Claude-Generated Themes:   The Library of Health (1897–1900) was a New Thought mental-healing monthly issued by Charles Brodie Patterson's Alliance Publishing Company in New York, sister to his better-known journal Mind. Its contents — 'The Spiritual Science of Life,' 'Self-Control,' 'Power of the Will,' 'Mental Causes of Physical Disease,' 'The Giving of Mental Treatment' — lay out a program of mind-cure therapeutics: illness traced to mental causes and met by affirmation, right thinking, and mental treatment, with a hygienic gloss of breath and healthful living. It reads as mainstream turn-of-the-century New Thought, not as spiritualism, despite the recurring word 'control,' which here means self-mastery rather than a séance-room spirit.
