The independent., 1907-02-14

when Andrew Jackson Davis wrote
Natures Divine Revelations he
thought he was giving to the world the
grandest, compilation Of demonstrable
truth ever bound in cloth and put upon
the market at $1.50 per volume. In the
use of high-sounding phrases he certainly
did have some of the old masters look
ing like ten-cent novel by the side OF
Dickens complete in half-morOcco. But
after reading him, the average man really
didn't know what he had read IL any
thing the mysteries of life were shade
deeper than before. That which was a
mystery is a mystery no longer DIR. q.

has found out the whole story, and has
no object in living now save to let 1T be
known to the world. DR.. Grammer
knows it all-he says so himself-and he
makes this liberal offer: He will tell 1T
all to you, or to any other person who
can read plain English, for the nominal
sum of $25, one-half down, the balance
in two equal monthly installments. In
eaflet he informs you what you will get
when you get it, and the most important
fact is this: 1t will teach you how to
live on earth forever. No use of dying
at ALL and here is the argument:
"The law of change and growth pro-
vides that the cells which are worn out
and lost in our daily routine of work and
thought. shall also be daily renewed, or
replaced and exactly in the same ratio.
And the very day that the building or
living process decreases in its supply be-
low that of the disintegrating or dying,
and the proper ratio of cells and tissue
is not kept up; that every day old age and
decline begins to steal upon the indivi-
dual and keeps apace until 1t claims it's
victim for a habitation beneath the sod"
The doctors reasoning seems logical,
but is it? Years ago we had fine and
fat aunt who used to laugh great deal
and was splendid company because of
her everlasting good nature. And such
doughtnuts as that woman could make!
The cells worn out and lost in the daily
routine of her work were replaced every
day and then some Though a great
worker, the process of repair in her
fieshly tissues was always more rapid
than the tearing down and every year
she grew a bit heavier and found it much
more difficult to run up hill. One day
when she was about her regular house
hold duties she topped over and died,
and the doctors said it was apoplexy
This is merely to illustrate that it will
take something more than the rebuilding
of broken down tissue to establish eternal
life on this cold earth. 1t may be
worth it, but we can't come in on the
doctors game unless he lowers the ante.
Our impression is that the fellow is
fat fakir who will have to be dealt with
by Uncle Sam for using the mails to Sc
cure more money than is honestly COM
ing to him.
/ would not assume to hammer
On the cause of DR.. Grammer
Though in looking through the leaflets
that his minions sent to me,
There is born the strong conviction,
Without any contradiction,
That the doctor is faEir of a rather
low degree.
He would have his patron cherish
Hopes that he would never perish,
Fill him with the fool delusion he might
always stay alive;
All he need is proper knowledge
From this Amsterdamster's college,
And the knowledge from this college
may be had for twenty-five.
