HOW ABOUT NATURE?

Does Nature do its work to a finish? If so, we have a lasting foundation on which to stand. Then we must work to acquaint ourselves with the process by which it proceeds to do its work in the physical man. Not only to make a well-planned and well-builded superstructure, but to care for and guard against the approach and possession of foreign elements, that either cripple or hinder perfect action in all functions of the organs to form protective compounds that will ward off the formation of fungous growths of blood and flesh before the latter can get deadly possession of the laboratory of animal life. Such fungous growths as microbes, germs, bacteria, parasites, and so on to all abnormal formations, are reported to have been found in the bodies of the sick by many authors, as results of their investigations of the compounds in the blood, sputa, and stools of the sick. We will not dispute the fact that they have been and often are found in the blood, sputa, and faecal and other substances of the body. We will willingly admit that they are truths as reported as the results of discoveries made by many of the most learned and painstaking scientists of years of the past and of the years of our own day and generation. That the student may the better comprehend my object, I will admit and agree that such organisms as described are found in lung disease, disease of the stomach, bowels, liver, kidneys, or any organ of the system. I do not wish to disprove their existence, but wish to take such witnesses and try to prove that all such abnormal changes have a cause in suspension of arterial or venous blood, or lymph, the excretory systems, or by their nerve-supply being cut off at some important point of the physical work. A clean shop is just as necessary to good work as the skilled mechanic is to the construction of the part desired. A careful hunt for the broken link that has allowed the chain of life to fail to make the work complete throughout, and let life substances spoil in the blood or lymph before it has been used in the place or purpose for which it was designed, must be instituted. I want to impress upon you that all bad sputa, poor lymph, and defective blood are effects only, and a broken link is the cause, and bacteria are only the buzzards formed by the biogen that is in the dead blood itself.
