hundreds of recognized diseases Nor
hidity, introspection. fear, and selfish

Christian Scientists respect the hon

Cere physicians whose education and
practice have been along lines diamet-
riCally opposed to metaphysics. This
class of opponents will be honest in
investigating and accepting the higher
method. When called upon to admit
that medicine, either allopathic or
homeopathic. is a science, Scientists

John Mason Good. NJ. D.. F. r. S, of
London, England, says: THE effects
of medicine on the human system are
! in the highest degree uncertain, except,
indeed, that they have destroyed more
lives than war peStilenCe and famine
combined" Or. Oliver Wendell Holmes
declared that mankind had been
,, drugged to death and the world would
be better off if the contents of every
arothecary shop We're emrticd into

systematic or theoretical classification
of disease or therapeutic agents ever
yet promulgated is true, or anything
like true, and none can he adopted as
a safe guidance i'm practice"

spend years i'm deep research and prac-

mental causatiOn and in the therapeu-

deals almost entirely with physical

mental symptoms largely into account

have pronounced hopeless.
