Having tried the treatment of animals without apparent success...

Having tried the treatment of animals without apparent success, I was much gratified to read and test the mode of I. P. H. in the February Journal. My husband came from the stable one morning with word that a valued four-year colt had got into the oat bin, had been eating all night, and was "tight as a drum." I met the erroneous claim with an emphatic mental denial, and also entered a mental protest against voicing the belief to others. Was told to telephone to the store, if it seemed necessary. As soon as possible, though not immediately, I went to the barn yard, laid my hand on the horse's head, and said in an audible voice: "You are God's horse; for all that is, He made, and pronounced perfect. You cannot overeat, have colic, or be foundered, for there is no power in material food to obstruct, or interfere with the perfect health, activity, and freedom of all that is real and spiritual. This mortal belief of flesh, blood, and bones, has no more substance than a shadow, and a shadow can have no pain or discomfort." Previous to my treatment he stood with head down, and short, rapid breathing. At noon he was all right, and I was delighted to know how to realize for the good of animals.—S. D., Decatur, ILL.
