154 DETAILED SYNTHESIS. 



21. THE CHARACTERISTICS OP ANY COMPOUND WILL 



DEPEND therefore upon the Elements of which it is com- 

 posed, as modified by the influences exerted upon it. 



22. IN BRIEF, THEREFORE, IT MAY BE SAID that every 



compound is compounded of Elements and Influences. 



23. THE HUMAN BODY CONSEQUENTLY MUST BE 

 CONSTITUTED of Elements and Influences; and 



24. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH PART OF THE 

 BODY MUST BE DEPENDENT on the Elements of which 

 it is constituted and the Influences exerted upon them. 



25. Inf. THE ISSUES OP LIFE AND DEATH, of health and sickness, 

 must depend upon a correct understanding of the Elements and their 

 modifying influences. 



26. THE NUMBER AND KIND OF ELEMENTS CONSTI- 

 TUTING THE BODY can only be ascertained by chemical 

 analysis. 



27. THE NUMBER AND KIND OF INFLUENCES ESSEN- 

 TIAL FOR CONSTITUTING THE BODY can only be deter- 

 mined by carefully noticing the circumstances in which 

 the compounding of the Elements takes place, and noting 

 the modifying influences at work. 



28. THE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BODY DETER- 

 MINES the fact that there are uniformly thirteen of the 

 same elements present in it; usually three more are 

 found, but they are not essential, and are in quantities 

 so minute as not to be worth mentioning in this work. 



29. Two THINGS ARE EVIDENT: 1st, The thirteen 

 Elements, properly influenced, possess all the endow- 

 ments necessary to constitute the Body; and, 2d, It 

 can possess only those characteristics that the endow- 

 ments of the thirteen Elements, properly influenced, can 

 confer: its sphere is therefore limited within certain 

 bounds. 



30. IT MUST, HOWEVER, BE CONSIDERED that the 



same Elements uniting chemically in different propor-
