Fruitarian Diet and o Physical Rejuvenation.

a d v o c a t e th e simple and single natural food of original m an even for m odern man, in spite of all the long centuries of mixed and cooked dietary of m ankind. I feel

strongly—very strongly—on this subject. And why? F ir s t ly : because th e natural uncooked food has saved my life, has rejuvenated m y body and made out of an over-fed, old man, courting apoplexy and rushing blindly into a prem ature grave, a com para­tively young, vigorous and healthy person, fit and willing to live another half century. And secondly: because it has through my m edium ship saved m any a valuable life th reatened by disease, which would have succum bed under the unnatural m odern diet and orthodox treatm ent.

Up to my fiftieth year I lived on the common mixed diet. I had m eat, bread, vegetables, a little fruit, etc., all cooked; I drank tea and coffee, beer and whisky, and smoked cigars. I grew stout and heavy, and, although I did m y work

as a physician and surgeon w ith the usual am ount of success, I began to feel th a t I would not be able to stand the strain of an active life much longer, as the resistive powers of my tissues were getting weaker, and more infirmities presented themselves from year to year.

Palpitations of the heart, sleeplessness, headaches, rheum atic and digestive troubles and other disorders made their appearance and became more and more confirmed. Still I managed to square all these w arn­ings, until the unduly high blood pressure, caused through constant stimulation, brought on epistaxis ; and m y nose bled once for eight hours and in the following year for fourteen hours. An exam ination of my arteries proved them to be in a progressed state of hardness and brittleness—arterio-sclerosis, as it is called. W e are as old as our arteries. As soon as I found out the dangerous condition of my vascular system, I knew th a t my days were numbered, and th a t m other earth would soon cover th is ruined body of mine unless a m iracle hap­pened.

T h e miracle has happened! My arteries have carried me safely, so far, through ten more active and strenuous years, and they are in a much better condition to-day than they were tw enty years ago. All the symptoms enum erated above have d is­appeared, the power and endurance of my body and m ind have increased to a wonderful extent, and I feel m ore vigorous, more active and more

certain of my life than I did when a young man. More still, I know now that I have my life and m y health in my keeping, and that if I live right I shall prolong m y life to its natural limit.

T he uncertainty o f life and health P*®* is usually considered a proved fact,to Health?” we m'ght well fall in with this

public error when we see young and old, weak and strong, healthy and sickly people die, with apparently no regard to their station or condition. Still, in the face of that experience, I declare that, accidents excepted, there is nothing more certain and

> more reliable than a life properly lived. W e do' not die, we kill ourselves; and m ostly with our

i teeth.There is nothing better proved than the equal

<2 health and the equal longevity of free, wild animals,o The birds and insects in the air, the fishes in the

water, the animals in the forests and on the prairies, a. they all have their certain term of life, and they all

live up to it, if accidents and injuries are excluded. Furtherm ore, they are healthy and perfect specimens of their kind.

W here are the perfect specimens of mankind ? And how many of modern men manage to live even approxim ately to our natural term, viz., from 100 to 120 years ? W hat about the state of health of man and his sub-human helpers— the domestic animals ? Is their flesh really weak and heir to innumerable diseases, while that of the wild animals is strong

3

and im m une? N o; the difference is not in the original flesh, but in the method of repairing and replacing their flesh ; it is in the food-material, for we are what we eat.

No free-living animal ever tampers with its food. One single food is enough for it from year to year and through all the ranging seasons. I f it cannot get this food on the spot, it will either go where it can get it, led to it by an unerring instinct, like the m igratory birds, or it will die, like the silkworm, which will not eat anything else if it cannot get the leaf of the white mul­berry. Free-living animals will not ‘ improve ’ their food, nor will they eat any unnatural or artificial m ixture; they keep their flesh pure and healthy; they do not know disease; they know only life — full, buoyant life in constant health— and death.

