HOW TO LITE INDEFINITELY. 



NEW SCIENCE OF SECURING PERFECT HEALTH AND HAPPINESS, 

 SICKNESS AND SORROW NEEDLESS WOES. 



The Lord never intended that man should be sick any more than 

 He wished him to starve. But He did not give him food directly nor 

 perpetual health without effort. He did give him a fruitful earth and 

 ability to make that earth yield food in plenty, and He did give him 

 a mind wherewith to study and learn how to preserve his health in- 

 definitely. Only mankind has worked so much harder to make the 

 earth yield all sorts of material luxuries that he has neglected until 

 these latter days to study his own power of getting well and keeping 

 well. By mere accident some few have discovered this and that ac- 

 counts for the miracles at shrines and at special resorts. It accounts 

 too, for the real, though partial, success of the Christian Scientist, 

 the Mind Healer, the Dowieite and others. 



The truth as first fully promulgated by Harry Gaze of London, 

 but also known, practiced and taught by several others both in this 

 country and Europe, is that within each person lies dormant the 

 power to cast out disease of all kinds and obtain perpetual health 

 and full physical and mental strength and beauty. 



The wise man of old said: "As a man thinketh in his heart so is 

 he." If you permit no thought of disease and death to enter your 

 mind you will have accomplished nine-tenths of the battle to stave 

 off these foes. If you think you'll take cold you are ten times as apt 

 to take cold as you are if you -hfnk you will not take cold. The 

 other tenth lies in the simple safeguards of breathing plenty of fresh 

 air and eating only suitable foods. 



Each person needs at least 300 cubic feet of fresh air per hour to 

 breathe. The air he breathes in supplies oxygen to burn up the 

 refuse brought to the lungs. The air he breathes out contains the 

 dead matter or waste. The body is constantly changing. The old 

 idea was that the body is wholly renewed once in seven years, but 

 according to Prof. Flammarion and other modern scientists, in a little 

 less than one year the entire body, muscles, bones and all is renewed, 

 all the old body having been in the meantime gradually consumed 

 and discharged through the breath, the perspiration, the urine and 

 the faeces. Hence it is absolutely necessary to keep these avenues 

 of discharge acting fully and freely. Habits of breathing deeply and 

 regularly, as you do naturally during sleep, should be formed. A 

 good practice is to spend a few minutes every morning and evening 

 in deep breathing, saying to yourself as you breathe in, "I'm taking 

 in life," and when expelling the breath, "I'm breathing out death." 

 For that is actually what you do. Tight clothing must of course be 

 absolutely discarded. 



Sufficient pure air taken into the lungs is an absolute specific 

 against colds and pneumonia and is the greatest single factor in
