f \ugust 7, 1920 Why Live An Inferior Life? Your Success Guaranteed The Subtle Principle of Success HIS subtle principle in my hands, without education, without capital, without training, without experience, and without study or wasie of time and without health, vitality or will power has given me the power to earn more than a million dollars without sclling merchandise, stocks, bonds, books, drugs, appliances or any ma- terial thing of any character. This subtle and basic principle of success requires no will power, no exercise, no strength, no energy, no study, no writing, no dieting, no con- centration and no conscious deep breathing. There is nothing to practice, nothing to study, and noth- ing to sell. This subtle and basic principle of success does not require that you practice economy or p records, or memorize, or read, or learn, or force urself into any action or invest in any stocks, bonds, books or merchandise. This subtle principle must not be confused with Metaphysics, Psychology, New Thought, Christian Science, arbitrary optimism, inspiration or faith. No one has yet succeeded in gaining success without it. No one has ever succeeded in failing with it. It is absolutely the master key to success, prosperity and supremacy. My True and Actual Experience When I was eighteen years of age, it looked to me as though I had absolutely no chance to suc ceed. Fifteen months altogether in common public school was the extent of my education. I ad no money. When my father died, he left_m twenty dollars and fifty cents, and I was earning hardly enough to keep myself alive. 1 had no friends for I was negative and of no advantage to any one. I had no plan of life to help me solve any problem. In fact, I did not know enough to know that life is and was a real problem, even though | had an cute problem of life’ on my hands. I was blue and despondent and thoughts of eternal misery arose in my mind con- stantly. I was a living and walking worry machine. I was tired, nervous, restles: I could not sleep. I could not digest’ without distress. 1 had no power of application. Nothing appealed to me. Nothing appeared worth doing from the fear that I could not do anything because of my poor equipment of mind and body. I felt that 1 was shut out of the world of success and I lived in a world of failure. I was such a pauper in spirit that I blindly depended on drugs and doctors for my health, as my father before me. 1 was a ‘“‘floater” and depended on luck for success. The result of this attitude on my part was greater weak sickness; (allore'and misery as is always the under similar conditions. Gradually my condition became worse. | reached a degree of misery that seemed intolerable. I reached a crisis in my realization of my failure and adverse condition. Out of this misery and failure and pauperism of spirit—out of this distress—arose within me a desperate reaction—‘‘a final effort to live’ —and through this reaction, arose within me, the discov- ery of the laws and principles of life, evolution, personality, mind, health, success and supremacy. Also out of this misery arose within me the discov- ery of the inevitable laws and principles of failure and sickness and interiority. ase When I discovered that I had unconsciously been employing the principles of failure and si ness, I immediately began to use the principles of success and supremacy. My life underwent an almost immediate change. | overcame illness through health, weakness through power, inferior evolution by superior evolution, failure by success, and converted pauperism into supremacy. 1 discovered a principle which | observed that all successful personalities employ, either con- sciously or unconsciously. 1 had but one disease failure, and therefore there was but one cure — success and I began to use this principle and out its use arose my ambition, my powers, my educa tion, my health my success and my supremacy, ete, ete. You also may use this principle of success deliberately, purposefully, consciously and profitably. Just as there is a principle of darkness, there is also a principle of failure, ill health, weak- ness and negativeness. If you use the principle of failure, con- sciously or uncon- sciously, you are sure always to be a failure. Why seek success and su- premacy through blindly” seeking to find your path through the maze of difficulties? Why not open your “mental eyes” through the use of this subtle success principle, and thus deliberately and pur- posefully and consciously and successfully advance in the direction of supremacy and away from failure and adversity? I discovered this subtle principle —this key to success —through misery and necessity. You need never be miserable to have the benefit of this subtle principle. You may use this success prin- ciple just as successful dividuals of all time, of all countries, of all races, and of all religions have used it cither consciously or unconsciously, and as | am using it consciously and purpose- fully. It requires no education, no prepara- tion, no preliminary knowledge. ‘Any one can use it. Any one can harness, employ and capi- talize it, and thus put it to work for success and suprema Regardless of what kind of success you desire, this subtle principle is the key that opens the avenue to what you want.

Hughes Richard Mansfield Benjamin Abraham Lincoln Shokespe Franklin George Washington Richard Wagner and thousands and thousands of others—the names of successful men and women of all times and of all countries, and of all religions and of all colors, make a record of the action of this subtle principle of success. None of these individuals could have succeeded without it. No one can succeed without it —no one can fail with it. 27 We Owe Each Other Everyone realizes that human beings owe a duty to each other. Only the very lowest type of human being is selfish to the degree of wishing to profit without helping someone else. This world does not contain very great numbers of the lowest and most selfish type of human beings. Almost everyone, in discovering something of value, also wants his fellowman to profit through his discov- ery. This is pre ly my attitude. I feel that I should be neglecting my mos* important duty to- wards my fellow human beings, if I did not make every effort —every decent and honest effort —to induce everyone to also benefit to a maximum ex- tent through the automatic use of this subtle principle. I fully realize that it is humen nature for men and worren to have less confidence in this principle because Tam putting it in the hands of thousands of individuals for a few pennies—at less than the actual cost of mailing, writing. co posing and advertising it but I cannot help the negativ pression I thus possibly create, I must ful the same. I do not urge any one to procure it becau.e I offer it for a few pennies. but because the results are great—very great This subtle principle is so absolutely powerful and over- mastering in its influence for good. profit. prosperity and suc- cess, that it would be a sin if I kept it to myself and used it nly for my personal benefit. So sure am I of the truth of my statement—so absolute ly postive am 1 of the correctness of my assumpt: dso absolutely certain am I that this principle in your hands, will work wonders for you that I am wiling to place this principle in your hands for twenty-four hours at my risk and expense. You will recognize the value of this principle within twenty four hours—in fact. almost immediately as you become con scious of it, you will realize its practicability, its potency. it reality. s power and usability for your personal profit pleasure. advancement. prosperity and success. Thousands of individuals claim that the information disclosing and elucidating the secret principle of success is worth a thousand dollars of anyone's money. Some have written that they would not take a million dollars for it. You will wonder that | do not charge a thousand dollars for this information—for disclosing this princi after you get it into your possession and realize its tremendous power and influence. 1 have derived such tremendous reslts—amazing results {rom its power, that I want every man, woman and matured child to have this key to success, prosperity and wealth. This ts why I am willing to send it to any one—to y address—on approval without a single penny in advance. You would never forgive me and | could never forgive myself, nor could the creative forces of the Universe forgive us, if J failed to bring you to the point of using this subtle principle of success. | You, vould never forgive me if I aed to do for you that which you would do for me. if our SEND NO MONEY.