Man, especially civilized man, is not satisfied with the single food offered to him by the hands of Nature. In fact, in many instances he has quite forgotten what his natural food is, and looks with fear and suspicion upon the luscious fruits, the strength-giving nuts, and the ideal body builders, the grains in their natural state. He has for cen­turies prepared and improved his food. H e has cooked and stewed, baked and roasted, changed and mixed the most heterogeneous substances in such a multiplicity of ways, that his whole food has become an unintelligible, and, for his body, mostly useless and poisonous mess of devitalised and disorganised food materials, which he is pleased

4

to call “ mixed diet.” T h is dead and artificial food is not only unable to keep the body alive and in repair, but is filling it with waste matter, and forms the pre-eminent cause of disease and premature death.

In spite of all the boasted modern chemical remedies, changing with kaleidoscopic rapidity from day to d a y ; in spite of vaccination and in jections; in spite of serotherapy and organotherapy; in spite of all the modern artificial, electrical and magnetic appliances, the general death rate of Typhoid and of the epidemic diseases is as high to-day as it was centuries ago. T h e deaths from Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Pneumonia and Cancer are increasing in number every year, and only in the m ortality from pulmonary Tuberculosis, when treated by natural means in its first stage, appears a slight reduction.

Sanitation and Hygiene have reduced the number and the extent of epidemics. B u t if you are once attacked by any disease, your chances of recovery, under the usual modern medical treatment, are to-day hardly better than they were during the darkest ages o f medical quackery, of human super­stition and credulity.

These and similar observations had so much disheartened me that, after a not unsuccessful medical career of fifteen years, I had decided to give up the medical profession as soon as the income from my land here would supply m y wants.

^

5

During the last six years, however, aM y change has taken place in my relationPersonal . r * t iExperience, to my profession. I am no longer

willing to give it up. On the contrary,I am to-day filled with an enthusiasm for the noble Art of Healing, even greater than I felt when, as a young doctor, I was just let loose upon unsus­pecting humanity a generation ago. But my present enthusiasm is not founded on the blind belief in ‘ au th ority ’ and the daily-repeated ex­perimenting with newly-invented remedies. It has its roots in my own experience and studies and in my changed views with regard to the nature of Disease.

Y e s ; my own body, m y whole family, and the families of my friends and patients have proved it and are proving it daily, that our health depends upon our food, and that we have it in our own power to keep healthy or to get sick.

Before I started on the natural food I suffered from numerous colds every year, and for years I had a severe attack of influenza every Christmas. W ife and children were equally troubled; colds, sore throats, diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, even typhoid, they all appeared in our family in their turn, and at pretty regular intervals.

Since fruit has been our mainstay, and meat has disappeared from our table, since water and fruit juices became our drinks, since tea and coffee were reduced to a minimum, no disease whatever has made its appearance in our home, and we have lost

6

all fear of disease or infection, while in quite an automatic w ay I have lost all inclination and taste for beer, whisky and tobacco.

T h e -tw o children born since our conversion, a girl how five years old, and a boy three years old, have never had a day’s sickness in bed, and have developed in a way far superior to m y older children, and promise to grow into as perfect specimens of hum anity as the imperfect condition of their ancestors will permit.

And the results with my patients? W ell, they are sim ply phenom enal! Out of 166 cases of typhoid (at the M ildura D istrict Hospital), treated with fruit and fruit juices, without any drugs or unnatural alimentation, only two died, the one coming too late (in the third week) under the regime, the other succumbing to a heat-wave, when four, apparently healthy people, died in the streets around in one week with heat-apoplexy. Of nine cases of appendicitis, without operation or drugs, not one d ie d ; inflammation of the lungs passed into convalescence in from four to ten days without even a crisis. Acute affections of the bronchial tubes, the bowels, the nerves, rheumatic and other feverish attacks have been deprived of their pains and anxiety, and cured in the shortest time through fruit juices and fruit fasts.

