 defined, and that the disturbances of the physical functions of the human edifice should have been traced to their single source.

The doctrine of Unity in the Cause and Cure of Disease, as set forth in the text of this work, has been carefully and earnestly investigated through a period of over sixteen years. Thousands of cases have been handled, and each instance has confirmed the conviction that the principle involved is absolutely sound. It has stood all tests. Where death has occurred, the autopsy showed organic defects, inherent, or acquired through years of continued functional abuse. These defects alone made death inevitable, whether the patient be fasting or feeding.

So far as can be accomplished in a work of this size, the fasting method of cure and the results of its application in the regeneration of the body and the mind are fully discussed. All that is asked of the reader is that prejudice be laid aside, and that the subject be approached without bias, keeping before the eye of the mind the words of the Apostle: — "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
