  	    The treatment of insanity is especially interesting. 
  	However obstinate the case, it yields more readily than
 6	do most diseases to the salutary action of	                              Cure of
  	truth, which counteracts error. The argu-	                              insanity 
  	ments to be used in curing insanity are the same as in
 9	other diseases:  namely, the impossibility that matter,
  	brain, can control or derange mind, can suffer or cause
  	suffering; also the fact that truth and love will establish
12	a healthy state, guide and govern mortal mind or the
  	thought of the patient, and destroy all error, whether it is
  	called dementia, hatred, or any other discord. 
15	    To fix truth steadfastly in your patients' thoughts, ex-
  	plain Christian Science to them, but not too soon, — not
  	until your patients are prepared for the explanation, — 
18	lest you array the sick against their own interests by troub-
  	ling and perplexing their thought. The Christian Scien-
  	tist's argument rests on the Christianly scientific basis of
21	being. The Scripture declares, "The Lord He is God
  	[good]; there is none else beside Him." Even so, harmony
  	is universal, and discord is unreal. Christian Science de-
24	clares that Mind is substance, also that matter neither
  	feels, suffers, nor enjoys. Hold these points strongly in
  	view. Keep in mind the verity of being, — that man is
27	the image and likeness of God, in whom all b...eing is
  	painless and permanent. Remember that man's perfec-
  	tion is real and unimpeachable, whereas imperfection is
30	blameworthy, unreal, and is not brought about by divine
  	Love.