Besides this saving of life, the greatest recom­mendation for the new treatment is undoubtedly the almost complete absence of complications in any of the diseases, and the all but certain relief

7

from distressing symptoms in a comparatively short time.

T h e typhoid patients, for instance, were hardly ever delirious, neither did they show any threatening symptoms from the bowels, excepting a few slight and short hemorrhages; no vomiting, distension or diarrhoea, no complication from the lungs or the heart or any other organ.

The nine cases of Pneumonia all ran a very unexciting course; the crisis was a mere falling off of the temperature with very little sweating (often none at a ll) ; no symptom of collapse or delirium.

The surprisingly favourable influence of our treatment upon the course of disease could not fail to impress itself upon our nursing staff. All the experienced nurses occupying the place of Matron were, in consequence of their previous training in other hospitals, at first conscientiously prejudiced against the treatm ent; but without exception they all were very soon convinced of its exceedingly favourable results and then became its most persistent advocates. The younger nurses, whom I was training myself, never doubted my teaching.

The ultimate result with our nurses since 1903, was that most of them became fruitarians them­selves, and, as a m atter of fact, got stronger and healthier than they ever were before.

8

In surgical cases the fruit-fast has Practical provided a wonderful factor in purify-Results in tjie ancj strengthening the

Cases. healing powers of Nature, so thatwithout any antiseptic wound-poisons,

using only cleanliness and sterilised water during operations, our wounds and injuries now heal better and quicker under a common wet compress than they ever did before under carbolic acid, sublimat or iodoform.

If, after a time of feeding, the wounds do not look as well as they should, a short fast with a restricted quantity o f fresh fruit very soon puts fresh life into the healing process, and renders the wounds clean and healthy looking.

T h e small number of these cases at the H ospital 12 does not warrant any further remarks. I have, m however, before me a letter dated Ju n e 3, 1908, 0. kindly sent me by Dr. Josiah Oldfield, the well-

known London surgeon and superintendent of the fruitarian “ Lad y M argaret H ospital” at Brom ley, England, which proves the immense benefit of a regime sim ilar to our own in surgical cases and which I shall here quote in full. D r. Oldfield s a y s :

less amount of inflammation, and more rapid healing, and more complete restoration to the original vitality than one gets on a meat diet.”

“ I should have no objection to your quoting this statement of mine before your Medical Congress, as I make it with the experience of having done over two thousand operations on patients treated on the fruitarian dietary, and I have come to the conclusion that to obtain the best results it is well to put the patient on a fruitarian dietary a month before operation. In abdominal cases and rectal cases and in internal cases the benefit of having a clean aseptic condition of the bowels is of the greatest importance. I have lost only one case after operation during the last ten years.”

At “ Coronet H ill,” m y Sun-Sanitorium near Melbourne, cases of Neurasthenia, Paralysis, Bright’s Disease, Drug and Alcohol Poisoning, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Diabetes, Skin Diseases, Arterio-Sclerosis, and many other afflictions which gradually became worse under the usual treatment, and were eventually declared incurable by the orthodox profession, have been not only improved but healed, absolutely cured, when enough time was allowed for Nature’s slow but safe healing processes.

This treatment is based on the follow- General ing observations :—Principles. Disease is practically restricted to

Man and his domestic animals. Free animals are nearly alw ays healthy, like the birds in the air and the fish in the water. The difference in living between Man and the free anim als will give us the cause o f Disease.

Free animals live on natural food and natural

10

drink. Man seldom likes natural food and drink; he prepares his food and drink.

Preparation of food means, practically, the application of heat to it, or, in other words, cooking in all its different branches.

Natural food does not want cooking, but is chem i­cally changed— often killed— by boiling temperature, whilst a great number of unnatural foodstuffs are made eatable and digestible by heat. Cooked food is dead food.

