II.

AFTER DEATH; OR DISEMBODIED MAN. Sixth and enlarged edition; with notice of the author. $2.00. Postage, 24 cents.

“No modern work ever created such astonishment and surprise, especially among Ministers and Theologians.”

“This new work is, by far, the most important and thrilling that has yet fallen from the author’s pen, inasmuch as it discusses questions, concerning our state and doings after death, that heretofore have been wholly untouched, and, perhaps, would have been for years had not this bold thinker dared to grapple with them. For instance, do we eat, drink, dress, sleep, love, marry, beget our kind, after death? These and many other most astounding and thrillingly interesting subjects are thoroughly treated in this very remarkable volume.”

“No other living man could have penned such a work as this. The immortal tenth chapter, concerning sex after death, is alone worth a hundred ordinary books.”

A work of this extraordinary character is, indeed, rare. It can only be had direct from my office.

VII.

The WHOLE, instead of a part, of the quite Extraordinary ANSAIRETIC MYSTERY — the fourth Rosicrucian Revelation Concerning Human Sex, and, as thousands can testily, the most astounding that has ever yet appeared anywhere on earth; and while there is not a word or line or suggestion in it, or in the third Revelation, that favors anything that could make an angel blush, yet they go to the very foot of the subject. Said a celebrated agitator, on hearing a portion of them read: “What do you charge for that astonishing writing?” alluding to about one-fifth of the whole. “Five dollars; as it is hard work to write it out.” “Five dollars! Why, it is worth $500 to any one on earth with an ounce of brains, or a thrill of Man or Womanhood left in them!” Well, I looked up the Oriental MSS., and copies can be had of me, and if the mighty things therein — things not even dreamed of in these cold, practical lands — are not found to be worth ten times the sum, then the sublimest secrets the world ever held must wait another century for appreciative souls.

To those whose orders hereafter reach $5 at one time, a fine likeness of the author, by Poole, of Nashville, Tenn., will be sent as a premium, and the Ansairetic Mystery will be given gratis, and without any charge whatever, but only when requested in letter of remittance with return stamps.
