Secrets of Health
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch.

EVERYBODY is running away
~ from something. Scarcely
a person living is not afraid of
something.
Every individual is bothered
and upset and handicapped by
some thought. feeling or expe-
rience that he tries to forget.
To forget is to run away!
And when you run away you
are afraid!
It used to be considered
sound psychological advice to
tell a fearful person to distract
himself and forget.
But now we know that for
getting is impossible.
Forgetting means merely re.
pressing, pushing the idea from
the conscious mind into the un-
conscious.
Today we no longer say "for-
get" We say, Face your fear
and never run away no matter
what happens
To try to forget makes your
fears worse. It gives them an
added Importance which they
don't really deserve,
To find yourself running
away makes you even afraid
of yourself.
Try for a change to think
of the things you are running
away from in a different way.
Say to yourself, IF I am har-
boring this fear there must
be a reason. Certainly, my
mind would not be torturing
me for nothing"
And that's scientific fact!
Fears are merely signs or
symbols of something else.
Every fear has a cause be-
hind It'll
Look back and you may be
surprised to find that your
fear Of lightning dates back
70. childhood days, when. you
might say, you knew no better.

may be thrown on the problem
by the exciting story Of the dis

Uranus, the seventh major

by Sir William Herschel in 1881.

The calculations had been
based upon the assumption of
the influences or "perturbations"
of only known objects.
But suppose there were some
undiscovered planet in the neigh

upon it a powerful pull and caus-
ing it to deviate from the COM