A diet full of dead material forces the body to great exertion in order to extract the few living particles, or to revivify those that can essentially yet be used, and thereby weakens the constitution; while, on the other hand, it must fill the body with useless material, often decomposed and poisonous, which we call “ waste matter.”

W aste matter, the product of cooked food, is the cause of most bodily encumbrances and impeded bodily functions. Nature m ay for a time accom ­modate this waste matter, but then it has to work under difficulties, which are the symptoms of so-called chronic disease.

As soon as the bodily functions cannot go on any longer under the daily-increasing burden of waste matter, the process of life would come to a standstill, and death would follow, if Nature did not start a pro­cess of removing the waste matter. T h is process of “ burning off rubbish” in order to enable the body to go on with the work of life is called Disease.

•"♦iI I

R j A treatment founded on these views Change Jn must naturally be very different from Treatment, that at present taught at the U ni­

versities, where disease is considered as an enemy of human life and as

brought on by accidental causes such as changes of temperature, miasmatic influences, microbes, etc.

The present-school Treatm ent tries to cure the different diseases by suppressing the different symptoms, and is therefore always looking for specific remedies which have to vary with each disease. The effects of its therapeutic actions are not only un­certain but often directly mischievous, imposing upon Nature the task to get rid of the poisonous drugs called ‘ medicines,’ in addition to the bodily impurities.

The new treatment, on the contrary, does not interfere with the different symptoms, which are considered as so much smoke produced from the internal fire, but endeavours to assist Nature by keeping away everything that might interfere with the great internal cleansing process, and by removing all hindrances to the free working o f the eliminating organs.

The first purpose is gained by stopping, for the time, any fresh food su p p ly ; the second, by giving unlimited quantities of fresh water, and by sweating or other hydrotherapeutic measures.

Yes, I advocate Fru it Diet not only because Man is a fruit-eater anatomically and physiologi-

cally, but because m y experience as a patient and a physician has proved to me the beneficial influence of the natural food on healthy, as well as on sick, people. The first will preserve their health and strength, their corporeal, mental and spiritual powers, to the highest old age, under a fruit diet. T o the latter, the sick people, I like to say as a last injunction, “ Do not give up hope, whatever be the matter with you. Nature can heal where human

^ wisdom and interference fails; return to N ature; fj live on M an’s natural food; build your body of the : > normal, life and strength-giving material, and you ^ will find that the time of miracles has not passed yet.”^ '♦> '*) --*1'it M an’s body is a commonwealth ofSi Food and innumerable living cells, each onej-j V itality . filled with organic electricity (so-called

vitality), and forming in their totality g a marvellously adjusted power-plant or storehouse

of organic power, i.e., of life.L ife is constant motion and constant change,

brought about through the outward manifestations of this organic electricity by means of the different tissues and organs forming our body.

A constant stream of organic electricity and organised building material must pass through our body in order to repair the constant loss of energy and of cell substance accom panying the phenomena of life.

Our food is this life-giving stream. Our food, therefore, must not only contain all the different

■3

elements composing the substance of our cells, but must contain them in organised combinations of high potential electricity, so that we m ay eat both matter and energy.

A ll the energy on Earth is derived from the sun. Sun-power is being constantly stored up in the plants, which, under its influence, forms out of the simple elements needed in our body, food materials containing the highest latent energy.

Ripe, uncooked fruit is the most attractive and delicious, and nuts are the most compact and nutritious representation of condensed sun­light—the highest accumulation of vital energy.

The energetic tension— the life— in the food materials is destroyed by the temperature of boiling w a te r: a cooked seed cannot germinate.

Food thoroughly cooked is food thoroughly k illed ; food partly cooked, as in our kitchens and bakehouses, is food partly dead and partly living. '

Nobody can live on dead food, whether mixed in the chemist’s shop or in the kitchen, or on food deprived of its vitality through cooking.

Many people die nowadays simply from want of vitality through trying to live on cooked food only.

Modern Man lives really on the m oiety of his food not killed by heat; the cooked part is so much dross and waste m atter, causing disease and premature death.

