prevents coagulation of blood, and the re-
union of elements during circulation.
''If it were not for the electrical energy
which the blood receives from the atmos
phere there could be no electrolytic action
on food elements in the blood stream, and
the system could not gain the stored energy
which they contain. The energy released
from food elements is negative, or lower in
potential to that generated in the lungs
from the atmospheric gases; hence there is
mutual attraction and circulation of ener
gy. This constitutes the circulation of life,
bringing together, it does. the finest
products of all natures kingdoms.
Thus see the great necessity of
proper electrification Of the blood and its
influence upon the health and harmony of
the individual. If for any reason the air
is poor or devitalized, or if it fails to receive
the influence of the electrical sunlight, it is
obvious that when it is breathed into the
lungs the electrical action will be faulty,
the organism will not receive its proper sup
ply of energy, the resistance of the whole
system will be lowered and thus made sus-
ceptible to the attack of disease.
HOTBEDS OF DISEASE.
TO INTO the CROWDED tnedperS ana
churches and you will find them hotbeds of
disease and corruption, all on account of
lack of pure air. People crowd together,
breathing over and over again air which
has become devitiated by being surcharged
with carbon dioxide from their own lungs,
then they wonder why they feel so stupid,
why they take cold so easily. The reason
is plain, the carbon in once-breathed air is
dia-magnetic to that exerted by the lungs;
consequently, when breathed the second
time no electrical energy can be generated,
because there is no further chemical union
of the elements.
'If doctors and ministers would only
teach people the value of pure air, they
would, indeed, be teaching the laws of life.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon the
subject of ventilation. At the present time
all buildings are so constructed as to al
most exclude air; as consequence We
are fast developing into race of consump-
tives and nervous wrecks Every infant
born must fight for its life against the fear
full odds of vitiated and nonelectrified air;
under these conditions thousands of them
perish before they even taste the first fruits
of happy childhood with its open-air life
1--WE must remember that 500 grams Of
carboniferous decaying animal matter are
thrown off from the lungs every day. If
for any reason the surfaces of the lungs are
not cleared of this matter, what will be the
result? They become clogged, sluggish, and
proper electrification of the blood cannot
take place. The mass becomes hotbed for
the generation of tubercular bacilli, which
appear by the million, as result, and not

race. The lack of proper ventilation and
open-air life is the bane Of civilization. If
the human lungs had plenty of moving air.
without draught, and the human race had
sufficient of substantial food, with less of
the worry and waste of energy used in
gaining the latter, there would be such a
decrease in the death rate from consump-
tion that within the period of few years
the disease would scarcely be known.
"In this age we are still taught that dis
ease is an entity, devil a microbe. some
thing that must be driven out by some
heroic medication, or killed by some pois-
onous serum. This idea of disease is wrong
because 1t Is contrary to natural law. 1t can
bring nothing but disappointment to the
physician and sorrow to the suffering mil
lions Of the earth. In the name of progress
and natural law, must emphasize the fact
that the primary cause of all disease is the
lack of sufficient vital energy to keep the
human system at proper potential, which
gives it the power of resistance to with
stand the opposing forces of nature. In
other words it is a diminution of the nor

human organism
Dr. Atkins cited many authorities and re-
ported many of his own experiments to sus-
tain his position.
