1.-THE ORIGIN OF MEDICINE IS
FOUND IN HEATHENISM

The practice of medicine originated in
heatheniSm, in the worship of demons. 1t
can be readily traced back through its his
tory to the heather gods. Apollo was the
presiding deity of medicine Apollo was
also called Phoebus, another name for the
sun, thus showing that medicine is part
of sun-worship
H.-NOT ONE WORD BETWEEN THE
LIDS OF THE BIBLE IN FAVOR OF
DOCTORS, SURGEONS, AND DRUGS.
Ponder the meaning of the following
Greek words used in the New Testament:
CD Pharmakeia (a) The use or the
administering of drugs. (b) Poisoning. (c)
Sorcery Magical Arts. See Galatians 5 20:
Revelation 8:23.
(2) Pharmakeus (Pharmakon), One who
prepares or uses Magical remedies A Sor-
cerer. Revelation Fl g.
(3) Pharmakon, a drug; an enchantment.
Revelation 9:21.
(4) Pharmacies, Pertaining to Magical
Arts.
A Pharmacist is, therefore, a Sorcerer
according to Gods Word.

III-DOCTORS CONDEMNED OUT
OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.
Sir Ashley Cooper, physician to Queen
Victoria, has declared, "The science of
medicine is founded upon conjecture and
improved by murder" What shocking
statement from man so eminent as to have
the royal family in his professional care !!
$50 gross is our ignorance of the physi-
illogical character of disease that it would
be better to do nothing" PROF. Magendie,
France.
Sir James Johnson, formerly editor of
the Medical Chirurgical Review, London,
says, 81 declare, as my conscientious con-
viction, founded upon long observation and
experiment, that if there were not single
physician, surgeon, chemist, druggist or
drug on the face of the earth, there would
be less sickness and mortality than now
prevail
DR.. James Mason Good, the noted author,
says, "The science of medicine is barbar-
Gus jargon, and the effects of Our medi-
cines in the highest degree unsatisfactory,
except that they haze destroyed more Hves
than 7var, famine and bestilence combmed|
How does this sound to the people who
have a mania for swallowing medicines?
"The popular medical system has neither
philosophy nor common sense to recon-
ment it to confidence DIR. Evans, F. K.
c., London.
"Physicians have hurried thousands to
their graves who would have recovered if
left to nature."-Prof Clark, New York.
