By Thos. Parker Boyd
(1) Select some part of the body, a foot or hand, with the idea of HEAT. While holding the mind in this attitude, breathe deeply and steadily, and, in from one to four minutes, you will feel the warm glow coming to the foot. In this way, you can soon master the entire body. Begin with the sense of feeling. If there is an itching of the body, make it stop by the force of your will. In from three days to three weeks, you can stop the itching sensation at will. Then try the habit of sneezing; stubbornly resist the inclination to sneeze, and you will soon have the mastery. Now try your will on coughing. When the tickling sensation comes, stop it by the exercise of your will. You can soon master it. Next try it on pain. When you feel a pain in the body, instead of rubbing on liniment, rub in a little will power; soon it will ease your pain as if by magic. With the fingers of one hand rub the skin on the back of the other hand, stroking toward the elbow, and will that all feeling shall disappear. In from one to three minutes, take a needle, and you can stick it through the skin on the back of the hand without pain. You may have to try it a dozen times, but persistence will bring success. Having mastered the sense of feeling, take up that of hearing.
(2) It may seem impossible at first thought, but you have seen people so absorbed in what they were reading or thinking that they heard nothing, although you addressed them directly. They are simply abstracted from all else, and are thinking of one thing—to the exclusion of everything else. They entered this state of abstractedness unconsciously. To do so intentionally, you go by the law of indirectness. For instance, take sight; concentrate your vision and your whole attention upon some object, real or imaginary, until soon the sense of HEARING becomes dormant. A little practice will enable you to study, think or sleep, regardless of noise.
(3) Having mastered hearing, begin on SIGHT. You have known people who walked on the street, looked at you and passed by without recognition, although they knew you well. A person deeply thinking on some subject, neither sees nor hears, but uses the mental sense entirely. The method is to let the eyes be open, but concentrate the thoughts on hearing or feeling.
(4) After getting control of your sight, take up the TASTE. Take some tasteless thing on the tongue, abstract the mind to something else until the taste becomes dormant. Then take something with more taste to it, abstracting the taste, until by this gradual process you can make the sourest pickle sweet.
(5) Finally take some light odor, and hold it before the nostrils, abstracting the attention from the sense of smell, by hearing or seeing, etc., until by practice you can pass through the foulest odor without inconvenience or notice.
Sit or stand absolutely motionless, except your breathing, for one to five minutes at a time. Do this often.
Practice closing each finger in rotation; then, when all are closed, open one at a time very slowly, keeping the attention fixed on what you are doing. Keep all the other fingers still, save the one you are exercising with.
Inhale gradually for ten seconds, then exhale in the same way and time.
Look steadily at some point or object for a minute without winking the eye, keeping your attention fixed on the object.
Look at a picture critically, then close your eyes and mentally reconstruct it.
Close your eyes and construct the face of a friend, feature by feature.
Fix your attention on a hand or foot, hold on it the idea of heat and continue until the hand or foot feels warm. Then try cold; then try pain.
Will that the person in front of you shall turn around or put his hand on his head or neck.
Hold your hand on some one in pain and say, "I will the pain to depart." Repeat till the pain goes.

What is the kink in your mind? Does your subconscious mind entertain thoughts of fear, sickness, poverty, unhappiness—do you lack courage—have you been hampered in reaching your success goal—do you want to be master of self and your own destiny? Do you wish to conquer disease—strengthen your personality—be more and do more?
Here then is a way to overcome all these mental handicaps and develop within yourself constructive action. Dr. Bush, through his vast experience in handling thousands of cases, has proven beyond a doubt that all sickness, poverty and unhappiness is caused by "KINKS" in the mind. When the store house of the intellect, the subconscious mind, becomes clogged up with morbid thoughts and destructive suggestions the physical being refuses to work in harmony.
Dr. Bush tells you how to train your subconscious mind along the path of creative thinking. He points out the means of attaining the very things in life that your better self has longed for. He explains how you make your "Dreams of success come true" and he gives you actual examples.
