AND ITS EFFECTS 
stituting a strictly vegetarian diet, in place 
of flesh. The use of flesh food exhausts 
the vitality quickly, whereas vegetables 
builds it up. 
Statistics show that vegetarians are 
longer lived, stronger, and of a more gen- 
tle disposition than their flesh eating 
brothers, who are as a rule very pugna- 
cious and cruel. 
Another question which seems to have 
been forgotten in regards to the use of 
meat. Has man the right to kill animals 
for food? To the professed Christians, 
who claim to believe in their Bible, there 
seems to be little reason for doubt, as the 
command is plain: "Thou shall not kill." 
Still this command is disregarded daily 
by millions of Christians, who base their 
rights upon a misunderstood verse in the 
Bible which is: "God permitted man to 
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and 
over the fowl of the air, and over the cat- 
tle." When man kills the creatures of na- 
ture which are below him in the scale of 
83 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
evolution, his dominion over them is at an 
end. 
Man's work here is to hasten the process 
of life and not to retard it. 
And God said: "Behold, I have given 
you every herb bearing seed which is upon 
the face of the earth, and every tree in 
which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. 
To you it shall be for meat." (Gen. I, 26- 
I have endeavored to prove to you religi- 
ously and scientifically that animal food is 
unfit for human consumption. 
You will no doubt ask, "What shall I eat, 
and how can I retain my physical strenght 
on a vegetable diet?" My advice to you 
is to give it a trial before you condemn or 
denounce it. 
If you have been accustomed to eating 
animal flesh all your life, at first it will be 
difficult for you to adjust yourself to a 
strictly vegetarian diet without feeling 
some uncomfortable effects by the change. 
The change must be made gradually. Be- 
84 MEATS AND ITS EFFECTS 
gin by substituting daily, one meal of flesh, 
for one of vegetables. 
In a week or so, try doing without meat 
for a few days at a time, and continue in 
this way for several weeks. By so doing 
your system will become adjusted to this 
natural way of living, and once this is at- 
tained, you will never go back to the flesh 
eating habit. 
There are many people who make the 
fatal mistake, when trying to become veg- 
etarians, of getting into the habit of living 
on starchy foods. This is an error not gen- 
erally understood. You must not fail to 
retain your physical strength. And in 
order to do this, it is necessary that you 
eat plenty of green vegetables, such as 
spinach, celery, and all other green vege- 
tables you can possibly get. Also plenty 
of the various kinds of nuts and fruits. 
85 PART VIII. 
DRUGS. 
If we look for superstition we will find 
sufficient proof of it in the present method 
of medication. 
First, drugs are admittedly poison. 
Either they are poison per se, or they be- 
come poisonous simply from their presence 
within the organism. Any substance 
present within the organism, which is not 
a nutriment for tissue building, is a foreign 
substance and a poison, and as such, it can 
only damage the organs. 
Opium is more extensively employed in 
medicines than any other drug, because it 
is the most effective agent to allay pain. 
Pain is a blessing in disguise, and a warn- 
ing to return to nature's mode of living. 
Sickness and disease is a self imposed pen- 
alty for the violation of nature's simple 
physiological laws. 
Drugs silence the outcry of nature, and 
86 DRUGS 
suppress the symptoms rather than remove 
the cause. If a patient is in pain, a drug 
is administered and the symptoms subsides. 
We must not forget that the symptoms are 
really the effect and that the true cause 
still remains. Suppressions of pain, such 
as that offered by drugs is by no means a 
sure cure, since the cause is not removed. 
The symptoms are not the disease, but sim- 
ply an evidence that the body is diseased. 
It is a proven fact that every drug taken 
to suppress an acute ailment returns in a 
worse chronic form, resulting from the 
suppression of the disease or of the poison- 
ous drug. 
Drugs paralyze the sense of pain and 
suppress the eliminating and healing act- 
ivities of nature. By the introduction of 
a drug to suppress a disease, in most cases 
the effect turns out to be worse than the 
disease itself. This is sufficient proof that 
to administer a drug, is not only useless, 
but is highly dangerous and injurious to 
the system. 
It simply retards the cure until the dis- 
87 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
ease breaks out as something worse, or in 
a worse form of the same. To administer 
a drug is simply adding to the cause of 
the disease, for drugs always produce dis- 
ease. A poison cannot expell another poi- 
son. To add an impurity to the system, 
is simply to add a second or heavier burden 
for nature to throw off, which saps the 
patient's strength and vitality. As Doctor 
Bostock, author of "The History of Medi- 
cine," truthfully says: "Every dose of 
medicine is a blind experience upon the 
vitality of the patient." 
The masses are more or less hypnotized 
into the belief that the drugs of the All- 
opathic Doctors can cure. It is a primitive 
habit handed down from the stone age. 
What are drugs supposed to do? To 
cure the sick of their ailments, and with 
this sole object in view, the drugs are ad- 
ministered. The drug doctor bases his 
theory on the fact that disease is a thing 
to be eliminated or suppressed, or in some 
way effected by the drug. But when we 
come to a realization that disease is not 
88 DRUGS 
a thing or an entity, with which to fight 
or combat, but a warning, an effect which 
is in itself, the process of purifcation for 
getting well. 
Once this great truth is thoroughly 
grasped by medical men, medicine will get 
its proper deserts and be decently interred 
in a common grave. If the taking of grugs 
was the best method of restoring perfect 
health, doctors should be the healthiest in- 
dividuals on the face of the earth. It is 
a well known fact that they are not. They 
have no faith in their own poison, for when 
they are sick they call in another doctor 
to treat them. They also take money from 
patients they claim are incurable. 
