“What blunders are continually committed in the treatment of 
nerve diseases! No one considers the physiological law that 
no parts of the nerves can perform their functions lastingly 
and naturally unless they are continually supplied with blood 
filled with oxygen; and for this purpose iron is most neces¬ 
sary. 
“Physicians of the old school do prescribe iron plentifully, 
but in inorganic form; and because it is not organized it is in¬ 
digestible and is excreted. That is why the treatment of the dis¬ 
eases of the nerves, which are so general and widespread, has 
been so unsuccessful. 
“It is not known that organized ammonium phosphate (Leci¬ 
thin), which is the mineral foundation of the Neurogen I pre¬ 
scribe, will regenerate the nervecells if consumed in the proper 
proportions and not taken to excess. It is as little known also 
that if a person with diseased lungs is placed where he will re¬ 
ceive an ample quantity of pure air, that is, oxygen, and given 
four quarts of milk daily, he will nevertheless perish most 
wretchedly if his food does not contain iron, lime and sulphur in 
sufficient quantities. 
“These simple physiological laws have been forgotten, and we 
have been given instead the teachings of the school of bacteriology 
with its pitiful consequences, which have brought great sorrow 
to so many homes. 
“The statements of many patients who have visited the best 
physical culture and natural healing establishments, so-called, 
both in Europe and in this country, serve to show that their suc¬ 
cess has been one-sided; that is, they have dissuaded from the 
wrong albumen theory, and their state of health has consequently 
been improved. But practically they have failed; for com¬ 
plete and final recovery—that is, full and correct nutrition and 
strengthening of the nerves, has not been accomplished. It is 
that certain essential constituents have been missing! These 
vital constituents my organic nutritive cell-food therapy is de¬ 
signed to supply. 
“What is lacking in the field of practical science, as author¬ 
itatively accepted by the unprogressive faculty of today, is an ab¬ 
sence of chemical knowledge, especially on the part of the phy-
