" v**l^^^Wtt^;fcom PaS e 3<) other system of cure could show such a xeconU^ For those who wish for the highestsorm of good health, there are other points to be observed, such, as the choice of ioods, deep breathing, the regulation, of the thoughts aiid passions, and physical culture. During the last lew years quite a large literature on these subjects has grown up. I have read many of the books, and found them of very great service to me, and I strongly recommend ev- " ©ryone interested to study them. I am convinced that there is nothing in • the world so well worth studying. If I the knowledge contained in these 1 ' books could be assimilated and applied < by all the people of New Zealand, all ! forms of sickness and disease would very soon be abolished. However, reform spieads slowly, and I know it is no use hoping for that. • If 1 can induce only a limited number to join in the reform, I shall not have written in vain. Each one will soon become I a centre for spreading the " New Gospel of Health " I will mention a few cases of cures by long fasting. Mr Clark, whose diary has been published, was cured of a nervous breakdown by a fast of 25 days. A gentleman in Auckland waS cured of a similar trouble by a . fast of 42 days, alter two years of fruitless treatment by other systems. I know of a case of diabetes and Bright's disease cured by 52 days fasting. Another caße of heart trouble and obesity was cured by a 36 days fast. The various books on the subject record numerous cases of similar cures in fact Dr. Hazzard says that her long roll of fasts cover every form of disease known to medical pathology. This of course includes those dread diseases, cancer and consumption. I believe that deaths from cancer in New Zealand average two per day. They might all be saved if taken in time. Mr Haskell, the author of " Perfect Health^^SSd me some months ago of u. cure of cancer on the breast, which had already been operated on three times, by a fast of 38|- days. This system of Health Reform originated with Dr. Dewey, who wrote " The True Science of Living," and several ' other books. It has spread largely in America, and is not unknown in England, in fact it must be attracting attention there, as it has been cartooned in "Punch." Other writers have fol , lowed Dr. Dewey, notably Dr. Hazzard, before mentioned, Dr. Eales, Dr. Densmore, Dr. Sagar. There are also English writers, such as Dr. Rabaghati, Dr. Haig. Dr. Bell, and the late Dr. Keith, of Edinburgh, who by adhering to his own teachings reached the age. of 91. Among lay wiiters may be mentioned C. C. Haskell. J. Austin Shaw, Upton Sinclair. Wallace D. Wattle.*, Elizabeth Towne, Jacques Albert, R. McMillan ("Gossip"), H. Cardew (the last three all of Sydney), and Bprnari MadWklen. The lattor hap ■written many "hooks on he iltli reform and physical culture, find edits " Physical Culture" magnzine. Every month this periodical contains numerous letters JVom grateful people who h ve j gained health and strength by follow- . ~ ing the laws laid down. The teachings flnd ideas vary here and there, but all these writers are united in the one grand statement that Health is opon to All who seek it in the tproperwny. fternarr Maefadden says in '' Tup Building «»f Vital Power'" (which, T think, is the best book I ever read) addressing those who are out of health (and he prints it in large type) " There is a way cf changing your unhappy condition for the better, as surely as there is a sun in the heavens." And ■ again '• There are no failures for those ■who start in time and who move steadily onward in the quest for vital power." I have enumerated these writers largely to show that I am not (as I know is often said of roe), promulgating my own ufad" or-system. My roieistocn.il attention to the knowledge that is in the world, and available to all who will seek it. I appeal to all readers of tbis article to take up the study of this wonderful subject. If they would, our country would soon be a Paradise of good health. There are many other benefits ■which would follow—not the least of which is a sense of returning youth— all writers agree on this point. Mr Hastell is 70 years Young. Mr Sandford Bennett, 70 years Young, Mr Shaw, 55 years Young, Dr Tanner 81 years Young, and Oapt. Diamond 114 years Youxo, My own experience bears this out fully—l have lost all sense of age. Among ether benefits may be mentioned the solution of the Drink problem and the large diminution of lunacy. Dr. Dewey says that if temperonce advocates would take up the reform of the eating habifs of the people, the drnk problem would solve itself. "Those who follow " True Scientific Living" do not want alcohol. He also says that if the patients in lunatic asylums were treated rationally as a diet, a large proportion of them could soon be released. He. quotes the instance of Miss lluenzel who was taken out of an asylum for the purpose of a fast, and was entirely cured. I will conclude by quoting the final paragraph of Dr Eales' " Healthology" He says:—-"God speed the time when the New Way is known to all mankind. That itEALfHOLoay and Healthopathy may be read and practised universally, and all mankind be blessed with Perfect Health is the desire of the author." To which I say Amen. . LLOYD JONES.