As A. F. Reinhold P. H. D. M. D. beau- 
tifully illlustrates: "Ladies and gentlemen, 
I oppose this medical law, because it places 
the medical practice in the hands of the 
most incompetent class of professionals on 
the face of this earth. This is my first 
reason for objecting to it. Very many 
diseases the medical doctors do not pretend 
to cure. There are some they say no one 
89 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
can cure, and that means that they cannot." 
"Take consumption or cancer for an ex- 
ample. Can they cure it? They say no, 
because it is incurable; but if a person 
comes to them with consumption, they will 
take his case every time, and they will 
treat him as long as he has a dollar, and 
if they think he is going down a little too 
fast (which would not be healthy for them) 
they advise him to go to Florida or Cal- 
ifornia or Europe where he will die before 
he comes back. After they tell him he can- 
not be cured he goes to some one else and 
gets well, then they say he never had con- 
sumption. If he remains with them and 
dies, he has had consumption, if he goes 
away and gets well, he never had it. There 
are many people acquainted with just such 
cases". ("Nature versus Drugs" by Rein- 
hold, page 432). 
Professor W. J. Yoemans, of Popular 
Science Monthly, says: "All who have 
watched the progress of the healing art in 
recent times, will know that among the 
most enlightened practitioners, there has 
90 DRUGS 
been a steadily diminishing confidence in 
medicines and an increasing reliance upon 
the sane influences of nature." 
Medicine hinders more than it assists 
nature's actions, and is more injurious than 
useful in all diseases. 
Drug medication, no matter under what 
disguise or name it is practiced, consists 
of employing, as remedies for diseases, the 
very thing which produces them in people 
who are healthy. The real effect of drugs 
is that they substitute a chronic condition 
for a temporary indisposition. Every par- 
ticle in Medical Materials is incompatible 
with the vital functions and antagonistic to 
living matter and therefor produces dis- 
ease, when in any way brought into con- 
tact with living domain. In short all are 
poisonous. Hygienic Treatments, on the 
contrary, consists in employing as remed- 
ical agents the same materials and influ- 
ences which preserve health in well people.. 
Dr. Frank Hartman said: "Every time 
you call the Drug Doctor into the house 
you introduce the plague." K 
91 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
Says Dr. Fofth: "There is scarcely a 
more dishonest trade imaginable than med- 
icine in its present state. The Monarch 
who would entirely intercede the practice 
of medicine, would deserve to be placed 
by the side of the most illustrious char- 
acter who ever conferred a benefit to man- 
kind." 
Says Dr. Kidd: "Our cherished hopes of 
medical reform at present, exist in the 
outer educated people. It is a sad, humil- 
iating confession." 
Professor Gregory, of Edinburgh: "Gen- 
tlemen: Ninety-nine out of every hun- 
dred Medical facts are Medical lies, and 
Medical Doctrines, are for the most part, 
stark starving nonsense." 
Dr. Andrew Comb, Edinburgh: "Med- 
icine is made so much of a mystery and 
is so nearly alluded to, if not identified 
with quackery, that it would puzzle many 
a rational onlooker to tell which is one and 
which is the other." 
Dr. Benj. Rush: "We have done but little 
92 DRUGS 
more than multiply diseases and increase 
their fatality." 
Sir Benj. Brodie, M. D., F. R. G. S.: "If 
the art of Medicine and Surgery had never 
been invented, by far the greater number 
of those who suffer from bodily illness 
would have recovered." 
Professor J. W. Carson M. D. says: "It 
is easy to destroy the life of an infant, 
this you will find after you enter practice. 
You will find that a slight scratch of the 
pen, which dictates a little too much of the 
remedy, will wipe out the infant's life. 
When you visit your patient, you will find 
that the child, cheerful a few hours pre- 
viously, is stiff and cold. Beware hten how 
you use your remedies. Again we do not 
know whether our patients recover because 
we give medicine or because nature cures 
them, perhaps bread pills cure as many as 
medicine does." 
Says Professor E. S. Carr, M. D. of New 
York University Medical School: "Mer- 
cury when administered in any form, is 
taken into the circulation and carried to 
93 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
every tissue of the body. The effect of 
Mercury is not for a day, but for all times. 
It often lodges in the bones, occasionally 
causing pain years after it has been ad- 
ministered. I have often detected Metalic 
Mercury in the bones of Patients who have 
been treated with this subtle poisonous 
agent." 
James Johnston, M. D., F. R. S. of the 
Medico Chirugical Review wrote: "I declare 
as my conscientious conviction, founded on 
long experience and reflection that if there 
was not a single Physician or Surgeon, 
Mid-wife, Chemist, Apothecary, Druggist, 
nor drug on the face of the earth, there 
would be less sickness and less mortality 
than now prevails." 
Dr. A. G. Leavy, Jefferson Medical Col- 
lege, Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The best 
things in the healing art have been done 
by those who never had a Diploma: The 
first Caesarian Sector lithotomy. The use 
of Cinchona of ether as an Anesthetic, the 
treatment of the air passages by inhalation. 
The water cure, the medicated bath. Elec- 
94 DRUGS 
tricity as a healing agent, magnetism, faith 
cure, mind cure, etc. Pasteur has no di- 
ploma, but has done more good than all 
the physicians in France." 
Dr. Majendic, lecturing to his class, said: 
"Gentlemen, Medicine is a great humbug. 
I know it is called a Science. Science in- 
deed. It is nothing like Science. Doctors 
are merely Empirics when they are not 
Charlatans. We are as ignorant as men 
can be, who know nothing in the world 
about medicine." 
