A Common-Sense View of the Mind Cure

By Laura May Westall

Written at the turn of the twentieth century, this book offers a clear and accessible introduction to the principles of the Mind Cure, a movement emerging alongside New Thought and Christian Science but presented here without religious doctrine or mysticism.It explores how mental attitudes and emotional states may influence physical well-being, while maintaining respect for established medical practice rather than rejecting it.

Set within a period of intense interest in psychology, health, and self-improvement, the text reflects broader debates about the relationship between mind and body in Western thought. Its themes focus on personal responsibility, mental discipline, and the practical application of belief in the process of recovery.

Concise and plainly written, the work stands as a measured and thoughtful contribution to early mind-body discourse, highlighting the enduring appeal of integrating mental awareness into approaches to health and healing.
