The following letter from a veteran hygienist refers to the family whose
history I have been relating.
MY DEAR DR. PAGE:
Your letter of February 13th, enclosing letters from Mr. and
Mrs. Hinde for us to read and to make extracts from for _The
Laws_, came duly to hand. I have read them with great interest,
for they do but add to my conviction that, as yet, the divinely
ordained mode of living for man on earth has received, in the
minds of so-called hygienists, small conception, and in the life
of the best of us comparatively poor illustration, and,
therefore, just such experience as these dear people are having
in their search for better methods of realizing, developing, and
making serviceable spiritual power are of great interest to me.
They always have been.
It has been a matter of great regret with me, that being an
incurably diseased man, and being shut up to the necessity of
working up, to the best degree possible for me, a revolution in
the thought and conduct of people at large, in matters
pertaining to their life on earth, I have not been able
physically nor circumstantially to carry out my life as I have
wanted to do. I have done some things, but always under
circumstances that endangered my available power to live and
work, while making such transitions as I was determined to make.
I have settled several principles which enter as constituent
elements into the philosophy of life of the human organism.
Among them I may mention two: One is, the changes from bad to
good, or from worse to better, can never be made
reconstructively, except under the policy which governs
construction. Now, as all growth of any living organism, or any
part of it, is, relatively speaking, slow, so all reparation of
any injured part in such organism relatively has to be slow.
Reconstruction, therefore, is slow if according to law. This of
itself speaks condemningly of the system of drug medication,
because everywhere do drug doctors seek to produce changes from
bad to good, or from worse to better, rapidly. This is
unphilosophical, and, therefore, can be, on the whole, only open
to criticism as being bad practice.
