CHAPTER VI 



THE UNIVERSALITY OF THE TATTVAS 



IT should be plain to all my readers now that to 

 neglect proper exercise of the lungs by deep, 

 full inhalations of pure, unbreathed air, is a

 justly named " slow suicide." The individual 

 thus living, even under the most fortunate circum-

 his or her efficiency and power, and invites every 

 disease. You thus feed the disintegrating forces 

 with the corruption which increases their activity; 

 and shut out the renewing elements which upbuild, 

 while furnishing the stimulus to cast out the worn 

 out products of physical energy. And this man- 

 ner of living, which is the confirmed habit of multi- 

 tudes, is the progenitor of most of the ills from 

 which humanity suffers. 



The day is dawning when that infamous old 

 aphorism anent the " ills that human flesh is heir