Professor Barker, New York Medical 
College, says: "The drugs which are some- 
times administered for Scarlet Fever kill 
far more patients than the disease does." 
John Mason Good, M. D. F. R. S. says: 
"The effects of medicine on the human 
system is in the highest degree uncertain, 
except indeed, that they destroyed more 
lives than war, pestilence, and famine com- 
bined." 
Dr. Quain, Editor of the Dictionary of 
medicine, said in an address to the British 
95 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
Medical Association, in 1873. 'Diseases are 
curable, but we cannot cure them." 
Dr. Samuel Wilkes, F. R. G. S. Lecturer 
on Medicine at Guys Hospital, said: "All 
our best treatments are Empirical. I be- 
lieve that we know next to nothing of the 
action of medicines, and other Therapeu- 
tics agents." 
Dr. Ramage F. R. G. S. London, says, 
"It cannot be denied that the present sys- 
tem of medicine is a burning reproach to 
its profession." 
"If indeed a series of vague and uncer- 
tain incongruities deserve to be called by 
that name. How do our medicines really 
do good? How often do they really make 
our patients worse? I fearlessly assert 
that in most cases the sufferer would be 
safer without a physician than with one. 
I have seen enough mal-practice in my 
Professional Brethern to warrant the 
strong language which I employ." 
Dr. Stills "Therapeutics, Vol. 1 Page 31. 
says: "Nearly every medicine has become 
96 DRUGS 
popular as a remedy, before being adopted 
or even tried by physicians, and by far the 
greater number of medicines where first 
employed in countries which are now in a 
state of Scientific ignorance." 
Dr Peebles says: "Medical practitioners 
should not administer poisons that tend to 
destroy the organized tissues, depress the 
vital force, or in any way deprive it of the 
power to respond to the will. Neither 
should they administer potent medicines 
to the sick which, if taken by healthy 
would make them sick. There is no doubt 
in my mind but that the average Doctor 
kills every year more than they cure. This 
I am sorry to say, is too frequently the 
case." 
SHAKESPEARE SAYS: By medicine 
life may be prolonged, yet death will seize 
the doctor too." 
"Lord Beaconfield died while the Allo- 
paths and Homeoepaths were quarrelling 
over his sick body. Such is the science of 
medicine." 
97 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
WHAT THE PUBLIC THINKS OF 
MEDICAL SCIENCE. 
A MEDICAL journal has recently ad- 
mitted the amazing fact that fully one- 
half of the American public patronizes 
drugless practitioners. An inquiry was 
suggested and financed by Dr. James H. 
Hutton of the Chicago Medical Society. 
Here follows the story as published in 
the "Literary Digest" of Sept. 22, 1923. 
WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF THE 
DOCTORS. 
By Buda KELLER. 
Facts intended to assist a committee of 
the Illinois Medical Society to organize an 
educational campaign, were reported to the 
society at a meeting in Chicago recently. 
Under the title "The Laity's idea of the 
Physician," these facts we are told what 
6,772 persons in and out of Chicago act- 
ually think of the Medical profession, and 
why they patronize other healing agencies. 
98 DRUGS 
The idea of these persons are described by 
the writer as "chuck full of unadultered 
lies, polite and half-truths, and delirious 
fancies''. Only 931 of those questioned we 
are told, profess entire confidence in 
orthodox medicine, and made no excur- 
sions into the realms controlled by other 
Cults. This fact in itself, the writer thinks, 
should interest physicians merely as bus- 
iness men. Some one, we are advised, 
should tell these six thousand persons the 
truth about medicine, the one profession in 
the world where a man takes an independ- 
ent attitude with a humanitarian point of 
view." 
"The reason for the appointment of the 
committee was the falling away among 
certain of your patients to quacks and 
cults and practitioners of little value. The 
vast fund of misinformation which the lay- 
man at large has about policies and achiev- 
ments of the medical profession." 
Now if the average business man, selling 
service of the highest known trade, found 
members of his potential customers not 
99 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
only utilizing that service, but using others 
far less meritorous at a far greater price 
he would immediately send workers to 
make a trade survey. 
"We gather together volunteer workers, 
traveling salesmen, city salesmen, office 
people who had much contact with the gen- 
eral public. The welfare worker in one of 
the biggest Middle-Western industrial con- 
cerns. A club women on the south side. 
A society woman on the North Side. 
People who would come in contact with 
layman in every walk of life. There were 
a few paid workers, too, who went up the 
highways and byways. We ask them to do 
this. To find out from as many people as 
possible. What did you do the last time 
you were sick? And, where it could be 
done gracefully, "What led you to do 
that? They were instructed not to ask the 
definite question. What do you have 
against the doctor? For that would not 
only have robbed the reply of its spontan- 
eity, but might have cast considerable sus- 
picion upon the motive of the inquirer. 
100 DRUGS 
"Replies were grouped under general 
heads from 5,719 persons in Chicago, from 
1,053 persons out of Chicago, a total of 
6,772. From this total only 931 or 13 5-16 
per cent had never dabbled in any cult or 
pseudo-science. Of the 931 with a perfect 
record only 384 or 5 11-17 per cent had no 
curiosity about any of said cults or quack- 
ery and no intention of experimenting just 
a bit with them. 
i 
"Of the 5,841 who were directly against 
the physicians, directly for the other fel- 
low, which is quite a different matter, or 
who had at some time or another been in- 
terested in the other fellow to the point 
of investing money in his healing methods, 
only 7 per cent of them were directly 
opposed to the physician on account of 
some fault of his own, that is, malpractice, 
either real or imagined, or his failure as 
an individual to adapt himself to a situa- 
tion. About 93 per cent of them had in 
mind these visions I was telling you about, 
due to confused impressions about you, 
your relationship with one another, your 
101 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
significance in social, economic, and scien- 
tific progress and your long and arduous 
preparation for practice. 
