onderful
helps I have seen them bring to suffering humanity. I have talked with
and watched the cases of scores of patients.

I have by plausible logic, mental suggestion, and good cheer to the
hospital patients, brought many a smile through a mist of tears.

I have seen wonderful results of mental suggestion to the discouraged
patients.

To show the effects faith thought will produce, I will relate some
instances.

One patient screaming for a hypodermic injection to relieve her pain was
given an injection of sterilized water and the pain vanished.

Another just could not sleep without her bromide. The nurse fixed up a
powder of sugar, salt and flour, the patient took the powder and went
to sleep. That was mind control and mental longing satisfied.

Another patient had to take something to stop her pains; she got
capsules of magnesia. The capsule satisfied her longing, established her
faith and gave her relief; the relief was through her mind and not by
the capsule.

I have seen several weary, despondent patients fretting and wearing
themselves out over their so-called weakness and condition. I have
placed copies of "Pep" in their hands and watched courage, faith, cheer
and sereneness come to them.

The reading of "Pep" diverted their minds from self-thought and
self-accusation to faith-thought and courage.

"Pep" is simply powerful common-sense, practical, digestible, hope,
faith, cheer and courage. One brain cannot at the same time hold its
attention on faith and fear, on joy or sorrow, on smiles and tears.

You can only think one thing at a time, and "Pep" or any other book that
can change the habit thought from fear to faith, from worry to peace, is
doing a service.

I've been in shadowland in the hospital to see for myself the actual
help that mental control will bring to sufferers and the evidence is
far above my powers to describe.

I'm mighty glad I wrote "Pep" for it has helped many a brother and
sister out of darkness into sunshine, and proved the value of right
thinking and mental control.

I've seen the lifting up of a patient's hope, when the cheery surgeon
came with hope, smiles and confidence on his face.

I've seen the drooping of spirits when well meaning but poor expressing
friends came into the patient's room and condoned and sorrowed with the
patient.

Verily "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."

Verily good cheer and good thought are good medicines.

And to these truths
