The Cure Of Consumption

The Cure Of Consumption
During the past ten years l have had
numerous opportunities to test the eff
cacy of vitosophicai methods in cases of
consumption. So many people write to
me asking what these methods are that 1
have concluded to publish some of my
replies. There is no doubt in my mind
that consumption is simply the blight of
the human constitution resulting from
the absence of earth, water, food, COM
panionship magnetism air and liberty in
right proportions and proper tempera-
lures. A brief and concise direction of
how to apply these conditions of life is
all that is necessary to convey to the
afflicted the information necessary to eff
feet cure This information, however,
must vary with the temperament of the
persons afflicted to lie effective. Vitps-
ophy differs from every other system of
healing, in the fact that we treat the
character of the invalid instead of the
disease. When the character of the in
valid is corrected he ceases to be an in
valid, because cor: ect character is
never sick.
My observations have convinced me
that fully 70 per cent of the cases re-
garded as consumption of the lungs are
in reality catarrh of the stomach and
digestive organs. Very few physicians
seem to be able to differentiate between
these classes of cases. If there Is a vast
ing of the tissues and profuse expectora-
ton the case is generally diagnosed as
consumption of the lungs.
Vitosophy furnishes an easy method of
arriving at the correct conclusion by an
examination Of the temperament of the
patient If the patient has an acid tenn
permanent consumption of, the lungs is
practically impossible, because the lungs
are the strongest part of the constitu-
tion, and the last part that wilp die.
l recently had occasion to give advice
to a lady of the electric-mental-acid tenn
permanent who was supposed to be well
advanced in consumption of the lungs. l
herewith publish the vitograph in full
for the benefit of all persons of the same
temperament who may be similarly af-
fiicted.

An examination of your character dis
closes the fact that you have an extreme
type Of the electric-motive-acid tempera-
ment, which is favorable to long life and
happiness in a southern climate, but
which is very unfavorably affected by the
conditions of life as they exist In Indi-
| ana. You are paying the penalty OF a
wrong environment, and the long and
serious illness from which you have suf-
fered is the natural result. The electric
temperament gives you dark complexion
and dark hair and eyes. dark skin and all
