Menticulture; or, the A-B-C of True Living
Fletcher, Horace
Anger; Conduct of life; Worry
One of the most prolific, observing, and interesting writers of stories
and descriptive articles for the magazines, a war correspondent and one
time journalist, has endorsed and practiced the theory presented in
this paper, and has done me the honor to write approvingly as follows:
"I have succeeded in entirely ridding myself of the cancers, and am
amazed at the ease with which it was done. You are certainly an apostle
of sweetness and light, and I shall never be able to thank you enough
for letting me into your noble secret."
[Sidenote: An Author Feels Younger]
He notes especially an improved digestion, and feels younger each day
as he progresses in the new life.
A GENERAL MANAGER
The Southern General Manager of one of the largest British Insurance
Companies is a tried convert, and finds health and happiness which had
never been attained while under the thraldom of worry, which was his
only former affliction.
AN AUTHORESS
The author of a novel which has just come before the public, and which
is one of the purest and most ingenious stories ever published, is an
ardent convert to the belief that she is superior to the depressing
passions, and her naturally religious temperament finds great solace in
it.
A LAWYER
A leading lawyer of New Orleans, of very old family, religious by
nature, but not sectarian, found comfort in the idea of the possible
elimination of the passions, and the unrestricted growth of the

[Sidenote: Germ Cure Logical to All]
[Sidenote: "Get Thee Behind me Satan"]
"The germ theory of cure must appeal to _all_ persons in a greater or
less degree, especially to such as find it difficult to believe in a
personal Deity who receives directly and directly answers prayer as a
special dispensation. They can find logic in the cultivation of the
Divine Spark which has been breathed in to them, and feel that in its
growth toward perfection the Laws of Nature are being assisted and not
violated; while to such as find faith in a personal God and comfort and
help in prayer, the ability to be superior to sinful thoughts will give
stimulation to their faith, and be a fulfilment of the Example, which
taught: _'Get thee behind me, Satan'!_"
