"That which we call God, Nature, the Creator, or the Universal Intelligence is the great central cause of all things, and the vibratory activities produced by or proceeding from this central or primary cause continue through all spheres of life in like manner as the light-waves of the sun, moon, and fixed stars penetrate through the intervening spheres of life to our plane of earth. Therefore, all powers, forces, laws, and principles manifest on our plane proceed and continue from the innermost Divine to the most external plane in physical nature. This explains the continuity, stability, and correspondence, on all planes of being, of what we call "Natural Law." In other words,
"Natural Law is the established harmonic relationship of effects and phenomena to their causes, and of all particular causes to the one great primary cause of all things."

Here are two principal methods of treating disease. One is the combative, the other the pre-ventive. The trend of modern medical research and practice in our great colleges and endowed research institutes is almost along combative lines. At the same time, the individual, the progressive physician, learns to work more and more along preventive lines. The slogan of modern medical science is, "Kill the germ and cure the disease." The usual procedure is to wait until acute or chronic diseases have fully developed and then, if possible, to subdue them using surgical operations and the morbid products of the disease in the form of serums, antitoxins, etc. The combative method fights disease with disease and germs with germs and germ products. In the language of the Good Book, it is "Beelzebub against the Devil."

The preventive method begins when diseases have fully developed and gained ascendancy in the body but concentrates its best endeavors on preventing the development of diseases by hygienic living and natural methods of treatment. By these, it endeavors to put the human body in such a normal, healthy condition that it is practically proof against infection or contagion by disease. The question is, which method is the most practical, the most successful, and the most popular?

"The Strengthening of Will-Power and Self-Control If I were asked the question: "What do you consider the greatest benefit to be derived from the Nature regimen?" I should answer: "The strengthening of will-power and self-control."' This is the very purpose of life. Upon it depends on all further achievement. Self-control is the "master's key" to all higher development on the mental, moral, and spiritual planes of being, but before we can exercise it on the higher planes, we must have learned to apply it on the lower plane in the management and control of our physical appetites and habits. When we have learned to control these, "higher development" will come easy.

A suitable method for strengthening the willpower is auto-suggestion. The most opportune moments in the twenty-four hours of the day for practicing this " mental magic" are those before dropping to sleep. At this time, there is the slightest disturbance and interference from outside influences, the mind is most passive and susceptible to suggestion, and impressions made under these favorable conditions upon the "phonograph records" of the subconscious mind are the most lasting and the most powerful to control physical, mental, and moral activities.
When thoroughly relaxed, at rest, and at peace, say to yourself: "Whatever duties confront me tomorrow, I shall execute them promptly, without wavering or hesitation. I shall not give in to this bad habit."
