Ainslie Meares

Are you troubled by insominia, migraine or fatigue? Do you get easily

relieve pain and strain, both mental and physical .... He gives the case
histories of patients who have overcome their disabilites and found them-
selves able to face life with renewed strength and hope."

Relief Without Drugs deals with the effect of anxiety and tensions on
speech, sex behaviour, smoking, nervous skin rashes, heart pain, appre-

man and woman.