The natural food of Man is formed by those

*4

articles we can eat, enjoy and assim ilate in their natural raw state.

L ivin g organised Man wants living organised food, which he cannot get from dead anim als or cooked vegetables; and his health is in direct proportion to that part of his food which he eats in its natural state.

Civilised M an’s present diet consists largely of natural food disorganised by cooking, or of unnatural food disorganised but rendered eatable and digestible by cooking, and containing matter dangerous or directly poisonous.

The consequences of this wrong diet are a general decline of civilised people in the develop­ment of body, their health, strength, duration of life, character and social habits.

T h e greatest enemy of life, and therefore of organic electricity, is fire, or a temperature able to sterilize albumen. The*lemperature of boiling water destroys life in plant or animal tissue, and therefore the process of cooking must of necessity deprive our food of its vitalizing q u alitie s; cooking means devitalization of the food material.

W e know that to the living albumen-molecules are attached in an organised combination most of the so-called food-salts. Cooking not only changes the albumen by coagulating it, but it also detaches from the albumen-molecule the food-salts; it tears these out of their organic combination and reduces them to lifeless inorganic matter.

W e see then that from the chemical as well as

•5

from the biophorical (life-carrying) standpoint, cooking interferes most disastrously with the value o f our food. It practically destroys the food in its functions as life-giver and as building material.

Cooked food, therefore, is useless to our bodies as far as the building material is concerned.

In order to reclaim humanity, our food, as offered by the hand of Nature, will have to be used in its natural living condition, and the valuation of food should be taken, not according to its caloric or chemical standard, but by its biological, or better, its biophoric, i.e., life-giving qualities.

R aw fruit diet supplies every want Advantages 0f the human economy, and it is not

Fraitarian on^ as nour*sh*ng anc ̂ sustaining as Diet. the most expensive mixed diet, but it

produces more energy and endurance, and is more easily assimilated, and is absolutely free from any dangerous matter.

R aw fruit counteracts the deleterious influences of the usual mixed diet, as it prevents constipation, helps the excretion of uric acid and other acid poisons by rendering the blood more alkaline, and supplies those important food salts which in a cooked diet are rendered almost valueless.

R aw fruit is not only food but medicine- for all people using cooked food, and these should therefore eat as much raw fruit— fresh or sun-dried— as possible, or have at least one meal a day consisting of fruit only.

16

It is advisable for every mixed eater in order to purify his body, to undergo a fruit cure of four to six weeks’ duration every year, at a place where, and at a time when, the fruit is at its very best. Such cures would do more good than the usual annual visit to the seaside.

I f parents are not able to give up the usual abnormal dietary, they should at least allow the natural instinct of their children for fruit full play, and, if possible, bring them up on the natural diet. These will thereby escape m any diseases, and grow up, not only healthy and strong, but gentle and lov­able, and free from unnatural propensities and vices.

Humanity cannot hope to escape the attacks of the ever-present microbes by cooking those few contained in the food and water. T h e only reliable safeguard against infectious diseases is the natural resistance of a body free from poisonous waste matter (which acts as food for disease germs).

Fru it is the only food which neither introduces dangerous material into the body nor produces such while passing through it.

F ru it diet will once more enable mothers to suckle their young by producing an abundance of milk rich in all necessary constituents, but free from .any dangerous matter.

Sun-dried .fruit is as good as fresh fruit, as its whole vitality is preserved; it should, however, not be cooked, but only soaked for about eighteen hours in sufficient water to make it swell, and should then be eaten raw.

■7

Fru it does not only satisfy hunger but also thirst, and does not create any craving for tobacco or other stimulants.

Fru it is not a luxury, but an absolute necessity in the diet of Man. It is the duty of every thinking man who does not live merely to eat, to live as much as possible on m an’s natural food.

