The Philosophy of P. P. Quimby Annetta G. Dresser

A pioneer in the 19th-century "New Age" philosophy known as New Thought, Phineas Quimby developed a system of mental healing that put right the "disordered mind" that, he believed, creates disease. So popular and efficacious were his methods that his former patient ANNETTA DRESSER decided to spread the word of Quimby's discoveries. In this 1895 work, Dresser's only book, she tells Quimby's life story; shares his radical new methods of healing, which he first used to save his own life; and introduces us to other patients healed by Quimby's ministrations. Anyone interested in the New Thought movement or the possibility of healing illness through the mind will be fascinated by Dresser's account
