A Treatise on the Renewal and Rejuvenation of the Physical Body, With Affirmations for Use in the Work
San Diego: George P. Sikes, 1919.
First Edition. 5.25 x 6 inches, 61 pp, in original purple wrappers with lettering and vignette in gold (somewhat faded). Text block loose from wrappers, otherwise very good. Jessie Millard English (1860-1835) was an early settler of Santa Ana, California, where she worked as a schoolteacher. She was also, as the preface to this work explains, "a graduate of several of the best schools of suggestive healing"—the practice of "implanting" positive thoughts as a catalyst for healing physical ailments—which she says she used successfully to cure her own failing eyesight. Here she explains the theory and process of "body renewal" and provides a lengthy series of affirmations about body, soul, and spirit to guide the seeker in healing. Two copies located in OCLC.