From a scientist’s point of view, man Man’s js nothing but the highest-developedFood 3 animal, and, anatom ically speaking,

he belongs to the fruit-eaters.T h e shape and arrangement of his jaw s and his

teeth, the want of any natural organ for offence or attack, such as tusks or claws, prove that he is not naturally an aggressive animal, or a destroyer of life. The relative length and internal arrangement of his digestive canal, the shape of his skull, his hands and his feet, and his upright habits prove that his nearest surviving relatives amongst the highest animals are the man-like apes—viz., the active chimpanzee, the powerful orang-outang, and the awe-inspiring gorilla. These animals live on fruit and nuts, and develop on this food such a power, that, for instance, an orang, unaided, has wrenched a young tree out of the hands of six British sailors, and that the gorilla w ill take up the fight with a lion, and hug this king of the beasts to death in his powerful embrace.

Open the mouth of a meat-eater, like the cat or the dog, and you will find there is not one single

18

tooth like ours, and the whole set is differently arranged from that of Man. Further, we know that carnivorous animals do not sweat (as their sweat glands are atrophied), because a sudden cooling down through heavy perspiration of the body of a meat-eater, whose blood has to carry great quantities of uric acid and similar poisons found in meat, would endanger the very life of the an im al; that they produce only very little saliva, as their salivary glands are sim ilarly reduced, since their food does

3? not need much preparation with saliva. Our teeth o are wonderfully adapted for grinding grains and ” nuts.^ The natural food o f Man is that food which he ^ can eat in its natural state without any interference li whatever— eat with pleasure, and to the satisfaction 3 not only of his palate and stomach, but to the satis- '2 faction of his whole body. And if we go through

the whole world, we w ill find nothing answering to -- these desiderata but the soft, luscious, thirst-and-

hunger-quenching fruits and the solid, heat-and- strength-giving and body-building nuts and grains.

Man, like all the other living creatures, is the product of circumstances and environment. H e could develop as a fruit, grain and nut eater only on fruit, grain and nut food, and on nothing e lse ; therefore, he must have originated in a region of the Earth , where this particular food was produced in abundance. M an’s cradle, as science tells us, stood in the region of the palms. Here we find to the present day the most wonderful assortment

19

of eatable fruits and nuts, and the most happy and perfect specimens o f humanity. But even in the temperate zones— in fact, in every clime suitable and advantageous to man— we find trees producing suitable fruits and plants producing edible seeds. Forests of nut trees must have covered, for thou­sands of years, great parts of the surface of the earth, for their timber and their fruit have been found in the lowest strata of the inhabited earth.

Man, then, was well provided for, and must have existed for many years on this, his natural food, to develop into the most perfect specimen of a fruit- eater on Earth . How long this easy and natural life lasted we can but imperfectly guess.

The great change of the whole life of Man and of all conditions and aspirations of his nature came with the discovery of fire. F ire is undoubtedly the greatest factor in human progress; without it the advances and blessings of civilisation are absolutely impossible. I f Man had been satisfied to use the fire for productive and scientific purposes only, he would have become master of the earth without degrading himself to the slave of his most brutal passions and desires.

Soon after Man had found the influence o f fire in warming his body or his hut, he must have been captivated by the alluring flavours and the inviting appear-ance of some, perhaps accidentally, roasted animal, and he tried to eat i t ! T h e taste of cooked food, once acquired, has proved the curse and the bane o f mankind ever since. W ith the help of fire,

Man has been enabled to render edible, things altogether foreign to his digestive apparatus. F ire assisted him to try as food the most extraordinary articles from the animal as well as from the plant world, with the result that his desires for artificial combinations grew apace, and ultim ately he almost forgot his natural food — the food he could eat for pleasure and profit without fire, without the help of the cook and the kitchen— the fruits, grains, and nuts.

