The assertion that I have said hard things about my loyal students in Chicago, New York, or any other place, is utterly false and groundless. I speak of them as I feel, and I can not find it in my heart not to love them.

The world is flooded with false teachers and their literature; but dear Science and Health is a whole library in itself,—pure and beautiful. Its pages stand above the waves of error.