"As I said, we had all classes represented 
here, from day laborers to society leaders, 
with just a 50-50 break between those 
above and those below middle-class in prop- 
erty-holding. And we found what to us 
was a rather interesting fact that the 
semi-foreign communities out on the West 
Side of Chicago, showed a smaller percent, 
experimenting with doubtful healing prac- 
tices than the exclusive Hyde Park and 
North Shore residential districts." 
The following twenty-two groups of an- 
swers we are told, are given as an in- 
dication of the spontaneous comment of 
nearly seven thousand persons. The fact 
that most of the statements made are un- 
true, that many of them are inconsistent, 
one with another would, to the business- 
man, simply be an indication that he had 
better put the truth about himself and his 
service into the mediums where these 
102 DRUGS 
people can find them. Here are the groups: 
"1. There is a large group of people 
who will tell you that the physician is neg- 
ative. He tells you what you must not do, 
warns you of ensuing fatalities. The os- 
teopath chiropractor, does something con- 
crete for you. The mental reaction is 
better. 
"2. There are others who will tell you 
that the physician has too good a graft. He 
looks at you once and charges you five 
dollars for a prescription which he gets 
from a book on the shelf. You can do it 
quite as well by going into the corner 
drug store. 
"3. There are those who say that doc- 
tors resent questions. They either shut 
you up summarily or overwhelm you by an 
utterly incomprehensible explanation. 
"4. Others say that doctors set them- 
selves up as wiser, less infallible than other 
people. One woman said that the last doc- 
tor she had was as pompous as a New 
Zealand devil dancer. 
103 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
"5. It is said that the doctors habitually 
criticize treatments and healing methods 
of which they know nothing. How many 
doctors have questioned carefully a patient 
who has been helped by chiropractic treat- 
ments? How many of them have ever 
seen a treatment? Yet they criticize it, 
regardless. 
"6. Some people said that the Chiro- 
practic Schools at Davenport had real 
equipment: and that the students there 
worked so hard that they must be very 
competent when they came out. 
"7. Others say that physicians are not 
consistent in their ethical practices. The 
doctor who goes after business by the busi- 
ness method of advertising is likely to be 
thrown out of his society. Yet the doctor 
with a spectacular patient, and with 
enough of a graft with a city editor to 
exploit him, becomes a high-priced special- 
ist and everybody is anxious to call him 
into consultation. 
Numbers of people commented on the os- 
teopathic advertisments which have been 
104 DRUGS 
running in national magazines, and claimed 
to have interested to the extent of trying 
out the treatments. 
"9. Another group says that the doctors 
attitude toward one another is about as 
friendly as two strange bull dogs in a 
back yard. Suppose you dismiss one 
physician from a case and call another. 
He will come in, inspect you sorrowfully, 
shudder with horror as he sniffs at the 
bottle of medicine his predecessor left and 
say in a deep voice: You did well to send 
for me, in another hour you would have 
been no more. But I shall cure you. 
"10. There are people who misunderstood 
your ethical ideals. They say that an hon- 
est man will protect a crook. That if an- 
other doctor has blundered disastrously 
on a case, you will do absolutely nothing 
to prevent his repeating the performance 
on any patient who may stray into the 
office. 
"11. There are those who believe that 
successful doctors use for their patients 
105 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
parts of the very same treatments, and let 
nature do the work, but they drag it out 
longer, cluttering it up with useless medi- 
cine, make it cost more, and don't tell you 
the truth about it. 
"12. Others think that when you actually 
get down to cases, the doctors do the same 
thing that they revile in their competitors. 
There is a famous clinic in the Middle 
West which is so prosperous, that nobody 
in the profession dares criticize it. 
Yet they used to flood all that part of 
the country with advertising literature, 
report has it, and later entered into a deal 
with a railroad to advertise the town as the 
home of that clinic. 
"13. The Cults-Science, New Thought, 
and a dozen others, make you a factor in 
your own healing. It is subjective. Medi- 
cine treats you merely as an objective, a 
clod of a thing to be worked upon. 
"14. Another group says that doctors 
are always a bar to progress because 
they fight social legislation, such as the 
106 DRUGS 
Sheppard-Towner bill, and the only new 
stories to be found in the public press 
show their motive to be a selfish finan- 
cial one. 
"15. Others say that doctors won't talk 
competition from a fair angle. They will 
never admit any good in mental or related 
aids, and their attitude bears the stamp 
of a narrow outlook, because such great 
movements as Christian Science could not 
exist so long or flourish so wonderfully 
without the foundation of Truth. 
"16. The Cults-and this comment was 
made of many-draw upon the forces that 
are greater than man. The doctors' re- 
sources are human and mechanical. 
"17. There is a large group which re- 
fuses to believe that only the doctor who 
has studied allopathic medicine was com- 
petent to practice the art af healing. Yet 
the doctors have never given the slightest 
degree of approval to anything "which did 
not originate in their own ranks. 
"18. Another group wondered if any- 
107 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
one interested in healing methods hadn't 
better read the expose of the medical 
profession recently appearing in a popular 
magazine. It showed how little most doc- 
tors knew about the drugs they pre- 
scribed. 
"19. Others say that there are too many 
specialists. It is too expensive to be 
handed around from one to the other for 
each separate thing they think may be 
the matter with you. It is better to go to 
someone who can take care of everything 
at once. 
