NEW YORK, June 20. That
Sarah Bernhard might have still
| been alive If her disease had been
treated according to natural laws
was the statement today Of DR.,
Julie Ste0ens, dietic adviser to the
great actress and internationally
known specialist on nutrition.
II left Madame Bernhard In
perfect health, only to hear two
months later that she was ILL., y
DR.. Stevens said II meant to re-
turn but could not conveniently do
SO. Had I known, however, that
my friend had six physicians at
her bedside, / would have gone If
/ had totswim across the Atlantic.
Sarah had wonderful vitality but
six physicians are too much for
anybody!
She died. Of uraemia, poisoning
resulting from breakdown of the
kidneys and caused by an. excess
Of high proteid food. All they could
think Of was to pump morphine and
camphor into her blood. THE natural
method would have been to cleanse
the body, withhold food altogether
and apply hot lamentations to re.
lieye the system. of all its natural
toxins. Had this been done, Sarah
might have been alive today.
Disease Not Mysterious.
81 am aware that among some
medical practitioners 1 shall not be
very popular mean among those
who lead their patients to think
that disease Is a mysterious thing
and that methods of treatment must
be complicated. Remember that if
you are i'll, it is never due to an
obscure cause. It is because you
have broken the laws of health,
probably for many years. So the
only way to get well is to find out
how you have been wronging your
body and to cease TO do it. Doctors
kill thousands every year by need
less operations and by treatments
that involve the use of dangerous
drugs
In addition to following strict
dietetic regime, DR.. Stevens teaches
that those who would keep their
cells active and stimulated should
indulge in a thorough scrubbing
every morning.
"A
enough" DR.. Stevens said. THE
bath should be featured by very Wig
orous rubbing. Then about ten
minutes must be given to bending
exercises. 1t may mean getting up
somewhat earlier, but when the re-
wards are so great, what do the
extra minutes matter?
Increases Vitality.
1.-The change iii a person whose
cells have become entirely alive is
almost unbelievable. Endurance in
creases so that one can work eight
cen or twenty hours day, the mem
ory becomes remarkably strength
ened, lines and shadows leave the
face, and the mind becomes vigorous
and scintillating. There is no
miracle about this, nor is 1t anything
limited to the rich. Anyone willing
to follow the laws of Nature can
achieve his highest possibilities.
"A woman whose cells are In per-
feet harmony with each other can go
through the usually trying expert
ence of maternity without any pain.
have demonstrated this before
eighty-three Of the leading doctors
of France.
Human life is the most precious
thing in the world. But to merely
exist. tired and without ambition,
and to find each day lost. instead of
being filled with joy and work well
done is not to the benefit of man,
woman or child, nor can it con
tribute to the advancement of the
nation.
Turn the searchliight of your
mind upon the value of diet and gain
your health in Natures way; that
Is the only method of staying en-
tirely alive and achieving 100 per
cent efficiency"
