GENERAL OBSERVATIONS AND SUMMARY. 13^ 



they have never been missed. An unhealthy tree does 

 not produce healthy fruit, neither does a constitutionally 

 unhealthy person produce healthy offspring. His vital 

 ity is destroyed by another microbe, which is out of 

 place and dangerous. But get rid of the disease germs, 

 and Nature will build up the system and produce vigor- 

 ous health and life-giving powers. When a person tells 

 me that he suffers from nervous irritability or depres- 

 sion, feels weak and wanting in energy, is unable to 

 bring himself to his work, and is generally incompetent, 

 I know that he must take microbe -killer, which will de- 

 stroy disease germs. This can only be done when the 

 body has been built up and the whole system is strength- 

 ened, so that the blood, purified and enriched, shall cir- 

 culate freely and impart vigor and tone to the sensations 

 as well as to the body. For with improved circulation 

 the whole nervous system is strengthened. Irritability 

 and extreme sensitiveness disappear. The nerves per- 

 form their legitimate functions and the individual is 

 brought up to a standard of normal health such as the 

 body is fitted for. Water that is not kept in motion 

 becomes foul and stagnant. Fungi grow in it, and fer- 

 mentation and putrefaction are encouraged. And so it 

 is with the blood. Directly it ceases to circulate freely 

 we have an indication that there is something wrong, 

 that it contains something that ought not to be there. 

 When it is well nourished and clear, so that it circulates 

 freely, no palpitation or nervousness or any pain will 

 worry us. Under that condition we cannot be sick or 

 ailing. The blood is the life. If we can keep it always 

 free from microbes and impurities, and in a condition 

 where it furnishes sustenance to the tissues as it should 

 do, we may prolong our lives till old age ends them. 

 Children and young people who are free from hereditary 

 trouble die as a consequence of the ignorance of the 

 medical faculty, who mistake or misunderstand the 

 cause of the disease, and consequently err in providing 

 a remedy. 



With the microbe-killer near at hand sickness is shorn