"22. And finally there is the group that 
says that there is no way of telling which 
is the good doctor and which is the bad 
one, and it is too dangerous to experiment 
with them. Osteopathy-or each man's 
favorite practice-can't hurt you, and has 
cured every difficulty so far. 
"Gentlemen, you have been very much 
amused by these things. You were not 
half as amused as we were in getting them 
together. 
"It does not make any difference how 
108 DRUGS 
wrong the people are or how much they 
are at fault in not knowing that they are 
wrong, it is a fact that almost seven thous- 
and people honestly believe these things 
and that these seven thousand people are 
not confined to ditch-diggers or dish-wash- 
ers or common laborers. Every one of 
them is likely to call you frantically at 
two o'clock in the morning if there was 
something considered a real emergency. 
"It means 93 per cent, of these people 
do not care to come to you unless they 
think they are going to die. It means 
that they are actively interested in other 
things. The modern mind is a little bit 
over-stimulated." 
109 PART IX. 
HEALING BY DISINCARNATE 
INTELLIGENCES 
Many instances of healing diseases, or 
inspiration to cure pain, are to be found in 
ancient literature. In the history of So- 
crates there is one Theodovrus, a martyr, 
put to extreme torture by Julian, an Apos- 
tle. Riffinus in his history says that he 
met Theodovrus after his trial and asked 
him if his pains were great. He replied, 
"That at first they were terrible, but, after 
a while, there seemed to stand behind him 
a young man in white, who, with a ker- 
chief, wiped off the great sweats from his 
body and bid him be cheerful." 
Angels or Devas, as they are called in 
the East, who direct the healing influences, 
and sometimes diagnose diseases, must not 
be confused with the present day method 
of Spiritualism or Sorcery, which has to do 
with the Astral remains of the dead, and 
Nature Spirits (Elementals), the use and 
110 HEALING BY DISINCARNATE INTELLIGENCES 
practice of which merges on the border- 
land of Black Magic. 
The many dangers and true conditions 
of the Astral World is not sufficiently 
known to the average feather head who 
calls himself a Spiritual Healer. Spiritual 
healing can only be performed by a perfect 
man or person who has attained Oneness 
with Divinity; such as Jesus the Christ or 
Buddha (whose will power may be said to 
be the will of the Supreme) and whose 
healing was always instantaneous. 
I cite a case of Mrs. M, who was suffer- 
ing for ten months with pleurisy. She had 
tried all the doctors and medicines she 
heard of, without receiving any help. She 
states: "I was alone in my room suffering 
intense agony. I came to a realization that 
drugs were useless. I prayed fervently as 
I never prayed before, for relief of some 
kind. Suddenly there appeared before me 
what seemed to be a mist at first, until it 
gradually shaped itself into the form of a 
woman. She appeared to me to be more 
perfect than the form of any human being 
111 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
I had ever seen on earth. Suddenly there 
were two more. I was astonished for I 
had never seen anything like this before. 
The first one said to me, speaking dis- 
tinctly low: You have borne your pain 
bravely, be of good cheer, all will be well, 
and you will soon regain your lost health 
and strength.' The apparition must have 
lasted a minute, but to me it seemed to be 
an hour. From that moment I steadily 
gained my health and strength." 
It seems to me that the intense pain the 
woman was suffering was transmuted into 
evoking the Divine influences or healing 
Angels whose work is to assist those who 
reach them by prayer (that is, if it is their 
karma to be well. This law of Karma 
seems to have been forgotten or misunder- 
stood by most people, but neverthless, it is 
always working to restore equilibrium. 
A similar case I quote from the Chicago 
Evening American, Monday, October 24, 
1921: 
Angel saved wife, pastor asserts. Lon- 
don, October 24, 1921, by a London Daily 
112 HEALING BY DISINCARNATE INTELLIGENCES 
Express correspondent. New facts con- 
cerning Angels have been given to me by 
the Rev. Maurice Elliott, vicar of Snitter- 
by, Lincolnshire. The clergyman who says 
he met one by appointment at Brighton. 
Mr. Elliott's story is astonishing. He told 
me first the full account of how the Angel 
came to save the life of his wife, and his 
then unborn child. A London Specialist 
declared that an immediate operation was 
necessary. "My wife and I," said Mr. El- 
liott, "prayed withh all our hearts for guid- 
ance. It was the evening before she was 
to go to a nursing home when the Angel 
appeared to us. We had prayed that a 
messenger might be sent, and he came. He 
talked to us there in the room, using the 
ordinary language of every day conversa- 
tion. One word the Angel used was diag- 
nosis. He said that the Specialist was 
wrong in his view concerning an operation. 
"The next day my own doctor came to 
see about my wife's removal to the nursing 
home. I told him that we had decided 
against an operation. He was surprised 
113 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
beyond measure, and said: 'Why on earth 
have you done that?' 
"I replied that we had received other 
advice. Later I told him the advice was 
given by an Angel. That doctor is writing 
a foreword to a book which we are pub- 
lishing shortly, giving the history of the 
case and verifying the facts as he knows 
them." 
A few days subsequent to this the same 
Angel appeared to Mr. and Mrs. Elliot. 
They had asked Divine guidance to a med- 
ical man who would confirm the Angel's 
statement. The Angel told them to cancel 
the rooms which they had booked at a Dev- 
onshire resort and go to Brighton, and he 
would meet them there and he did so. 
Walked With Them 
"He came to us in our carriage just be- 
fore we arrived at the station. I do not 
imagine that the other people in the car- 
riage saw him, unless some of them were 
clairvoyant. The Angel walked with us 
Ihrough the town, guiding us to a hotel 
114 HEALING BY DISINCARNATE INTELLIGENCES 
near the aquarium. He walked normally; 
there was no gliding or passing through 
substances. 
