The other loctors never took me seriously. When I complained they gave me a medicine, of course, but.they never tried to help me get along without taking any more o? it. You strengthened not alone my body, but also my mind, and encour- 1ged by you I can now get along without you.” That's just what T am after. I want to bring you to a point where you need no medicines. I make you un- iergo a thorough treatment, strength- :n your system and develop your viality. I train your mind so will learn to reason away your worries and forebodings, and no more medicines, no more ments, no more doctoring. You will then contendedly go our daily work, enjoy your me: almly take things as they come, our troubles as you meet them, hot go out of your way to look hem—and take your share of this vorld’s misery if you have to. You Will then begin to rea that you were in the habit of looking at things, through black eyegls so to speak—; and, when you discard them, you will discover that this life has its rm and pleasures for you after all. And you will go to bed without tak- Ing your troubles with you; you will wake up after a deep sound sleep, freshed and vigorous and ready another day’s work. Yes, my friend, this can be done. DR.
