No copies located by OCLC.Ernest S. Weltmer was a somewhat important figure in the history of New Age and occult movements in the United States. Born in Indiana in 1863 he was first called to the ministry and became a minister in the Methodist Church. Soon after though he became taken up with hypnotism and the power of suggestion and by the turn of the century was a well known figure in occult mental healing and metaphysical circles. Following his interests he took off the robe and in 1897 founded the Weltmer Institute of Practical Psychology in Nevada Missouri. It became one of the most famous mind cure institutes in the country. Like many he also conducted a mail order business of his lessons. He was denounced by the medical profession and brought up on mail fraud charges but unlike many of his fellow healers he was never convicted. He authored and published numerous books and lessons on hypnotism suggestion mental healing and occult laws of mind some of which circulated widely in metaphysical and New Thought communities. As he pre-dated Mary Baker Eddy and many kindred New Age movements in the field of mental healing he is now considered a pioneer in the field. People continue to read his books today. This periodical contains snippets of his Lessons in Practical Psychology and numerous articles. He eventually turned the institute over to his son Sidney and died in 1938.
