Practical Application of These Laws 359

 this way the force being infinitely finer than 

 can be done by the application of high-power cur- 

 rents from electrical machines. D'Arsonval's

 of old age ") gives an alternating current of one 

 thousand million vibrations per second. But the 

 mind gains nothing by this treatment beyond hav- 

 ing its house put in order for it. Without belit- 

 tling that, I must remind you that the mind still 

 remains the mischief-maker, which, uncontrolled,

 the good. Where the will-power is lacking to 

 gain the necessary mental control, by all means 

 try the electric-battery. That is the next best 

 thing, but remember that it is only man's clever 

 device to replace Divine methods, therefore in- 

 complete. 



This explanation amply refutes the charge that 

 an " unnatural method of breathing is taught by