Man found that on the artificially-prepared food he grew fat and heavy, and thought he was getting strong. H is desires and passions were roused through the stimulating qualities of the unnatural food, and he took that for an expression of in­creased vitality and vigour. H is thirst increased inordinately by the artificially-seasoned and salted d ie ts : he invented fermented and distilled drinks, and mistook their baneful influence in driving the functions of the body into mad fury for a sign of increased strength and power to enjoy life. As the years went on, Man became more and more short-lived, more and more subject to disease and ailments.

T he plant-eaters form still at the Scientific* Present time, as they have alw ays Facts. done, the great m ajority o f animals

on earth.The highest developed plant-eaters are the fruit-

eaters; the highest fruit-eater is Man.

21

Man evolved on a food consisting of fruits,especially palm fruits, grains, and nuts. H is teethand digestive organs are most perfectly adapted for this diet, even more so than those o f his immediate forerunners— the man-like apes. More than three-fourths of humanity at the present day live on plant products.

There are no meat-eaters in the direct line of Man’s ancestry. M an’s organism is not adapted to a diet of unprepared meat.

As long as Man ate the food on which the human race originally evolved, and to which his body is adapted, he was as healthy as all the normally-living an im als; he did not know sickness, and his life extended to its normal term of 150 years and more.

Man did not take to meat in the natural wayof evolution : his body is still that of a perfect fru it-eater in every respect. Man was forced to this unnatural food by terrestrial catastrophes, as the disappearance of his first habitat under the sea and the glacial period, which for a time deprived him of his natural food. The race of Man would have died out in those times, if he had not, at the proper moment, discovered the flesh foods and the use of fire to render unnatural food palatable and digestible for himself.

An animal organism— and Man is but the highest developed animal— may be compared to an engine in motion. As a working unit this engine claims

22

first the driver’s brain power as its energy-directing agen t; it is built of metal and fed with coal or other fuel. The animal body directs its own operations through its own v ita lity ; it is built of albumen with its organised food s a lts ; it works on fuel food, such as sugar, starch and fat. During life a constant loss and waste is going on in our body, not only o f the fuel food, but of the building m aterial, and especially o f vitality and energy. All this has to be replaced and renewed through the food.

A complete food, therefore, must contain vitality, or energetic tension, body-building substance and fuel material.

All anim als eating their natural, living food receive abundance of these necessaries, and are always healthy and well fed.

All life on E arth is transmuted sun-power. T he plants are the storehouses and accumulators of sun-energy, and their products contain, in their natural state, the highest energetic tension; coal, the oldest plant product, is the great power-producer on Earth .

Fru its and seeds, the noblest and highest products o f plant life, form the most luscious and the most compact representation of condensed sunlight, the highest accumulation o f vital energy. T h ey are perfect foods for Man.

T he fruit-eaters next below man in the anim al scale are represented by the man-like apes, the

23

orang, and gorilla— prodigies in strength, endurance, and longevity.

Cooking has rendered accessible to Man vast stores of food-material, which Man cannot digest in their raw state. But boiling heat destroys the albumen molecule— the building material for the body— which at the same time supplies the vital principle.

Cooked food is like a burnt granary containing a variable quantity of salvage concealed in useless debris. Cooked food is partly destroyed food, and can never regain its full feeding or life-giving value. A body fed on cooked food is a body starved with regard to real life-giving food, but over-filled with useless waste material.

E ve ry animal body is able to regularly remove the waste produced by its own w orkings; it pre­serves internal cleanliness which is necessary to a harmonious discharge of all its functions, i.e., to perfect health.

W hen surplus waste is introduced and the body cannot discharge it or burn it all off at once, our system must give the intruder lodging-room, and must find a modus vivendi under adverse circumstances.

T h e bodily functions must, to a certain extent, be hampered by this deposited w aste ; the working of the organs become irregular, and often painful; a state of chronic disease is created.

At times the body— stimulated by changes in temperature, or an extra surfeit, etc.— makes a

special effort to remove the foreign w a ste : this critical effort is called an acute disease.