"It was then that I noticed that he wore 
sandals. He was in conversation with us 
the whole time." 
At the hotel the Angel dematerialized, 
and this particular visitor has not been 
seen since by Mr. Elliott. There occurred 
in the hotel the unusual meeting of an- 
other specialist, who examined Mrs. Elliott 
and found that she was in an entirely 
normal condition. 
This doctor did exactly as the Angel in 
advance said that he would do. 
The child of the married couple can also 
see Angels, and often tells her mother, "I 
have been playing with the Angels." A 
company of baby angels were manifest to 
Mr. and Mrs. Elliott when the little one 
was christened in Winchester Cathedral. 
Tells of Baby Angels 
This is how Mrs. Elliott describes the 
incidents: "Angel children, gaily, though 
115 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
quietly, formed a semi-circle on the east- 
ward side of the font. They seemed to 
be loosely joined together by a silver 
thread. They were all clothed in white and 
beautifully wrapped with pink carnations 
and lilies. Some were carrying garlands 
of blue bells, some were ringing small sil- 
ver bells, and the two leading all the rest 
carried a pure white banner on which was 
beautifully embossed in burnished gold a 
cross and a crown as the infant was placed 
in the nurse's arms two angel children put 
a small gold triangle and a silver anchor 
on the christening robe. 
"Often," says Mr. Elliott, "I see other 
angels. They come to my church and are 
around the altar at communion. At serv- 
ice, when I see angel figures, or the faces 
of friends who have departed from their 
material bodies. "I have the greatest diffi- 
culty in not stopping and saying to the 
congregation: 'Do you not see these dear 
ones around?' " 
A Daily Express representative had an 
interview yesterday with the doctor re- 
116 HEALING BY DISINCARNATE INTELLIGENCES 
ferred to by Mr. Elliott, and the remark- 
able fact emerges that the rector could 
have no apparent means of knowing the 
doctor's status or profession when he 
sought his advice in the Brighton hotel. 
The doctor makes no reference to special 
prayer before he began his holiday at 
Brighton. On the other hand, he describes 
the strong impression received that he 
might be of some help to some while at 
Brighton. 
Doctor Testifies 
The doctor lives in a southeastern sub- 
urb, where he is well known and has a 
large practice. "I am the doctor referred 
to by Mr. Elliott," he said. "The case oc- 
curred while I was staying at a hotel at 
Brighton for my own health. I had not 
registered there as a medical man. Mr. 
Elliott arrived during my stay and the day 
after his arrival he followed me into the 
drawing-room and, without any introduc- 
tion, told me about his wife's condition and 
asked my advice. An extraordinary fea- 
ture of the case is that he could not have 
117 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
known I was a doctor. I examined his 
wife and gave my opinion that no opera- 
tion would be necessary, a statement which 
greatly relieved him. 
"I asked Mr. Elliott how he came to ap- 
proach me as a doctor, and he told me he 
had seen a messenger from heaven, who 
had instructed him to come to the hotel, 
where he would find an answer to his dif- 
ficulties. It was the Angel's guidance, he 
declared, that led him to me. This state- 
ment did not cause me a surprise, because 
I have always been ready to help anyone 
who might come to me, whether on holiday 
or not. I had an impression myself that I 
might be of some help to some one at 
Brighton." 
In the invisible world there exists many 
kinds of intelligences which come into re- 
lationship with man. Some are mighty 
Spiritual powers, others again, are exceed- 
ingly inferior in consciousness to the aver- 
age man. The invisible world inter-pene- 
trates the visible, and crowds of intelligent 
beings throng around in the apparently in- 
118 HEALING BY DISINCARNATE INTELLIGENCES 
visible space, varying in power, knowledge 
and consciousness. Some of these are ac- 
cessible to human requests, others again, 
are subject to the will, for the vibration of 
thoughts and desires create forms of sub- 
tle matter. Their only life is the thought 
and idea which ensouls them. 
If help is wanted to alleviate suffer- 
ing or pain an Angel or Deva is attracted 
from the invisible wTorld by the laws of at- 
traction, and they illuminate the receptive 
brain consciousness of the individual by 
thought projection; in this way many cures 
are accomplished. 
The failure of this kind of (evoking) or 
prayer is due to a hidden cause. Every 
man has in the past contracted debts by 
his wrong thoughts and actions. These 
debts must be paid. A transgression of 
the law must be answered for in some way, 
Suffering or otherwise. A man destined to 
suffer physical pain caused by wrong ac- 
tions in his past hurls his prayer against 
that destiny in vain. The thought forms 
he creates by prayer will seek, but will not 
119 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
attract. It will be met and thrown back by 
the current of past transgressions. We 
are living in a universe of perfect law and 
order. He who sows, must reap. We can- 
not escape our creations. One prayer may 
go on its way unopposed and reach the 
place to which it is sent, and the other may 
be turned aside by the hidden force which 
has been caused by some wrong act in the 
past. One is answered, the other unan- 
swered. In both cases the result is gov- 
erned by law. 
Many of us seem to forget that there is a 
law of cause and effect which is continu- 
ally working to adjust equilibrium. The 
many cases of incurable diseases are the 
result of the working out of this law. A 
concentrated prayer is a powerful healing 
agent, but it cannot overcome the law of 
cause and effect. A comprehension of this 
law is wholly beyond the grasp of the 
materialist. 
