every whit whole, man must be better spiritually as well
as physically. To be immortal, we must forsake the
mortal sense of things, turn from the lie of false

same regimen which spiritualizes the thought; and if
health is not made manifest under this regimen, this

symptoms, which might be produced by a certain drug,
are removed by using the same drug which
might cause the symptoms. This confirms
my theory that faith in the drug is the sole factor in the
cure. The effect, which mortal mind produces through

uses the same medicine in both cases.
The moral and spiritual facts of health, whispered
into thought, produce very direct and marked effects on
the body. A physical diagnosis of disease - since mortal
mind must be the cause of disease - tends to induce
disease.
