"This volume is designed to contribute something toward supplying the demand in the public for further light on the subject upon which it treats, -- the cure of disease in ourselves and others by mental and spiritual agencies. The first work of the author having a relation to the subject, was published over twenty-two years ago. It was followed, at intervals of different length, by four other volumes, which have had an extensive circulation in every part of the country, and to some extent in Europe. It is not an incredible supposition that they have had an influence, more or less, towards generating in the public mind the widely-spread and growing belief of the mental origin of disease, and of the relation of the mind to its cure. The work is intended to take the reader up where the last volume of the author, "The Divine Law of Cure," leaves him, and conduct him still further along the same path of inquiry. It does not claim to have exhausted the subject, or to have said all that might be said; for the subject is one too vast to be crowded into so limited a compass, which would be like condensing the ocean into the dimensions of a lake. But it is to be hoped that enough has been said to vindicate the propriety of the title, -- that of "Elementary Lessons in Christian Philosophy and Transcendental Medicine." It was our aim to furnish the teachers and pupils of the spiritual philosophy of healing, with a text-book which should elevate the subject into the dignity of a science. The themes discussed are occasionally of an abstruse nature, but have been expressed in the clearest language at our command. It is not intended to wholly supplant the living teacher, but rather to aid his work by suggesting many things it does not say. The work is written also in the interest of self-healing, and contains the essential features of the instruction which the author has given to numerous persons during the last twenty years"--Preface.

In this volume the author has aimed to give the results of his study of Medical Psychology as a therapeutic agency, and the knowledge he has gained from many years' experience of the best methods of its application. He has not entered into a discussion of all the phenomena of the psychic force, but only those laws of its action that render it so efficient in the cure of all forms of mental and bodily disease. It contains the best light he could obtain from every accessible source, in relation to this primitive and apostolic mode of healing the sick.

"The preparation for the American public of a translation of Professor Dubois's "Les Psychoneuroses" has been undertaken with the conviction that its publication in this country would be particularly opportune at this time, when the effect of the mental representations upon the bodily conditions is attracting so much attention here, and when the problems connected with it are being attempted from so many and such various points of attack. It is a question as alluring as it is baffling, and it is not easy to preserve toward it an attitude at once open and balanced. Such an attitude, however, Professor Dubois has maintained from the start, and to it he owes the exceptionally convincing quality of his work. Whether in the opening chapters, where he discusses the fundamental philosophy underlying the position which he holds, or in the latter portion of the book, where he describes so clearly and charmingly the exact methods by which he has won such notable success, this sane and tranquil attitude is obvious. It is difficult to see how one who accepts the well nigh axiomatic premises with which the author sets out can avoid accompanying him quite to his conclusions, so logical and inevitable is his progress. By the time we reach the specific instances which illustrate the power of "moral orthopedics," of "persuasion," and of "education of the reason," the successes chronicled there seem to the reader, as to the author, the inevitable result of the "psychotherapy" which he practices. The strong, optimistic tenor of the book, its simple, untechnical language, and the directness with which its philosophy is applied to life, make it capable of becoming a vital fact, not merely to physicians, but to every one who has pondered on the relations between the psychic and the physical -- to every one, indeed, who honestly desires to keep down the sum total of needless suffering in the world. That psychic disorders require psychic treatment, that many distressing and dangerous nervous disorders are purely or primarily psychic -- these are the theses for which the book contends, together with the obvious completion of the syllogism. It is safe to say that not a day passes in which any one fails of an opportunity to apply the principles set forth by Professor Dubois, and it is in the hope that the publication of his book may promote the seizing of these opportunities, as well as prove illuminating to some of the most prevalent problems of the practitioner, that the American edition has been produced"--Preface.
