Scatter-brained! No wonder he never accomplishes ring worthwhile ! 8? 1 Vt<A£| ■* HIS mind is a hodge-podge of half-baked ideas. He thinks of a thousand "schemes" to make money quickly— but DOES nothing about ANY of them. Thoughts flash into and out of his brain with the speed of lightning. New ideas rush in pell-mell, crowding out old ones before they have taken form or shape. He is SCATTER-BRAINED. His mind, is like a powerful automobile running wild — destroying his hopes, his dreams, his POSSIBILITIES! He wonders why he does not get ahead. He cannot understand why others, with less ability, pass him in the prosperity parade. He pities himself, excuses himself, sympathizes with himself. And the great tragedy is that he has every quality that leads to success — intelligence, originality, imagination, ambition. His trouble is that he does not know how to USE his brain. His mental make-up needs an overhauling. There are millions like him — failures, half-successes — slaves to those with BALANCED', ORDERED MINDS. It is a known fact that most of us use only one-tenth of our brain power. The other nine-tenths is dissipated into thousands of fragmentary thoughts, in day dreaming, in wishing. We are paid for ONE -TENTH of what we possess because that is all we USE. We are hundred horse-power motors delivering only TEN horse power. What can be done about it? The reason most people fall miserably below what they dream Of attaining in life is that certain mental faculties in them BECOME ABSOLUTELY ATROPHIED THROUGH DISUSE, just as a muscle often does. If, for instance, you lay for a year in bed, you would sink to the ground when you arose ; your leg muscles, UNUSED FOR SO LONG, could not support you. It is no different with those rare mental faculties which you envy others for possessing. You actually DO possess them, but they are ALMOST ATROPHIED, like unused muscles, simply because they are faculties you seldom, if ever, USE. Be honest with yourself. You know in your heart that you have failed, failed miserably, to attain what you once dreamed of. Was that fine ambition unattainable? OR WAS THERE JUST SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU? Analyze yourself, and you will see that at bottom THERE WAS A WEAKNESS SOMEWHERE IN YOU. What WAS the matter with you? Find out by means of Pelmanism; then develop the particular mental faculty that you lack. You CAN develop it easily; Pelmanism will show you just how; 550,000 Peimanists, MANY OF WHOM WERE HELD BACK BY YOUR VERY PROBLEM, will tell you that this is true. Among those who advocate Pelmanism are: T. P. O'Connor, "Father of the House of Commons." The late Sir H. Rider Haggard, Famous Novelist. General Sir Robert BadenPowell, Founder of the Boy Scout Movement. Judge Ben B. Lindsey, Founder of the Juvenile Court, Denver. Frank P. Walsh, Former Chairman of National War Labor Board. Jerome K.

Prince Charles of Sweden. — and others, of equal prominence, too numerous to mention here. Pelmanism is the science of applied psychology, which has swept the world with the force of a religion. It has awakened powers in individuals, all over the world, they did not DREAM they possessed. A remarkable book called "Scientific Mind Training" has been written about Pelmanism. IT CAN BE OBTAINED FREE. Yet thousands of people who read this announcement and who NEED this book will not send for it. "It's no use," they will say.
