Half a million toymen have swal-lowed this poor man's psychiatry.Now they're set to try it on others

Dion«tics tsntt the Discovery of Fir*

Hubbard, you might gather from the fore-going, has discovered the key to success anddemonstrated once again that Barnum under-estimated the sucker birth rate.

But that, by Hubbard's own admission, isprobably the. least of his discoveries.

Unencumbered by the modesty that hog-ties ordinary mortals, Hubbard starts Ms book-THE BOOK, his followers call it-w«h thecalm assertion that "the creation of. dianeticsis a milestone for Man comparable to his dis-covery of (ire and superior to ftis inventionsof the wheel and Rws a«h.M

A few lines beyond, one learns that, with

f .,netics, "the intelligent layman can success-'» and invariably treat all psychosomatic

i w and inorganic aberrations."Farther on, one discovers that these psy-

chosomatic ills, "uniformly cured by dianetictherapy,'' include such varied maladies as eyetrouble, bursitis, ulcers, some heart difficul-ties, migraine headaches and the common cold.

But you ain't heard nothing yet. For Hub-bard's auditors (anyone with four dollars tobuy The Book and the stamina to read throughit can "audit" without further license) achievethese miracles by the simple process of re-

And that's Just the beginning.To dianetics-for individuals,
