o control our bodies with perfect
success by regulating their electric forces and adjusting their
energies.

As yet the main difficulty which obstructs our comprehension comes from
the seeming dissimilarity of things within and things without man's
"passing strange, complex mortality." This apparent lack of
co-ordination presumedly stands in direct contradiction to the
similarity of electrons.

But however similar electrons may be, they still have different
vibrations, which cause the differences between various
objects,--between colors, shapes and sounds, between positive and
negative conditions.

It is only by differences of vibration in this world substance, which we
may now venture to term electrons, that we are able to perceive a
difference in objects around us.

It is a matter of primary interest that the organs of the body should
differ in this way; for in them are electrons with their inherent
electro-magnetic properties, upon which the whole bodily machinery
depends.

Within our bodies positive currents of energy flow from above downward;
for manifestly the remainder of the body is governed by the head.

The electrons of the head must consequently be arranged as in a
magnet--the positive pole above, the negative below--and they must be
always connected with their opposite pole, because the strength and the
nature of a magnet depend entirely upon such connection. Thus our heads,
under normal conditions, are cool, and our feet warm, so long as
positive electro-magnetic force flows from above downward.

In most men of the present day, on the contrary, a condition usually
exists the exact opposite of that common to normal healthy individuals.

A sense of well-being prevails in the body only so long as the
electrons are in sympathetic contact with their opposite poles, and,
because by this means they increase and extend their forces
reciprocally, there exists also throughout the entire body a feeling of
physical strength.

Life upon the earth is dependent, as we know, upon the power of the sun.
Positive electrical forces are displayed in sunlight, and we find that
the electrical forces of the soil furnish their complements. Electrical
power is manifested by both the earth and the sun--a fact unquestioned
by those acquainted with observations made in the field of
radio-activity.

As a third factor, absolutely essential, I may mention the ocean, which
I regard as the storage battery that distributes the