At times when the heads of different na- 
tions have been ailing and millions have 
prayed earnestly and fervently for their 
120 HEALING BY DISINCARNATE INTELLIGENCES 
recovery, that they might be healed, in 
most cases their prayers were not an- 
swered. As an example Pope Benedict XV, 
Presidents Garfield, McKinley, Lincoln, 
Harding, etc, died when millions of people 
were praying for them. 
On the other hand, here is a case of 
where the prayers of a few effected a cure: 
(Chicago Evening American) 
Sight of Girl Returns as She Prays 
Holyoke, Mass., Jan. 11.-Totally blind 
and making preparations to go to Boston 
to go to a school for the blind, Miss Doris 
Belanger, 21, had her eyesight restored 
just as the Salvation Army was ending its 
watch night services in its home. 
Kneeling in front of the preaching plat- 
form, surrounded by a dozen Salvation 
Army lassies, all praying for her, and with 
more than eighty persons in the hall, Miss 
Belanger suddenly jumped up and cried: 
"Praise God, I have got it; L can see 
again." 
121 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
Adjutant Bloethe jumped to Miss Be- 
langer's side as she started to reel, appar- 
ently overcome with joy at the recovery of 
her sight. "How many fingers can you 
see?" asked Adjutant Bloethe, as he held 
his hands before the girl's eyes. "Five," 
she answered, and a brief test showed that 
she could really see once more. Today she 
is able to read a book and travel about 
unaccompanied. 
Healing by prayer has been the means 
of effecting many wonderful cures/ The 
current of life's energies which flows 
downwards and outwards are directed 
to the world for realizing our daily 
actions. When our consciousness turns 
from the outer world and directs its 
attention inwardly, it draws all our forces 
towards that which we call "will." 
The sincere individual who desires to be 
healed by prayer places his heart and mind 
in a receptive attitude. This stills his lower 
nature and he is then able to attune him- 
self to the finer forces in nature, which he 
122 HEALING BY DISINCARNATE INTELLIGENCES 
uses advantageously. Gradually he gets 
into rapport with the Spiritually conscious 
side of himself, the true I Am. In this 
exalted sphere (as well as in any other) 
Will and Faith are the basic power and in- 
fluences of the healer, and the more faith 
there is in the prayer the quicker the re- 
sponce and more lasting the effect. 
How to Heal by Prayer 
Except in the case of the working out of 
the law of cause and effect, which I have 
pointed out, many cases of diseases have 
been cured by prayer. The healer places 
his patient in a receptive position; the at- 
titude of the healer is one of intense con- 
centration. His entire physical organism 
vibrates with radiating life forces. The 
phsychic atmosphere around him is full 
of thought form of great brilliance and 
various colors, while the real I AM of 
the individual may be said to be touch- 
ing the hem of the garment of Him in 
Whom we live, move and have our be- 
123 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
ing. From this state the true healer can 
pour into the receptive mind of his patient 
the finer forces of nature and thereby re- 
cuperate or eliminate that which may cause 
the affliction. 
124 PART X. 
MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS 
Cancer 
Many apparently incurable cases of can- 
cer have been cured by these methods. If 
the patient's vitality is not too low and his 
system has not been weakened by drugs, a 
scientific fast, under the directions of a 
capable Hygienest or doctor should be 
tried. When not undergoing a fast, it is 
necessary to give the patient a proper 
diet. This should include all kinds of Un- 
fired Foods, (vegetables), pure honey and 
milk in abundance, plenty of fresh air, sun- 
shine and exercise in moderation. 
Asthma 
In cases of Asthma, Bronchitis and all 
diseases of the respiratory organs, the 
the patient should keep in a temperature 
which is of the same degree, as much as 
possible. Frequent changes of tempera- 
ture, and especially cold air, irritate the 
lungs. The patient should do plenty of 
125 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
deep breathing exercises, in the open if 
possible, and always though the nostrils. 
About seventy-five to one hundred deep 
breathes daily should be sufficient. How- 
ever, if a patient is ruptured, he must be 
very careful in practising deep breathing. 
Three or four teaspoonsful of honey, and 
about the same of Olive Oil should be taken 
daily. Concentrate on the Pulmonary cen- 
ter, as directed in the first lesson of this 
series. Also treatment by suggestion and 
fasting will help hasten a cure. 
Epileptic Fits 
Try to keep your patient from worrying. 
Substitute an exclusive vegetarian diet, if 
the patient has been in The habit of eating 
flesh of any kind, Meat should be abso- 
lutely forbidden. This must be religiously 
carried out if the patient wishes to effect 
a permanent cure. The patient should be 
advised to go out in the fresh air as much 
as possible. A person who is subject to 
these fits is liable to be seized with one at 
any time, sometimes falling in the street, 
and thereby liable to meet with a fatal 
126 MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS 
accident. It is always best that they be 
accompanied by someone when they are 
out. Every time the patient is being seized 
with a fit, his attendant or healer should, 
clap his hands loudly, and in a commanding 
voice, demand him to come out of that con- 
dition. If the demand is made simultan- 
eously with the clapping of the hands, the 
patient will quickly respond, and come out 
of the epileptic condition and in time be 
entirely cured. 
Stuttering 
This is usually caused by lack of proper 
control of the vocal cords. A simple 
method of concentration carried out hon- 
estly and truthfully will produce marvel- 
ous results. 
Example: The person who stutters 
should sit down in a quiet room where he 
is sure he will not be disturbed. He should 
suggest to himself mentally or verbally, 
"I will not stutter again, my speech is 
perfect, perfect, perfect." These sugges- 
tions should be made slowly and force- 
fully. In order that he may get a better 
127 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
leverage on his words, each time he uses a 
suggestion, he should raise his fore-finger 
pointed as though he was keeping time 
with an orchestra. His movements should 
be slow, very slow. This method, if carried 
out faithfully, will give beneficial results. 
