SCIENCE OF BREATH. 37 



proper oxygenation in the lungs, and if it IB under-oxy- 

 genated it becomes poor in quality and laden with all aorta 

 of impurities, and the system suffers from lack of nourish- 

 ment, and often becomes actually poisoned by the waste 

 products remaining uneliminated in the blood. As the entire 

 body, every organ and every part, is dependent upon the 

 blood for nourishment, impure blood must have a serious 

 effect upon the entire system. The remedy is plain prac- 

 tice the Yogi Complete Breath. 



The stomach and other organs of nutrition suffer much 

 from improper breathing. Not only are they ill nourished 

 by reason of the lack of oxygen, but as the food must 

 absorb oxygen from the blood* and become oxygenated 

 before it can be digested and assimilated, it is readily seen 

 how digestion and assimilation is impaired by incorrect 

 breathing. And when assimilation is not normal, the sys- 

 tem receives less and less nourishment, the appetite fails, 

 bodily vigor decreases, and energy diminishes, and the man 

 withers and declines. All from the lack of proper breath- 

 ing. 



Even the nervous system suffers from improper 

 breathing, inasmuch as toe brain, the spinal cord, the 

 nerve centers, and the nerves themselves, when improperly 

 nourished by means of the blood, become poor and ineffi- 

 cient instruments for generating, storing and transmitting 

 the nerve currents. And improperly nourished they will 

 become if sufficient oxygen is not absorbed through the 

 lungs. There is another aspect of the case whereby the 

 nerve currents themselves, or rather the force from which 

 the nerve currents spring, becomes lessened from want 

 of proper breathing, but this belongs to another phase of 

 the subject which is treated of in other chapters of this 

 book, and our purpose here is to direct your attention to 

 the fact that the mechanism of the nervous system is 

 rendered inefficient as an instrument for conveying nerve 

 force, as the indirect result of a lack of proper breathing. 



The effect of the reproductive organs upon the general 

 health is too well known to be discussed at length^here, 

 but we may be permitted to say that with the reproductive 

 organs in a weakened condition the entire system feels the
