It is now well-known that thought is a force of tremendous potency and has the power to materialize all mental beliefs and affections in the body of flesh. This principle is so well-known and established that it would be but a waste of time to enter into the nature of proof available in its support. The sceptic would do well to study the works of Dr. J. H. Hudson and others, where he would find ample proof of our statement. It suffices for our present purpose to point out that the living cell is moved hy mental impulses and actuated by mental stimuli. The microscope reveals all this, and it reveals the structural lines of communication between cell and cell and between the central controlling intelligence and each particular cell (Hudson). These cells are controlled by the subjective mind which has full control over the functions, sensations and conditions of the body. The subjective mind is, in its turn, amenable to control by "suggestion,” which has been defined by hypnotists as "the insinuation of a belief or impulse into the mind by any means, as by words or gestures, usually, by emphatic declarations.
