As far back as 1862 I left my manuscripts on mental healing in the hands of Dr. P. P. Quimby. In 1867 I taught the first student ever taught since the days of the Apostles, Christian Science, a purely metaphysical system of healing.* Dr. Evans had on his professional card in 1868 "Magnetism in its higher applications".
