The "Cappy Ricks" story in your issue of January 11 contains the implications that Christian Science practice is the use of suggestion, and that it is good only for imaginary diseases. This is not in accordance with facts.

Suggestion is the supposed process of one human mind controlling or influencing another human mind. It is the operation of the so-called human will, and, as indicated in the "Cappy Ricks" story, may produce undesirable and even fatal results. Christian Science practice is the application of the power of the one infinite divine Mind, God. It is the operation of the unchanging laws of God, is wholly spiritual, and can produce only beneficial results, improving the recipient mentally, morally, and spiritually. It is as potent in the healing of organic disease as in the healing of so-called mental disorders.

That Christian Science is efficacious in the healing of organic disease is proved by the many thousands of authenticated cases of such healing. That it is in no way akin to suggestion or autosuggestion is clearly evident to any one who has made even a cursory study of the textbook of Christian Science, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