Tonsilitis 
The Tonsils are glands which eliminate 
impuriteis from the system. To cut them 
out, (which seems to be the fashionable 
habit,) naturally destroys their function- 
ing. When the blood becomes saturated 
with poison caused from flesh eating, the 
tonsils become clogged with poison and a 
fungus growth sets in to feed on the poi- 
sonous condition. The swelling, pains, etc., 
which is the general condition in an 
attack of tonsilitis, is simply an accumula- 
tion of flesh poisoning which the patients 
constitution is unable to eliminate. Cut- 
ting out these glands only surpresses Ton- 
silitus and causes Sciatic Rheumatism, 
Lumbago etc. The best cure for Tonsilitus 
and the accompanying ailments, is to stop 
128 MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS 
eating flesh food, and as soon as the flesh 
poison has entirely left the system, which 
will probably take about a year at least, 
the patient will never be troubled with his 
Tonsils again, unless he should go back to 
a flesh diet. 
Nervous Headaches 
First: Remember that the sub-conscious 
mind is to be treated as though it is a 
separate and distinct entity. The sugges- 
tion must first be made that the headache 
is about to stop. Then that it is stopping, 
and finally that it is entirely gone. These 
suggestions may be made either mentally 
or verbally, and should be persisted in until 
the desired effect is produced. By having 
confidence in yourself, and continuing the 
mental and verbal suggestions after the 
pain has ceased, you will finally bring 
about permanent results. 
Female Troubles 
About 70% of all women are contin- 
ually complaining of some kind of ailment. 
129 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
About 40% of these complaints may be 
traced to imagination. 
About 20% of the ailments of young 
married women can be traced to the young 
husband. Over 70% of all men are suffer- 
ing, or have suffered at some time of their 
lives, from venereal diseases of some kind, 
the results of promiscuous intercourse. 
These diseases have never been cured or 
eliminated internally. They have only been 
suppressed with drugs and other quack 
nostrums. Nature, as we know her is a 
hard task mistress to those who transgress 
her laws, consciously or otherwise. As 
drugs are not a cure, but only suppress the 
symptoms, the same disease will come to 
the surface in later years. When a man 
who has had venereal disease, gets married, 
he transmits these diseases to his wife, 
causing what is generally called "The 
Whites." The young wife ignorantly be- 
lieves, or is made to believe, that it is a 
natural after effect of married life and is 
advised to use certain drugs to suppress 
the condition. 
130 MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS 
Here again the evils of the drug habit 
has its effect on the wife. One poison 
calls for another, until nature refuses to 
function normally, in a certain part of the 
sex organs. Then the high priced Special- 
ist is called, and he carefully examines his 
patient, and naturally his advice is that 
the useless part or parts must be operated 
upon and cut out. He is very careful to do 
a good job, for experience has taught him 
that one operation always calls for another. 
Drugs have never cured venereal, or any 
other disease as I have pointed out in pre- 
vious lessons. A permanent cure can only 
be brought about by a systematic method of 
fasting and dieting under the direction of 
a capable Hygienest or doctor, who under- 
stands the drugless method of healing. 
Catarrh 
For Catarrh and dizziness, breathing ex- 
ercises as directed in the Science of breath- 
ing may be followed. Inhaling through the 
right nostril and exhaling through the left, 
131 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
and vice versa, twice daily for two minutes 
increasing to five. 
Sciatica Rheumatism 
This can be cured by scientific fasting, 
massage and diet. Diet plays an important 
part in effecting a permanent cure. The 
patient should abstain entirely from meat. 
Cold Sponge baths, plenty of exercise, ex- 
posing the afflicted parts to the sun when 
convenient, without scorching themselves. 
The patient should also eat plenty of celery. 
Self Treatment 
The person wishing to heal himself by 
mental or suggestive Therapeutics, must 
first try to have a conscous realization of 
the "I am" and understand that conscious 
"I am" part of you is the real self, while 
the body is only its vehicle. Allow this 
"I am" to treat your physical body as 
though it were treating some one else. 
The subtle force projecting from the "I 
am" conscious thought is a natural force 
132 MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS 
or energy as real as any other force of 
which we have proof, such as electricity. 
Feel this force or energy, penetrating 
and vibrating through your whole being, 
healing and soothing the afflicted parts. 
While doing this visualize that which you 
are desirious of eliminating or creating. 
Hold the fixed idea in consciousness. Will 
it, affirm and believe it. Suggest to every 
cell that the conditions you are desirous of 
creating or eliminating must and will come 
to pass. 
In giving these self treatments, you 
should always address yourself as though 
you were speaking to another person. Speak 
your name in full and say, you are better, 
"You are well. The diseased organs are 
functioning properly. "Here name the 
afflicted parts. 
The secret underlying this method of 
self treatment is this: you awaken and 
plant the seeds in the conscious "I am" 
which will naturally become manifest in 
the unconscious "Me." In this way you 
133 OCCULT AND DRUGLESS THERAPEUTICS 
are getting directly in rapport with your 
mind organs, viz.: The subconscious mind, 
which is the real healer. The idea im- 
planted in the subconscious mind, produces 
the mental conditions courted. 
Repetition of the principle sought after, 
plays an important part in mental or self- 
healing. It is a well known fact, that sug- 
gestion gains force by repetition. The pos- 
itive repetition of a suggestion will tend to 
make a deeper impressions on the subcon- 
scious mind. Repeated suggestions in vari- 
ous mental states, and holding the idea of 
health desired, will help to induce the orig- 
inal idea.
