cial virtue of the mineral water as to the fact that 

 for several weeks the business of life is the drink- 

 ing of water in quantities limited only by the ability 

 to swallow it. If people formed the habit of 

 drinking pure water freely between meals and, es-

 in the morning, they would not need to " take the 

 cure." 



Water is the mystical symbol of the soul because 

 it is ever chemically pure. While it is the great 

 solvent, it is also the absolvent and purifier, for 

 whatever of foulness it takes up is held in suspen- 

 sion and can be eliminated by distillation. And 

 thus it is with the soul. Its " saving " is the 

 choice of freeing itself from the passions and er- 

 rors of the material, sense life. The pure, self- 

 controlled soul and the physical body wherein it 

 dwells which ever and always reflects the power 

 controlling it are alike freed from the Karma 

 and the impurity of unfavorable planetary vibra- 

 tions which sow discord and incite to evil. 



Never lose sight of the fact that the Sun is the 

 source of the Prdnic, or life-current, which contains 

 in itself all the Tattvas; but the variations in the 

 proportions of the Tattvas injected into the life- 

 current come from the planetary currents, in every 

 one of which the ruling Tattva of the planet pre- 

 dominates. It is interesting to know that the spec- 

 trum of Venus shows the presence of watery vapor.
