[edit] Cause of death

Does anyone know of what Wallace Wattles died of ?

Thank you Elaine

[edit] Point of view

This article is obviously and completely biased. To wit:

"He personally "tested" the principles he describes in his book and they worked, as although he had lived most of his life in poverty, in his later years became rich."

and

"It was through his tireless study and experimentation that he discovered the truth of New Thought principles and put them into practice in his own life." Jessesamuel 21:50, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, this author has a mass following of hundreds of thousands of people-----100 years after he wrote the book.
I have personally read hundreds of testimonials that confirm that his methods are in fact time tested. You see, this author was more of a management consultant or applied psychologist as compared to a metaphysical writer.
The article does not do his writings justice. This article is below biased and less than neutral.... i.e. it does very little to promote the hundreds of groups that follow his teachings in over 150 countries.....
see: www.scienceofgettingrich.net to do your research....
In any event, his books are free online and there is nothing to promote except free knowledge.

[edit] This entire article is a copyvio.

This entire article is copied (plagiarized) line for line from

I suggest that it be rewritten immediately. Otherwise, because it is a copyright violation, it is likely to be removed from Wikipedia.

[edit] Completely rewritten

The article has now been completely rewritten, is no longer a copyvio problem, and contains more information. We still have not found the cause of death (see above), but the piece is at least not an embarrassment to wikipedia anymore.

[edit] Possible External Link

Hello, I am relatively new to Wikipedia, but I think this is the proper protocol for adding external links, placing them on the discussion page first? Can someone let me know if the following link is approved?

Read a book review on The Science of Getting Rich here.
