Methods of Psychic Development
Gloth, 50 cents
A discussion in clear and simple language, free from technical terms, of the laws, practices and results of psychic development. The little volume was written with the hope that it might deter its readers from attempting to practice many of the unwise methods of awakening psychism, which are so prevalent today, and cause them to regard more kindly and perhaps even to follow, the path of character development, which alone leads to true Illumination.
Ways to Perfect Health Cloth, 50 cents
This manual seeks to offer its readers a terse yet popular description of the fundamental laws of health, and to glean the more important facts from the existing mass of conflicting opinions. An attempt has also been made to weld together the discoveries of physical and occult scientists, and to show how those of one dovetail with those of the other. The suggestions offered have been person- ally tested by the author and their value is known.
The Secret of Happiness Cloth, 50 cents
It is difficult, but not impossible, to find true happiness while living among men, and engaged with the many problems, difficulties and trials of daily life. This book, the writing of which was in- spired by At the Feet of the Master, is an effort to explain in a commonsense, practical way, how such happiness may be found and imparted to others.

PEERAGE
This simple outline of the teachings of Theosophy is intended for those who are commencing their study of the subject, and to be of service to teachers of classes in elementary Theosophy. Its only recommendation is its simplicity and directness of statement, to attain which no effort has been spared.
