FOOTNOTES:
[1] Menticulture is the title of a book by the present author, whose mission is to declare a theory of the possible and very profitable eradication of the germs of all evil, and consequent unhappiness, which are commonly assembled under the class names of "anger" and "worry",—"anger" representing the aggressive, and "worry" representing the cowardly passions.
[2] Note: The motto of Optimism is, as elsewhere stated, "All can be, and therefore shall be, well."
[3] Note—I take this apt definition of "jealousy" from that excellent periodical—the organ of the League of American Wheelmen—"The Bulletin and Good Roads." Many good suggestions in menticulture accompany the excellent suggestions relative to good roads in this paper. Good thoughts are good roads to good action.
[4] Messrs. E. Lough and F. Kiesow, pupils of Professor Mosso, translated the fifth Italian edition of "Fear" into English, and Longmans, Green and Company published it in 1896.
[5] Two other brochures by Dr. Holcomb are published by the Purdy Company. They are "Condensed Thoughts about Christian Science" and "The Power of Thought in the Production and Cure of Disease."
