Chicago, IllinoisAs Written:Ill., Sept. 1, 1884.
Some earnest workers in our city are helping me form a class of about twenty-five ladies and gentlemen to take a course of twelve lessons in Metaphysics or the science of “Mind Cure,” chiefly as taught by the Massachusetts Metaphysical College. My class begins about 25th instanceAs Written:inst., or a little later, to be taught by me in my new office and lecture room, NumberAs Written:No. 6, second floor, 344 South State Street. Tuition for the course, $12Editorial Note: $12.00 in 1884 is the equivalent of $332.27 in 2017.. From $100Editorial Note: $100.00 in 1884 is the equivalent of $2,768.90 in 2017. to $300Editorial Note: $300.00 in 1884 is the equivalent of $8,306.69 in 2017. are charged in Boston for a course in Metaphysics, which seems much like extortion and speculation in truth. I have been practically in the “Mind Cure” for many years, and understand the system thoroughly as taught by Mrs. Eddy, of Boston, and after passing through a course of instruction by her, and close study of her booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy., can adopt her teachings to a fair extent, yet I cannot ignore Mediumship, Clairvoyance, or Magnetism, in their proper offices, nor deny the reality of communion with the departed. Through these agencies and truths the beauties of our Spiritual Philosophy have come to mankind, and only those who stand in fine spiritual unfoldment are prepared for this advance step in the science of mind or spirit. In this class the true science of being will be clearly understood, and you will greatly unfold in the law of spirit manifestation, control, et ceteraAs Written:etc. You will learn how to avoid taking conditions, or disease how to cure yourself and others by the best and purest system ever practiced. Metaphysicians in Boston, Chicago and elsewhere, are curing every class of disease without using a drug, and some are earning from $10Editorial Note: $10.00 in 1884 is the equivalent of $276.89 in 2017. to $45Editorial Note: $45.00 in 1884 is the equivalent of $1,246.00 in 2017. daily. Call on me, as above, soon, and let me explain matters, terms, et ceteraAs Written:etc., and then you can better decide about entering the course. I wish to talk with you about it before it is too late, as none can come in after class opens. Not all who desire to join can be admitted, as inharmonies cannot intrude. I shall guard this beforehand, and money shall not stand in the way of success.
