meat Makes 1t Possible.

What gift can any man bestow upon
his family greater than good health? Not
only the good health of wife and children
but also his own strength must be con-
served or restored in order that he may
provide for those whom he loves.
The greatest gift that has ever been
made to mankind is the ability to work,
for 1t is only through labor that man
progresses. But you can't work when you
are sick. 1t is this condition that brings
hundreds of people to DR.. Carson at the
Temple of Health. Many are brought
there now, just before Christmas. that
they may be returned sound and well to
home and friends the best and the dear
est Christmas gift that could be wished
for.
And again, the great gift of healing
these people-the gift that has been placed
in DR.. Carson's keeping-is a blessing to
mankind that can hardly be computed.

miracles and is sacreligious." DR.. Car

that which you do not understand a

cordance with the natural law that the
Creator has made a basic principle Of
life The study of this law has been DR..
Carson's life work. It's application to
the healing of disease has been a great
satisfaction. The success of his method
is attested by over a hundred and fifty
thousand cases treated at the Temple of
Health and nearly all of these cases such
as had been pI onounced BY the family-
phys kaians, beyond the reach of medicine
or entirely hopeless Under these ctrcum-
stances. II one out of a thousand had
been healed, the work of DR.. Carson
would have been q boon to humanity, but
in spite of such difficulties nearly all of
this great throng went out from the Tenn
pie of Health with bodies restored, with
minds uplifted and with a desire for
cleaner, purer and nobler lives.
1T Is almost a daily occurrence for pa
tfents OF former years to call at the Tenn
pie of Health to extend to DR.. Carson
their best wishes and to again thank
him for his healing treatment and his
teachings which have enabled them to
live in health and strength while the
