Good Results From Short, Fast and
Deep Breathing.

UOOu htSultS FROM SilOFt, TdSt anu
Deep breathing.
A fast of one or two days will be
of great benefit to many people while
at the same time they apply the
Psychic-Rhythmic Breathing under
standingly.
The bowels should also at such
times be cleansed out by flushing
with luke warm water, using a foun-
tain syringe.
The skin capillary circulation
should also be kept active so there
will be a good warm circulation to
the surface over the whole body.
In such a case the Steam VapOr
Baths, Massage and Magnetism comes
in good when administered according
to each individuals needs. Then no
cold will be contracted.
Many who are suffering with chron-
ic colds, aches and pains can be re-
lieved by these hygienic and natural
methods, and so instructed that they
can help themselves.

Fasting and Deep Breathing.-The
Publication of the Body.

The shortest way to attain purifi-
cation of the body is by fasting.
Fasting is a subject containing mys
terry in itself to most people, which
will be revealed to those who want
to study the same and follow out its
principles in their daily lives. But
while fasting the Psychic Rhythmic
Breathing should be understood and
faithfully, constantly, and with posi-
tive thought applied to produce the
best desired results. The Power of
Thought must be properly and un-
derstandingly applied. The power of
thought so applied is really the spirit
and soul will in action.
If you wish at heart to purify the
body and relieve it of all diseased
conditions Obsessions, impure
thoughts and unholy desires, and
also the elimination of all waste and
foreign matter, including uric acid
in the system, which has been ac-
cumulated in the habits and indulg-
ences of the past years, fasting jul
diciously conducted, together with
the Psychic Rhythmic Breathing will
produce results that will eliminate
disease, clear the mind and prOlong
life i'm the body.
You will find when the digestive
tract becomes less burdened and al
most empty you can inhale at least
double the quantity of air which will
greatly aid In the elimination lex
peD of the encumbrances and i'm
purities of the body and rid 1t of the
disease producing causes. This elm

ney, liver, heart, and bowels ESQ to
speak, and the great medium of
nervous and vascular (blood ves-
sci, etc. expansion.
Therefore, the skin is the seat of
thrilling sensibilities, and exquisite
tactile endowments. Consequently
it is of the utmost Importance that
the skin and the whole capillary
circulation are in full normal con-
dition to maintain health.
The proper diet, thorough mastica-
ton digestion, absorption, assimila-
ton, and nutrition-these are all
essential parts of successful treat
ment in each individual case.
All kinds of baths are used as each
person may require to obtain the
best results and effect cure-such
as Steam Vapor Baths, Full Conn
press Packs, Friction Baths, Sitz
baths, etc. Syphilitic taints, and
other venereal objections can be elm
mated and expelled from the sys-
tenn by these treatments, and the
last vestage of these destructive en-
cumbrances and impurities elected
from the organizm if the persons who
will reasonably well carry out instruc-
tions and work in harmony with me.
Producing desired results are the
best proofs.
In all chronic diseases of any name
or nature the mind is also sick. The
body and the objective mind sleep at
night-but the subjective or soul
mind never sleeps. This mind must
be reached and changed in itspsychic
actions within the organism.
Man is really a tripertate being
body, soul and spirit. Hence there
must be full co-ordination-harm
within the whole being of man to be
healthy and happy.
Here suggestion will DO its part,
and must be of a mental tonic ma
ture, not Oppressive. That is to say,
it must not be administered in the
hypnotic state or trance, but directed
to the waking consciousness in order
that the person may accept it and
respond to it by the exertion and
force of his own will, not coerced by
the will of another.
Here the sOul-cOnsciOus will
when awakened is a wonder worker,
and is we'll nigh all powerful on
these lines.
But while the system is burdened
with impurities and membranes,
pressing upon nerves and nerve CEN
tiers, obstruCting the free flow of the
vital force within the organiZm, man
cannot thus apply this soul conscious
will.
How to live the regenerated life
comes i'm here to save and utilize the
vital force.
If your organs and the system are
out of order l can help you so that
the encumbrances and impurities
can be eliminated from the system
making the organs work freely and
naturally in a healthy manner, and
so instruct that you can help your
self.
