HEALTH, DISEASE, AND DEATH 21 



And thus death is the complete annulment of life, with 

 what is implied of health and disease and the absolute 

 dissolution or separation of the bonds uniting the material 

 and dynamic entities comprising the living organism. 



Health and disease are alike qualifying conditions of 

 life, and are more or less familiar in the experience of 

 every living organism, colouring and affecting its life's 

 progress from inception to close, and terminating only 

 with its death, or dissolution. Both are the outcome of 

 the degree of perfection characterising the working of 

 the various parts of the organism, and the ease or freedom 

 from friction enjoyed in its entire life experience, material, 

 and dynamic, the one or the other predominating accord- 

 ing as its organic work accords with the requirements of 

 the organic laws possessed by the particular organism.
