How to be Well, Keep
Well And Get We'll


Llano Colony was favored with a very
valuable talk on hygienic living from
Mrs. Charlotte Collins, of St. Louis
Mo-, who has been an interested visit
Or at the Colony for a fortnight Mrs.
Collins IS student and practitioner of
hygienic living, nature cure, anthropol-
ogy and kindred subjects, has the abil-
lty to present her knowledge in a very
sympathetic and acceptable manner,
and gave an object lesson in certain
physical exercises, performed BY Vic
tor Gaddis, that are highly recupera-
tive and restore harmonious circula-
ton Of all the forces and fluids of the
body very quickly.
Mrs. Collins has been student at
the Nature Cure Institute of H. Lind
Iahr, NJ. D., carried on at Chicago. In
his book on Mature Cure" Dr.. Lind
lair teaches that:
The cells in the body are negative.
or, at least, THEY SHOULD BE NEG
ALIVE TO THE POSITIVE MIND.
The relationship of the mind to the cell
should be like that of a hypnotist to
his subject. If the mind could not ex-
ert such absolute control over the cells
and cell groups, it would be impossi-
Bile for us to talk. walk, write, dodge
danger, ETC., with almost automatic
ease.
The cells are not able to reason up
on the truth or untyuth of the sugges-
ton conveyed to them from the mind
They accept its promptings unquali-
fiedly and act accordingly.
Thus if the mind constantly thinks
of, say, the stomach as being in bad
ly diseased condition, unable to do its
work properly, the mental image of
weakness and disease with their accom-
panying fear vibrations are telegraphed
over the different nerves to the cells of
the stomach and these become moe
and more weakened and diseased thru
the destructive vibrations sent to them
from the mind.
i often advise patients to procure
a book on anatomy and physiology and
to study and keep constantly before the
minds eye the NORMAL structure and
functions of HEALTHY stomach or
liver, or whatever organ may be in
volved in particular.
This explains why affirmations of
health ere justified in the face of dis
ease, The health conditions MUST Be
FIRST ESTABLISHED IN TIE
MIND before they can be conveyed to
and impressed upon the cells"
Not only the conception Of health
must be established in the mind, but
also the conditions must be understood
and willingly complied with. whica
alone can restore and maintain health
A NORMAL state of health, requires
sane living, sane eating. sane drinking,
sane dressing, sane housing, and ample
pure air. 1t does matter what one eats
and it does matter what one drinks,
and it does matter how one conducts
himself in general.
Life is a consuming fire, and this
fire is inresident in man; and the Naz-
arene told his friends 'You are the
temple of the LIVING GOD" in dis
tinction from the dead material idols
that were objects of devotion of peo-
pie in general who were ignorant of
the high calling and estate of man
kind.
Cells in the human body, it is seen,
will accept a lie as readily as they will
accept the truth, and when they accept
falsehood, they become accordingly
diseased. A babe is not able to dis
tinguish between wholesome milk and
poisonous fluid. But if babe should
suck such poison and die In conse-
quence would not person who whiting
ly had placed such poison to the lips
of baby be execrated as criminal of
deepest dye? And is it less GRIM
NAL to influence trusting, unsuspectAAg
and mentally backward people with as
liberate lies anil falsehoods in order t,
despoiI and deceive themp What diff
ference is there, please tell me, in the
criminality of such action,
Eating in excess of the actual re-
quirements of the body, said Mrs. Col
Inns, in one of the causes for human
sickness; less food and chiefly in its
uncooked condition. would greatly I'M
prove the health of everyone. People.
from northern state on their removal
to the South especially, must be more
circumspect in their selection Of diet.
The hard winter up North makes great
er demands upon the body and permits
a more concentrated diet, which if con-
