EDITOR FREEMAN Il feel that | owe no one
au apology for writing GU the subject of disease
| only ask the privilege of showing such the
way of life as have hitherto been unable to find
it. need aggrieve no one if they may obtain
the goal they are so anxiously seeking, while |
shall bring much joy to the hearts of the affic-
ted ones. If is the testimony that bring to
which ask the readers attention, and ask him
to consider whether such cases, cured, perfectly
cured by abandoning all drug medication, and
adopting certain other measures, is not sufi-
cient evidence that there is very great remedial
virtue in the measures and appliances herein,
and heretofore, advocated in these articles |
know that the mass of mankind believe in the
use Of drugs, poisonous drugs-al kinds of
poisonous drugs-and that the majority of ply
sicians believe IN, and administer these to their
patients. l do not believe in the use of these
things. This is simply the difference between
us. With this difference without casting a
word of reproach upon any one, am content.

and still be durable, find to be very interest
ing question with the sick. Since writing the
few articles already published have received a
number of inquiries on this point. As it in
terests thousands everywhere, give a case il
Illustrative of the subject in another column of
this paper. 1t will be found in connection with
my advertisement. The lady is aliving witness
to what is therein stated, and may be consulted
as her name and residenc, is given. The case
is not over stated-some of its worst features
even have been omitted She had labored years
for health, bat in vain She has secured it in
a few months. She has suffered long years Of
agony for naught She need never have been
sick for month. Her history is but the hsto.
ryof thousands who may just as we'll be restor
ed as to continue in sickness and suffering. Hers
is butan illustration of thousands of cases that
have already been restored by the same means
Now how was this thing accomplished ? BY
abandoning all drug medication, and developing
the innate resources of the organism itself
My dear sick friends, let me tell you that God
has placed within the organism of each one O
us, a recuperative power sufficient to restore III
in all ordinary cases of disease, and in many o
the most extraordinary, and that in the develop
ment and regulation of this force, we may Sc
cure recovery when all other resources fail
The time is coming when we shall be astonisheC
that any one should ever have doubted this
But the simplest principles and most self-eviden
truths have all been doubted in their turn
Could the world turn on its axis? 1t WAS one,
thought impossble Who believed in the cir
culation of the blood when Harvey first assor
ted it? Almost nobody We must therefor,
investigate, and candidly look at facts, devel
opments and principles in relation to health an
disease, and see if there are not some grea
truths just coming to light of the utmost i'm
portance to the health and happiness of the hu
man race
