There is only one power to cure the body, and that is in every man.
Medicine only rouses this power. Disease is only the manifest struggle of that power to throw off the poison which has entered the body.
Although the power to overthrow poison may be roused by medicine, it may be more permanently roused by the force of thought.
Imagination must hold to the thought of health and strength in order that in case of illness the memory of the ideal of health may be roused and the particles re-arranged in the position into which they fell when healthy.
The tendency of the body is then to follow the brain.
