ease whose current of magnetism was
| flowing in the right direction. There are
seven principal organs of the human
| body and these organs are represented by
seven great functions, and the proper
performance of these functions means
| health. When any function is deranged
| through the obstruction of filth, which is
simply matter in the wrong place, we
have disease. The seven principal organs
| of the body are the sexual. skin, digestive,
| heart, cerebrum, lungs and cerebellum,
represented by the respective functions
| of generation, depuraion, nutrition, cir
| culation, observation, respiration and ex-
preston. If any Individual is deformed
| in his generation he is pretty sure to be
sick tho rest of his life. There are some
people who come into the world with club
| feet or hair lip. In the sense of deformity
| 1t is quite possible for person to have
| a club stomach or a hair liver. That is
| to say, the stomach or liver which Is
| deformed, which cannot perform its nor"
NAL functions, and when anything of this
| kind occurs it is beyond the skill of man
to rectify 1t completely, though much can
be done by way of palliation Depura-
| ton is the action of the skin, and 1t Is
right here that most diseases originate.
| AS long as depuration is properly per-
| formed and the skin throws off impurities
of the body the chances of good health
are largely in the majority, and this IS
certain If nutrition be well performed
and 1t Is in the neglect of depuration and
nutrition that nearly all cases of catarrh,
consumption asthma, bronchitis and SINH
lar diseases have their origin, and when
these functions are restored to perfectly
normal conditions these diseases diSap-
pear. 1t is the sheerest folly for con-
sumptives and other similarly afflicted
persons to depend upon medicines or any
| ttsit 0f1
and depuration are permitted to be in
terfered with, yet it is right here that
we have the most trouble. 1t is the
hardest thing in the world to persuade
consumptive or person affiicted Win
cararrh to keep dope out of the stomach
and to inaugurate the natural methods
by which efficiency may be restored to
the skin and digestive organs
Disturbance of circulation is manifested
by fevers chills and headaches. 1t is
fact that disturbance of circulation can
hardly occur when depuration and nutri-
ton are properly performed, except IN
the case of injuries, when the circulation
is sufficiently deranged and intense
The interference with observation pro-
duces delirium or insanity and when the
filth has accumulated in sufficient guam
titles in the stomach and the digestive
organs to be regurgitated into the bron-
chial tubes and thrown into the lungs
we have that form of affiction incident
to asthma and consumption, and If the
arrangement is permitted to be OF long
standing and become chronic it may in
terefere with expression in the form of
paralysis
TShese are all the diseases that can
occur, all that ever did or ever will
occur to the human race. The various
forms of special diseases which seem to-
affiict different organs of the body are
simply the working out of these same
conditions, attacking whatever may be
the weakest organ in the individual.
The problem is wonderfully simplified
when we come to consider that if de-
formity does not exist and the individual
starts out with fair chance for life,
none of the. other conditions can exist
until depuration, nutrition and circula-
ton are disturbed.
The problem of keeping healthy, there
fore, in most cases resolves itself into a
cimple purifying of the body and pro-
noting these three functions, and the
marvellous record of cures which has
been reached by vitosophical methods
depends almost entirely upon the recig"
milton of this fact.
In vitosophy we do not stop to diagnose
diseases. We do not know and we do
not care to know the vast number of
pains and aches and complications that
have been experienced as penalty for
past mistakes. We recognize the simple
fact that every sick man is a dirty man,
and every sick woman needs cleaning
and we go about it accordingly
We know that the penalty must be paid
for deformity If 1t exists, and therefore
we do not take that into consideration as
factor but do the best we can whether
1t exists or not. We know that if we get
the body to depurating, If we get clean
and clear nutrition established and the
circulation equalized, that the. best con-
dition possible will be induced in that
body in very short time, and this is all
that we think about or act upon, but
very energetic measures are pursued to
obtain these ends.
We know that the great force of human
magnetism flowing in the right direction
is the most potent cleanser of the human
body that can be invoked, and we estab
lish this current in a way that produces
istant results. @
When we get the Individual clean inside
and out, when we learn and control the
current Of magnetism, we have pro-
duced a condition which renders diseases
impossible and in as far as this method
is conscientiously followed disease is abso
lutely banished.
The principal difficulties encountered
are the unwilingness with which dis
eased persons will lay aside established
customs and adopt the radical methods
which vitosophy sometimes declares
necessary We are also seriously ham,
pered by the inability or unwillingness of
the diseased persons to provide or make
use of the necessary conditions for bath
ing and exposure to the natural condi-
tions of life.
Probably the most serious obstacle is
the fact that almost every person who
would gladly avail himself of the benefits
of vitosophy is surrounded by host of
friends and relatives who think they do
not need the conditions imposed and who
continually make it impossible for an,
individual to conform to them. However,
large number of persons do gain these
benefits, and in future articles it will be
my pleasant duty to explain how they
may be obtained.
