Discussing the Maori “miracle •man,” Mr. J. V. Garvitch writes t<j the Wanganui Herald:—lt has been proved that suggestion of any kind is very effective in many diseases, such as insomnia, indigestion, lumbago, sciatica, various nervous and functional disorders, muscular troubles, certain forms of insanity, various forms of paralysis which have their origin in hysteria, vicious habits, drink and drug habits, and many other troubles that man is heir to. But suggestion cannot cure an organic disease. Suggestion inhabits the pain, and, so to speak, temporarily lulls the symptoms of the disease, but does not cure the diseased organs. The faith-healer can pray to his favorite brand of God till he is blue and black in the face, but he will not cure consumption, cancer, or a hollow tooth. Here, then, is where the knowledge of precise diagnosis is required, so as to know whether the disease is organic or functional. The faith-healer has not the necessary knowledge to be able to’tell whether the case is amenable to suggestion or to the surgeon’s knife, while the trained practitioner not only has the means, of correctly diagnosing the trouble, but he also has, with the help of science, the ability to effect a lasting cure. Create an atmosphere of Nazol about you, so that y<m constantly inhale it—about 10 drops on the chest of the pyjama jacket at night or on the singlet in the morning protects you against infectious germs. It is undoubtedly good for Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats. et&
