"Mr. Wood is sufficiently well known as an 'unprofessional,' conservative psychologist to ensure thoughtful and respectful treatment of any effort he may make in this field; and we do not question that many persons will be richly rewarded for the attention they give to this, his latest work. The ordinary text-book on mental healing is an ill-digested medley of occultism, metaphysics and jargon. A special illumination is required to read it, and not even the author understands it. But Mr. Wood has taken pains to be lucid, is eloquent at times, and is always direct, fair-minded and hopeful. The most confirmed materialist might read with a degree of pleasure, and since investigation and belief seem to be tending in the direction of Mr. Wood's theories, it is likely that his comprehensive precept will largely lead to practice."

PROVIDENCE JOURNAL

"Lest the reader should not easily discover from his title, the subject of Mr. Wood's volume, one may explain it, roughly, as mind cure an attempt to find in mental causation both a scientific and a spiritual basis for bodily healing and health. The book is not too technical, it is interesting and suggestive even to those who believe that the great commission, 'Preach the Gospel and heal the sick,' has existed ever undivided in the church; who do not believe that a direct answer to prayer implies that God is subject either to change or improvement, or that a belief in the sacredness of relics, and the possibility of miracles wrought through them is what he terms 'pure superstition.' The first portion of his book is devoted to a study of the laws of Mental Healing; the second to restorative system of meditations arranged for private use. Mr. Wood's interest in the subject is unprofessional, and he is well known as an interesting, thoughtful writer upon cognate topics."

CHICAGO CHRISTIAN METAPHYSICIAN

"This volume will wear well, it has staying qualities, the plan is readily understood and can be used by a novice or a profound Scientist, the benefit realized differing only in degree since its use will always result in some good spiritually, mentally and physically. We heartily commend this latest, best and most helpful book by this thoughtful, progressive author. This is a book of purity and health, scientific and practical.

"Mr. Wood is of a nature that enables him and his writings to materially assist in the promulgation of the practical enlightenment which the truths of mental-healing (so long judged by the errors of its representatives) alone can give. An absolute truth eventually expresses itself; it is inevitable. And those whose aroused spirits have perceived and absorbed to ever so small a degree that spark which vitalizes human consciousness will necessarily keep on seeking new light from the same source; and those inclined to be somewhat 'irrational' in their flights will gain immeasurable good from Mr. Wood's clear, incontrovertible statements.

"The value of clear, direct announcement, insistently reiterated and kept before the thought is embodied in the system of 'meditations' which occupies the latter portion of the book. It will strengthen a negatively inclined mind and invigorate or leaven a positive one.”

PORTLAND TRANSCRIPT

"That the mental attitude affects the physical condition of humanity is an indisputable fact. That as a result there has been a great deal of 'mind-cure' knavery is also a fact. But there are underlying scientific principles in regard to this matter that are now receiving attention. We are glad to call the attention of our readers to a work upon this important subject by a man who is well known as a careful and capable writer upon psychological and metaphysical topics. The title of the book is Ideal Suggestion through Mental Photography. The author is Henry Wood, whose other books are 'God's Image in Man,''Natural Law in the Business World,' and 'Edward Burton,' a novel. He is an independent investigator and has given the subject much study besides having had unusual personal experience. The book should prove of great value to invalids if they are only intelligent enough to profit by its wise advice and are not those unfortunates who are ' enjoying poor health,' as the saying is."

"Its pure and elevated style is wonderfully attractive. This volume is one of rare value."- Boston Traveller.

"A notable treatise on the new theology of evolution." - Brooklyn Eagle.

"It is certainly instinct with spiritual vitality. It is filled with the light which the scientific method has kindled." -- Boston Home Journal.

“An honest, able, and promising effort to free faith from unnecessary incumbrances.”— New York Independent.

"Mr. Wood has done us a service, and we trust that many will receive from the same and subsequent volumes spiritual quickening." The Critic (New York).

"A volume full of deep and suggestive ideas from the standpoint of the theology of the divine immanence." The Christian Union (New York).

"The book cannot fail to prove helpful in the renaissance of Christianity tha is going on in our day.” — The Unitarian (Boston).

"The book is profoundly religious in tone, and breathes the spirit of the so-called new orthodoxy."- The Review of Reviews.

"The fact that the unseen universe is as accessible from America as from India is one which the Western thinker has been slow to grasp, and Mr. Wood has been perhaps the first to present it frankly yet delicately with an absolute absence of that occult assumption which has done more than anything else to prejudice the intellectual world against the investigation of psychic questions, involving an intimate acquaintance with one's own soul and its possibilities.” — Kansas City Mail. "The book is vigorous and suggestive." San Francisco Chronicle. "Mr. Wood writes for thoughtful men on serious topics.". Herald.

Chicago

"One need not always agree with Mr. Wood in his theories to take pleasure in reading his books. He is never dull; he is always reverent when speaking of things which others revere, though some of these things may be regarded by him as groundless superstitions; there are scores of excellent thoughts flowing from his pen, which serve to inspire one to better things than the common round of every-day grind. His Edward Burton' was an uplifting, religious novel, which has passed through several editions and will pass through many more, for it pleases the always-increasing American-nobility class - the readers whose motto is always and everywhere noblesse oblige." — British American Citizen (Boston).

"Mr. Henry Wood, who has gained many readers by his 'Natural Law in the Business World,' and by his articles upon religious subjects which have appeared in the magazines, has justified the hopes of his admirers in his last work, 'God's Image in Man,' in which he discusses some of the most important theological questions of the day in a most common sense manner. The author is an original thinker and depends for his statements upon neither dogma nor prejudice." · Bos ton Courier.

"The religious world could better afford to lose whole volumes of dreary commentaries and reflections among the tombs, and such like aids to future happiness and present somnolence, than one page of such illuminating and inspiring writing as this." Charleston News and Courier.

"It is both a pleasing and profitable book." — Chicago Inter-ocean.

"The book glows with both beauty and power." Journal.

Ohio State

"Mr. Wood is a keen and logical thinker, and a lucid and forcible writer." The Beacon (Boston).

"This new book, by Henry Wood, is the product of an intuitive perception of Truth. It presents the principle of Divine Science in an entertaining style, by illustrating the problem of Life in various examples, and in a manner that will prove most interesting and instructive to all thinking people."- Harmony (San Francisco).

"The author does not follow any strict logical or philosophical method, but gives free rein to the imagination, and his style is poetic rather than dryly argumentative. He is broad, catholic, and progressive in his views of religion, and logical. The volume is, on the whole, an earnest, catholic, thoughtful exposition of modern ideas of religion and man's relation to the universe; and many who have been hampered by the trammels of medieval thought may find help in this book." The Christian Register (Boston).

EDWARD BURTON.

AN IDEALISTIC METAPHYSICAL NOVEL.

"Edward Burton' would be called a religious novel. The fundamental thought is the outworking of souls toward light and love from the bondage of oppressive dogma and unreasoning belief. But, unlike many religious novels, the story is not dull, nor does the movement drag." The Christian Union (New York).

"A very powerful story, which holds the reader's attention from beginning to end. Into a pretty love-idyl the author has woven a vigorous account of the influence exerted by the numerous systems of theology, ethics, and sociology, which in our day excite so much attention."- Peterson's Magazine (Philadelphia).
