HOW TO GIVE YOURSELF MENTAL TREATMENT.

There are, thousands of people who, while believing in the power of thought and of mind -over matter, never apply thi.: belief as a remedy for the ills of daily file. This Is because they do- not Know hew to go about it, and also because the science of mental healing has generally been enveloped in a jargon of catch words and phrases that is rather apt to frighten off than attract the man and woman of ‘ordinary common sense.

Mental healing can nob to-day cure broken bones c-r dislocations, but can alleviate much physical pain and oven iron—mental .suffering. Tho following treatment, .states an expert, has been found tho best for keeping away hanuful diseases and harmful thoughts and worries.

Tho down upon bed or couch and make yourself perfectly comfortable. Relax every nerve and muscle in your (■afire holy until you are perfectly lax and inre-ave; the more deeply you relax the quicker you will receive benefit. Do not be discouraged if at first you find tills hard to do. You will accomplish it after a few trials. Now. beginning at Hie head send your thoughts (not moving the lips) round Hie head through tho brain, to the eyes, nose, mouth, chin, neck and throat; through lungs, heart, stomach, spine, liver, bowel-', bladder hips, upper legs, knees, lower legs, ankles, feet and toes; here rest for a, few minutes.

Thou lie®u at the foot, go hack to the head iu tho same way as you camo down. Von will feel a slight tingling sen/atinn in different parts of the body, something like a current of electricity

(in some this is felt more plainly than ■in others); this is when disease is separating itself from the tissues of your body. Spend from twenty to thirty ■mimites daily in this treatment; when you retire at night is the best time. Should you fall .asleep at any time during tho treatment, tho work will go on just the same, as when once started it will bo carried on by tho mind regardless of your will. Yon will soon find disease, continues onr authority, leaving your body, and you will bo strong both mentally and physically. Take this treatment very, very slowly, and dwell a little longer on any part where disease seems to be fastened. After you 'have undertaken it several months in this way, wall you will have to do wall bo to lie down, relax, and say to yourself: “I will rest for twenty minutes.” Then with ibis thought in your mind repeat to yourself; —“ I will that tho health force go to every part of my body,” and yon will immediately feel the work going on. It is not especially necessary for you to use tho exact thoughts sot out hero. If yon have any thought in your mind that seems fitted to your special case, use it, and the result will bo as you wish.
