and emoluments of the profession are re-
served for those who demonstrate their
abilities, and these are sufficient badges of
worthiness to establish the necessary dis
tinction between those who are competent
and those who are not.
The duties of the professional vitoso.
phist may be divided into the following
classes. 1t is not expected that everyone
will develop an equal aptitude for all of
these various features, therefore there is
abundant opportunity for the display OF
diversity of talent:
/. Public Lectures and Addresses Upon
the Principles of Vitosophy." This is the
natural and most attractive way of intro
ducing the subject to the attention of the
public. But 1t depends upon the eloquence
and attractiveness of the speaker as to
how much success will attend his effoTts.
People do not wish to be bored, and even
| the most attractive subject loses interest
when poorly handled. There is great
difference In speakers as to the class and
size Of audiences they are able to handle.
Some persons are able to interest 5000
people in political speech, where the
passions of men are already aroused. who
| would fail dismally in commanding the at
tention Of 500 with scientific subject
which requires calm thought and intelli-
gent investigation. There are few persons
who can command the absorbed attention
of more than 1000 persons under the most
favorable circumstances. There are many

larger crowds. Then there are others
who require the largest audiences to stim'
uate them to the performance of theil
best efforts There are still others who
do not succeed before audiences at all
but they are exceedingly powerful In per-
| suading individuals ana get good business
wherever they can get the privilege OF an
! interview. Some succeed best where they
solicit business in q house to house can
vass. Others rely upon their dignity aao
require the customer to seek them n
| their private consultation rooms. All OF
these methods are legitimate.
| Q. Examinations and Delineations Of
the Characters of Individuals" The pres.
entation of the truths of vitosophy creates
| natural desire In the persons who re-
ceive them to have delineatioHs of their
characters. AS soon as the truth of the
science is realized the conviction forces
itself upon the nearer that 1t Is a good
| thing to know the application or the
principles to his individual case. 1t is
hardly possible for vitosophist to lee.
! ture in community composed OF inteili'
gent people without receiving generous
support as soon as mis- presence pecoincs
known, and especially after he has made
a few delineations.
/ 8. FORMATION of Glasses and Individua
and Class instruction" This is an i'm
portant branch of the business, but to de
I'veIop 1t the vitosophist must have tn
| qualifications of the teacher. 1t Is on
thing to be perfectly versed in the knowl
edge Of the science and quite another e
| be able to impart that knowledge Y
others. Many persons who succeed ad
Imirably in public lectures fail In class
work, and. others who cannot lecture ac'
ceptably can teach small classes witt
great success. This is a matter that will
regulate itself to a great degree, and II
depends upon the social conditions to q
great extent Like the lectures and exam
| nations, however, the classes must be
advertised, and when the time comes te
| organize the class it will be manifest
whether there is 6. desire for 1t or not
The proper thing to do in all cases is tc
make the announcement and let the re-
suits take care of themselves
4. Healing Diseases" In this depart
ment the vitosophist stands entirely alone
He does not treat patients directly, and
