Newsweek,

In a recent issue a reference is made to Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science that is rather misleading, not so much in what it says as in what it omits.

In a book review, faith-healing and mesmerism are mentioned. Phineas P. Quimby of Maine is referred to as "a remote disciple of mesmerism." The reviewer goes on to say: "Thus Quimby cured one Mary Baker Patterson of invalidism. It was she, as Mary Baker Eddy, who later decided that mind-healing had a divine basis and founded the Church of Christ, Scientist."
