mental or physical work.
AS rule, when one is sick, the first
thing to do, and often the only thing
necessary, is to stop eating and drink
plenty of lemonade, which is a good
means of aiding elimination through
skin and kidneys. Eat nothing till
there is distinct, desire for food;
then begin with a little easily digested
food and increase gradually. The
bowels should be free SO as to save
expenditure of vitality. The inclina.
ton to recline should be complied
with.
Overlooking, causing accumulation
Of waste in the system and resulting
congestion, physical and mental, is
the chief physical cause of disease
Health, therefore depends, on the
physical side, upon avoiding over
feeding, while supplying every ele-
ment of nutrition, some of which are
wanting in the accidental dietaries fol-
lowed by many.
To "eat anything" because the i'm
is realized, is as wrong as to think
anything" because the food is right.
The liver can make glycogen or liver
sugar from beef, but much easier from
toast or prunes. Albumen, essential
to life, is contained only in certain
foods. To eat the right food and
worry about it, is no better than to
worry about something else and eat
the right food. Worry kills; so does
wrong eating.
Children have more diseases than
adults because a child has greater
central vitality to be used in eliminat-
ing the ills of heredity than an adult.
Unless the child gets too much food or
unnatural food, or not enough of the
right food, together with proper air,
light, water, variety of exercise of the
mind through the use of the objective
faculties and of muscular exercise -
unless the child is improperly nour-
ished (and nurtured) it will be sick
in the right way, the positive way.
Measles are good for a child that has
in the system by heredity, unwhole-
some conditions that must be elimin-
ated if it is to grow up healthy in
body and mind. Do not stop or drive
in the measles, nor any other disease;
aid nature in elimination. Provide
carefully proper nutrition and give ma
ture a chance.
Nutrition-this is life. Maintain
proper nutrition and nature will do
the rest. 1t is natural to be we'll, not
sick Sickness is but the evidence Of
health, the healthy effort of nature to
right wrong conditions. A dead man
cannot be sick.
The pain you feel is the result Of
natures effort to restore normal con-
ditions; therefore be thankful that
you are "sick," for it is sign that
you will soon be well-if the vitality
is not too far exhausted and if too
many obstacles are not put in natures
way. And there are two important
signs that may be depended upon,
positive and negative. If the patient
suddenly "gets better" before the
natural course of natures curative
process has run, or if there is abso-
sultely no desire to live, the end is
near. But if there is a vigorous eff
fort on the part of nature to restore
normal conditions, there is health al
ready, the abnormal form of health
commonly called sickness: this is al
ways a favorable sign and If the
crisis is developed naturally and the
positive forces prevail at that point,
the normal condition will gradually re-
turn. The natural process of natures
cure may be helped or hindered.
Desire, intensified, ripening into
faith and faith into will, the will to be
well, has an influence ON health Of
vast Importance. This is being recog-
pized and applied practically, shorn of
the superstition which has long at
tached to it because it was not under.
stood, in the Emmanuel Movement"
and in the practice of the scientific
physician, is a we'll spring of health
and happiness.
