"What then causes and keeps up the circulation of the blood f 

 We have already said the body, in its vital parts, is like & 

 decomposing magnetic battery. In such a battery, the force 

 produced by the dissolving of the minerals, is sent from the 

 battery to the poles or extreme ends of the metal in con- 

 nection. So is it wilh the body. While the food is being 

 dissolved in the stomach, a force is generated which is continu- 

 ally urging the material, as soon as it is in a fit condition, from 

 the stomach to the extremities. For the body is as touch a 

 magnet in its nature as a loadstone, although the magnetism. 

 is exhibited in a different way. This, therefore, is the primal 

 force which keeps up the circulation of the blood. Life then ii 

 the atomagnetic action of the body. 



In order now to discover the cause of fever and disease in tke 

 system, let us examine again the function of the blood, and the 

 action of the body in throwing off its waste material, and of 

 rebuilding the same. The W^aste is thrown off in two ways j 

 firstly, by the exhalations from the body externally all over 

 its surface ; and secondly, by passing along with the blood 

 to the intestines, and being ejected from the body with the 

 insoluble parts of the food eaten. It will be seen, therefore, 

 that should there be a checking of the circulation in any way, 

 as by cold or chills, or by the food not being digested as well, 

 or as readily, as it ought to be, or by the waste material clog- 

 ging up the veihs, or by uncleanliness checking and filling up 

 the pores of the skin, some disease or ailment is sure to ensue. 

 In a stoppage of this sort, the atoms of the body interfere with, 

 or obstruct, the general arrangement of its working, and a new 

 local action takes place in the part so clogged, causing inflam- 

 mation, fever, palpitation, rheumatism, cholera, bodily pain, of
