Summary:

"The influence of the mind over the body has long been recognized. Now and then, through the centuries, a favored mortal has caught a glimpse of the great truths of suggestion, in psychic healing and education, but it has remained for the investigators of the closing years of the nineteenth century to fully appreciate and systematize them. Suggestion is such an important factor in medicine and education that none can afford to neglect it. Many have come to me for instruction in suggestive therapeutics and many others have written to enquire about it. I have been asked to recommend a suitable text-book, I could not, there is none. This little volume has been written to meet these demands for a simple statement of the fundamental elements of the subject"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
