The work of the therapst is to bring about
by purely natural agencies the definite and final resor
alton of durable health He is alder and abetor of
the recuperave powers He renders the system exact
physiological help makes it possible with certainty for
the body to readust its functions reassume it's balance
and become normal Normal animal health is, of
course physical happiness, or freedom from pain.
Freedom from pain is the natural condition of the
body and after 40 years experience with every form
Of disease of firm belief that with few rela-
lively unmportant changes in ones mode of fe the
employment of little circumspection and little
mon sense most OF the suffering in the world would be
avoided
Some people, especially those who nurse chronic af-
fectons that disease is the cOroary of health
light is of darkness hence logically unavoidable but
cannot subscribe to this dctum for experience has
taught us it is not true Nature loves harmony, and
disease is discord. The body itself proves this. No
working to save his business or mother watching
her failing babe could strive tide over the crisis
and recover with greater intensity than that which the
human organism puts forth when attacked by disease
Nature intended to produce normal organisms only,
hence disease can not be equal though anthetical,
condition. 1t is abnormality.
My business is aiding nature to dispose of this
welcome abnormalty. accomplish this by means of
physiological, scientific system of manual nanipua-

on increases combustion and facilitates the natural
elimination of diseased condition. In Short make it
possible for the body to purify itself by improving the
circulation This is the object and certain result of my
treatment
People take medicine to purify the blood The terms
used are oddly inappropriate Some talk of securing,
Eashingsit or cleansing it, ETC.. as though it were

pfrdsec4ogy seems sensible until recalls that in
state ct nature the blood supply is pure seventytwo
times, and likewise impure seventy two times minute,
that the process of cleansing it by of medica-
ments is small task. The bloodis an organic chem

absoTbs exactly ament is absorbed and that may,
or may not be of value to it. As we have yet much
to learn about this mysterious fluid, and purely
scientific and determnate medication would presup-
pose absolute knowledge of what goes in the blood,
it the absence of this exact knowledge, that
dosing iss still more or less empirical or experimental
This said in to disparage the noble art of
the physician but simply to call attention to fact that
every conscientious practitioner is quite ready, how
ever regretfully, to admit.
For his practice the Mechanic Therapst necessarily
goes to the physiological depths demanded of the

Perfect circulation means complete combustion and

still more significant, immunity from disease. You will

Every fraction Of second at innumerabe points, the
body is dying while simultaneously practically so