The secret of success, health and prosperity will no longer remain a secret for you, if you will read and follow the instructions of this wonderful teacher.
If you are sick this book tells you why you are sick—it explains the mental processes that react on your physical nature—it places within your reach the means of curing yourself and others. After reading it you will understand better the process of positive thinking—and you will be able to attune your physical nature so that it will work in harmony with your mental nature—you will understand how to take the "KINKS" out of the mind.
A book that may mean the turning point in your life—one that you should get and read now—without a day's delay.
Most people fail to become prosperous because they lack a definite working plan. Dr. David V. Bush has prepared a simple chart so that you may analyze your failings and conquer them. With it you may demonstrate prosperity—it will point out your weak points and show the way to actual accomplishment.
Whatever your walk in life—no matter how many failures you have had—no matter how discouraged and despondent you may feel—you need this self-analysis chart right now. Send for it today. Just 25c, money order or stamps.
To visualize and concentrate successfully, certain definite principles underlying the laws that control the functions of the mind must be understood and applied. My experience in thousands of cases shows that failure is often due to the wrong application of these laws—to a misunderstanding of the mental processes necessary to properly focus the thought waves upon some definite desire and the urge of the conscious mind for too hasty action.
The laws of visualization and concentration are well defined and when properly exercised are without limitation as to success, but to accomplish results one must understand and use these laws properly.
You will more readily grasp the principle that governs the laws of visualization and concentration after reading this little booklet.
In it Dr. David Bush has gone right down to bed rock—he thoroughly explains these necessary laws—he puts you right and shows you your mistakes—he starts you off on the right foot so that you may apply these laws for your benefit and profit.
Dr. Bush believes, from his own vast experience, that more people fail on concentration and visualization than on any other operation of the laws of mind now being studied or applied, because they only partly understand these laws. In this pamphlet he showswhythe vast majority of people fail in visualizing. There are natural laws which are very often cross-circuited by well intentioned people trying to operate them for their good, all because they fail to understand the right way. You will understand visualization after you read "Why Some People Fail in Visualization."
Send for this book today—you will understand this subject after reading it—you need it now—-send 25c in stamps or coin.
In this little booklet Dr. David V. Bush discusses Suggestion and Auto-Suggestion from a different angle than that in "Practical Psychology and Sex Life" and "Applied Psychology and Scientific Living." He takes the practical side of Suggestion and points out its value and usefulness. He explains the limitations of Suggestion and deals in a different way with the mental laws that control this powerful factor for your success. No matter what thought you have given to this interesting subject—no matter how much you studied Suggestion, you will be surprised and delighted with the plain everyday way in which Dr. Bush explains this mental phenomena.
This is a different angle of Suggestion than in either "Applied Psychology and Scientific Living" or "Practical Psychology and Sex Life." Also a different angle than has been printed in the fifty-cent series by the same author under "The Subconscious Mind." This pamphlet not only deals differently with the law of Suggestion as mentioned above, but it is most entertaining, readable and likeable from the practical side of suggestion. There will be stimulation, inspiration and mental cerebration in reading this pamphlet—"The Influence of Suggestion."
You will welcome this little booklet as a new avenue for increasing your knowledge of this fascinating study and you will acquire a newer and different understanding of its usefulness.
By all means secure this little booklet without delay. Your copy is ready. Just 25 cents, coin or stamps, will start it by first mall.
Your capacity for constructive thinking is in exact ratio to the kind of food you put in your stomach. Your physical being and cellular development is retarded or improved by the food you eat. Sickness is, in many instances, the result of wrong diet.
What you eat determines your fitness to fight and conquer in life's battles.
"What to Eat" is a book that you must read. It shows you the value of eating right—it explains the cause of disease from wrong eating—it gives you the proper diet and explains why.
To succeed—to have poise and courage—to be immune from sickness—to be strong and sturdy—to think fast and act quickly—to be married happily—consider your diet.
When you read this book you will be able to choose a combined diet that will nourish your body and build mentality.
All life is a battle for place—the fittest only survive—stop putting poison into your stomach—learn the secret of vigorous health and long life.
