The advertisements for the journal said that it "lives up to its name, as it stands for improved mental and physical conditions or the greatest possible amount of information which will enable its readers to attain their ideal. Each number carries a message of uplift, inspiration and helpful suggestions for those who are striving to better the things they are now doing." Advertised in in Now, June 1915, Master Mind, September 1915, and in the Spiritualist (New York), February 1916, which also carries an advertisement by the same publisher for the pamphlet "The Rejected Stone," on the regeneration of the body "into a palace for the soul." Excerpts from other journals and occasional articles by Sydney A. Weltner, Essillyn Dale Nichols, C.F. Hubert, S.T.D.C., et al., and notable advertisements for the likes of "The Psychology of Salesmanship," "Will Alfalfa Renew Life," "Dollars Want Me," "How to Live Forever," "Yogi Self-Developer" by The Latent Light Culture of Tinnevelly, India), etc. The publisher of the journal was so swamped with "exchanges" from various New Thought magazines that he offered to send a pound of them to anyone sending 15 cents for the postage.

| Claude-Generated Themes:
|
New Thought Companion (held for 1914) is a representative New-Thought magazine of the Progressive era, built on the affirmative mind-cure vocabulary of success, prosperity, affirmation, concentration, and 'demonstration.' It pairs this metaphysics of achievement with the movement's drugless-health interests — breathing, diet, and physical culture — and a strand of phrenological self-culture offered as practical mental science. Its 'suggestion' is the auto-suggestion of the mind-cure school rather than clinical hypnotism, and an occasional reform note (woman suffrage) marks its Progressive sympathies. The result is a compact organ of success-and-health New Thought.
