Is.
All force is generated within from
the life ssentials-air, food and wa
ter. The same elements exist for
all persons, but all persons do not
have the same force. While the diff
ference may be one of temperament
or constitution, l am inclined to think
it is more largely due to the fact that
the elements within reach are not
utilized
Prof Riddell has aptly said: THE
electric dynamo is expression of pow
er. There are four general ways in which
it may be directed: % 1t may be
passed through the motor of the cleo
trio car and the force is expressed
as power; CD it may be passed as
sympathetic current through the
little wire of the incandescent bulb,
and it becomes light; 90 it may be
forced through wire with heavy re-
sisting power, and it becomes heat;
ca but ground the wire and the cur
rent is wasted"
Let us apply this principle to tie
human dynamo, and see how much 1t
has to do with personal magnetism"
physical, mental, spiritual.
In every man and woman there is
life battery, so to speak; a creative
force a life principle which, like the
electric current, may be used in four
special ways: % You can pass 1t to
the muscles and build it into tissue,
and it becomes power-physical
strength (2) you can direct it to the
brain, and it becomes light-intellec-
tual brilliancy and mental vigor; CD
you can direct it to the emotions and
it becomes heat-feeling, love, sympa-
thy; (4) but if you dissipate the force
you will have neither physical
strength, mental vigor nor emotional
warmth 1t will readily be seen that
you cannot waste the force in any
direction without detracting, in a cor
responding degree. from your
strength of personal magnetism" in
other directions.
Science says: That which we call
vitality or life is, in its physical sense,
electricity. 1t is taken into the sys-
TEN from the air and sunshine, and
is generated in the digestive organs
by the chemical action of food and
drink"
AS all electrified bodies tend to part
with their magnetism to the earth,
it follows that the human electricity
is being constantly subjected to this
influence. Should it be drawn off in
undue proportion to the needs of the
body, the system becomes weak and
deranged. 1t thus becomes neces-
sary to conserve the human electri-
city. This is done by insulation, by
placing a non-conducting substance
between the body and the earth, and
thus check the drain. Insulation is
4 scientific safeguard. This is not
mere speculative theory but the re-
suit of thorough investigation and
practical demonstration. However,
if a conclusion is logical it matters
little whether it is deduced from
theory or practice.
IT'S is especially true of the fol
lowing experiments, the results OF
which may not be very readily accept
ed by the general public; viz, all
things being equal, the left side of |
the body is negative and the right |
side is positive; the front of the |
body is positive, the back is mega
tive. You take in this human cleo |
tricity through the negative side of
Of
through the right If anyone is on |
the right side to draw it. This the |
writer has scientifically proved to the |
fullest satisfaction of the honest skep- |
tic. Therefore, it is well to remem- |
Der the trite but true saying: cal
ways keep on the right side of a per-
son." TITS true, this has been used
only figuratively, but it is of great |
importance literally.
By observing this precaution you |
will be able to protect yourself from
the human parasites that exist in |
every community This is a protec-
ton of that physical magnetism so
essential to ones vital force. All |
things considered, it is best to sit |
in a position facing your visitor
be he friend or foe-unless an ex-
change of magnetism is desired.
These human parasites draw not only |
upon your physical forces, but upon
the mental and nervous, also. unless |
you understand how to make yourself
either positive or negative at will. |
If you are lacking in personal mag
netism' (physicaD, and you should |
ride or walk or sit with one who is
physically strong, you should take
that opportunity of loading up" by
keeping on the right side.
Whenever two persons sleep to-
gether. and one is restful while the
other is restless you may depend
upon it that the restful one is un
consciously drawing the life force
of his or her companion. 1t does mo-
always follow that the weaker draws
from the stronger; nor is it ques
ton of right side, front or back whel
one is sleeping: /. e., owing to thu
