cithin, the kind I use, is made from the yolks of fresh eggs. In this
composition I supply nutritive cell-food for generating lecithin in
exactly the same form in which it is found in a healthy, perfect
nerve-cell. It is absolutely digestible and assimilable, and is
triturated with the finest milk sugar.
(c). All morbid conditions caused by imperfect nerve-cells can be
regenerated through this composition as long as there is some foundation
left on which to work.
Under an endless variety of names--as a matter of fact, a big book
would not be sufficient to describe all so-called "nervous diseases"--it
can be readily seen in what a brainless way some "nerve specialists"
classify patients of this kind. Not knowing the constituents of the
nerve-cells, they still attempt to prescribe for neurasthenic patients.
The results are in accordance with such travesty of treatment. The
increase in the number of Insane Asylums gives, or should give, a true
picture of existing conditions. What is needed is a little more
knowledge of physiological chemistry, but as it is too much to expect of
the ordinary so-called "nerve specialist" to be familiar with this
science, we must per force be content with the prevailing condition,
that is, a condition characterized by ignorance of the most vital laws
of being.
But what reasonable ground of complaint, let me ask, have the people,
themselves, in this matter?
Of the appalling results of the prevailing medical system, recognized as
it is by the law of the land and supported and virtually endorsed by
the people's own will and prejudices, they themselves, though well
aware, are yet complacent. But, mark it well, not until independent
medicine shall be accorded reasonable recognition, a fair field and
general fair play, and the chance afforded to science outside the
"orthodox" medical clique to inaugurate some drastic measures of
urgently needed reform, not until then will it be possible to alter this
disastrous state of affairs--not until then will matters become less
unbearable to the individual and less discreditable to every one
concerned. _We can cure disease only by removing its cause; this is my
maxim and it is true for all time._
Much of neurasthenia is due to the degenerate times in which we are now
living. Causes must be removed in every line of life, political, social,
and economical, before normal physical and mental conditions can be
restored. Then neurasthenia, in all its fo
