WHY PHYSICIANS FAIL TO CURE.

The reason that physicians have failed %
cure In the past is because they have not
understood the true cause Of disease They
have empiricaIIy given remedies because
they have been told by others or have read
in medical works that such and such a
remedy was good for such and such a dis-
ease. This = a theory based on a wrong
foundation. An disease IS due to a dtsorgan-
izatLon OF cell life. and when the cell life Is
restored TO its natural condition health Is
the result.
