It is with godly fear and much humility that I undertake the task of writing this book as I am in no sense of the word a writer. I am sending forth this book for the purpose of helping humanity and giving courage to those who may have thought their cases hopeless. My prayer is that God may make this book a blessing to many.

I wish to present the truth in a practical manner, to help the human family, and to prevent my fellow men from becoming slaves to erroneous ideas, so that mothers and fathers may better care for their families.

This book contains tried, safe, and inexpensive remedies for the prevention of disease and sickness, remedies which are the result of my own practical experience of nearly forty years.

Many recipes are given herein that are not found elsewhere. They are inexpensive and can be made in any home. They contain all the elements the system requires, are very palatable when properly prepared. Millions today who have very little food would be better able to keep body and soul together if they knew which foods to eat that really sustain life. There has been a growing demand for many years for a practical knowledge of non-poisonous herbs.

Actual facts and the true healing art is given in t6his book as handed down by physicians from Hippocrates, who was called "the father of medical literature," until 1541, when Hohemhein started the practice of using chemicals, and the idea that the human body could be purified chemically, as were the metals at Tyrol, where he worked after giving up his medical profession.

I wish to bring to the notice of the general public the untold blessings which our Heavenly Father has provided for all the world. It can be truly said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6. A lack of knowledge based on truth is accountable for much of the untold sufferings and miseries of humanity. The advice contained in this book if heeded, will save money, suffering, and often premature death.

From practical experience, I explain how to be in health, mentally and physical. No matter how many germs get into the body, if the blood stream is clean and the blood corpuscles are in a healthy condition, you will be safe. Everyone comes in contact with many kinds of germs, but these organisms will not harm you or cause sickness and death, unless they have a place in which to propagate themselves.

Many who violate the laws of health are ignorant of the relation of the laws of living (eating, drinking, and working) to their health. Until they have some kind of sickness or illness, they do not realize that their condition is caused by violating the laws of nature and health. If then they would resort to simple means, and follow the simple laws of health that they have been neglecting proper diet, use of pure water, fresh air, sunshine, rest, and nature's remedies, herbs, etc., nature would restore the body to its original health. Had nature been supplied with them all the time, the body would always be in good condition. When a course such as is outlined above is taken, patients will generally recover without being weakened.

There is a wonderful science in nature, in trees, herbs, roots, and flowers, which man has never yet fathomed.

All the science of ancient Egypt when it was in its glory, and the science of ancient Babylon when it was at its height, the wisdom of Solomon when he lived in obedience to God and the science and knowledge of this enlightened age as taught in the colleges and universities, does not equal the science in nature, and yet it is little understood by the most intelligent people.

God has provided a remedy for every disease that might afflict us. Satan cannot afflict anyone with any disease for which God has not provided a remedy. Our Creator foresaw the wretched condition of mankind in these days, and made provision in Nature for all the ills of man

If our scientists and medical colleges would put forth the same effort in finding the virtues int the "true remedies" as found in nature for the use of the human race, then poisonous drugs and chemicals would be eliminated and only these remedies that God has given for the "service of man" it would bring an untold blessing to the world.

In these distressing days, the use of a simple natural diet would prevent much suffering and save money. The most important subject for people to study, should be: How can we live our allotted time without suffering? God has surely made this possible.

REVOLUTIONIZE THE COMMON MANNER OF LIVING, EATING, AND DRINKING, AND YOU WILL HAVE A HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER PEOPLE.

Recently a Chicago firm advertised very extensively some little tablets, claiming that they contained all the elements needed by the body, and were prepared by scientifically combining foods. The most learned scientists who ever lived on this earth cannot separate natural foods and then combine them in a better manner than nature herself has prepared them.

The fundamental principle of true healing consists of a return to natural habits of living.

Coming back to God's original plan for maintaining health, restoring the sick, miraculous truths which have been covered up by commercial graft and tradition and neglect are being uncovered by honest men and women and brought to the front; miraculous things are in the Bible and Nature. The creator of this universe made man in the beginning out of the ground. The different properties which are found in the earth are found in man, and the fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables contain the same elements which are in the earth, and in man. When these fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are eaten in their natural state and not perverted and robbed of their life-giving properties in their preparation, health, beauty, and happiness will be the sure reward. The scripture which says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge," is surely being fulfilled. But our loving heavenly Father is looking down and he, seeing the untold suffering and wretchedness, has made provision that the use of these things which He has provided will surely bring relief. Read, in this book, of the wonderful life-giving properties in fruit, if properly eaten, and not combined with other foods, the combination of which caused fermentation and other disturbances and thus destroys their life-giving properties.
