Homoeopathic remedies, sometimes not containing a particle of medicine, are known to relieve the symptoms 398:18 of disease. What produces the change? It is the faith of the doctor and the patient, which reduces self-inflicted sufferings and produces a new effect 398:21 upon the body. In like manner destroy the illusion of pleasure in intoxication, and the desire for strong drink is gone. Appetite and disease reside in mortal mind, not 398:24 in matter. So also faith, cooperating with a belief in the healing effects of time and medication, will soothe fear and change 398:27 the belief of disease to a belief of health. Even a blind faith removes bodily ailments for a season, but hypnotism changes such ills into new and more difficult forms of dis- 398:30 ease. The Science of Mind must come to the rescue, to work a radical cure. Then we understand the process. The great fact remains that evil is not mind. Evil has 399:1 no power, no intelligence, for God is good, and therefore good is infinite, is All. Corporeal combinations 399:3 You say that certain material combinations produce disease; but if the material body causes disease, can matter cure what matter has caused? Mortal 399:6 mind prescribes the drug, and administers it. Mortal mind plans the exercise, and puts the body through certain motions. No gastric gas accumulates, not a se- 399:9 cretion nor combination can operate, apart from the action of mortal thought, /alias /mortal mind. Automatic mechanism So-called mortal mind sends its despatches over its 399:12 body, but this so-called mind is both the service and message of this telegraphy. Nerves are un- able to talk, and matter can return no an- 399:15 swer to immortal Mind. If Mind is the only actor, how can mechanism be automatic? Mortal mind perpetuates its own thought. It constructs a machine, manages it, 399:18 and then calls it material. A mill at work or the action of a water-wheel is but a derivative from, and continua- tion of, the primitive mortal mind. Without this force 399:21 the body is devoid of action, and this deadness shows that so-called mortal life is mortal mind, not matter. Mental strength Scientifically speaking, there is no mortal mind out of 399:24 which to make material beliefs, springing from illusion. This misnamed mind is not an entity. It is only a false sense of matter, since matter is not 399:27 sensible. The one Mind, God, contains no mortal opin- ions. All that is real is included in this immortal Mind. Confirmation in a parable