There is but one great cause of d isease : in­ternal impurity. There is but one cure for disease : the removal of internal dirt.

The waste matter is either carried aw ay in the shape of increased discharges from the different excretory organs, the mucous membranes, the skin, etc., or it is burnt off through increased bodily heat, accompanied by fever, thirst, and want o f appetite.

The only rational assistance we can give Nature during these critical exertions at self-purification are a constant supply of fresh air (oxygen for the burning off), the free internal and external use of water and fruit juices as carrying and dissolving agents for the impurities, and total abstinence from solid food in order to give Nature a free hand.

All other attempts at curing disease are but an interference with Nature, especially the introduction of poisonous drugs, stimulants, alcohol, serums, lymphs, etc., and can do only harm by increasing and impeding the work of nature.

There is but one w ay of preventing d isease : to live in the open air and on our normal food, un­spoiled by artificial interference: on the sun-cooked fruits and seeds.

W hen the people, free from bloodshed in their daily meals, live on their natural food in its natural state ; when they keep their digestive organs free from irritating, biting, and fermenting artificialities,

25

and their blood free from poisonous waste matter derived from dead food, there will be no more need for the stim ulating and soothing fiend alcohol, who only waits the opportunity of a little careless­ness to destroy its unthinking victim ; and there will be no more need for prescriptions of drugs and poisons.

This book can be obtained tor distribution direct from The Order of the Golden Age a t the cost of Two Shillings per dozen, Twelve Shillings per hundred, post free.

All humane and philanthropic readers are invited to circulate it widely as a means of preventing human and sub-human suffering in the present and the future.

PR ESS O PIN IO N S—continued.

“ The author is Editor of The H era ld o f the Golden Age, and is perfect master of bis subject, and his aim is purely philanthropic, as the profits are devoted solely to the furtherance of the work of The Order of the Golden Age, and the gratuitous supply of its humane and educative literature to public institutions and reading-rooms throughout the English-speaking world. The book abounds in useful, and even essential, information. It tells how to avoid dyspepsia, gives valuable dietetic advice to travellers, and ample advice about both feeding and cooking.”—Christian Commonwealth.

“ Every humanitarian ought to be acquainted with this most excellent cookery-book—the best work of its kind, in our opinion, that has yet been published. The book is much more than a compilation of useful vegetarian recipes; it is, as its name implies, a real guide to the humanities of diet, and it is written with such sympathy and experience as to be—what few such works are—thoroughly readable and interesting. We beg all our readers who do not know the book to get a copy without delay.”— The H um anitarian .

"A Guide-Book that we heartily recommend to all who desire cleaner, more wholesome and simpler food. Many of our friends would fain abandon flesh meats, but know not the value of fruits, nuts and vegetables. The author comes to the assistance of the food-reformer and renders good service thereby. It is the best, most attractive, and most suitable work on the subject we have seen.”—Neva Age.

"This Guide-Book contains much that is worth knowing.”—Ardrossan Herald .

“ The Introductory Chapters of this Guide-Book are quite enlightening. The bulk of the book, however, consists of practical recipes for a simple style of living which is not only rational but pleasant and appetising—besides being humane. The whole deserves the attention of all who wish to make life worth living/'—H ite fo r d Times.

“ There is not a dull chapter in the whole book.”—Stir lin g Journal.

11 It is well written, and, as it is admitted on all hands that too much flesh is generally used, it deserves a wide circulation "— Christian Advocate.

“ The whole work is a valuable help in the correct understanding of the dieting of the human body. It is written with a freedom from ‘faddismi’—an evil that so often enters into and checks, in parasitical fashion, the growth of a new Movement. There is shrewd common-sense, a practical grasp of the subject, and a choice of only those arguments endorsed by scientific research.”— Torquay T im es .

"Food Reformers and those thinking of adopting a more humane diet would do well to obtain this book. It is full of useful information."— Montreal D aily Herald.
