power.

Then mark the natural contrast between these mundane and solar
forces--the one of a nature warm and vibrating quickly, the other cold
and more slow of vibration.

From this we may infer that we have before us an electrical opposition,
a polarity; and assuredly the electrical forces of the earth are those
which are negative, since they vibrate more slowly and yield to control,
while those of the sun are, on the contrary, positive, since they
possess the higher capacity for vibration and dominate the electrical
forces of the earth.

We may assert, further, that the forces of the earth are electrical,
whilst those of the sun are magnetic. In support of this assertion the
proof may be advanced that a magnet can raise a heavier load after lying
in the sunlight; for the close affinity, between magnetism and sunlight
are, in this way incontestably demonstrated.

The interchange of these principles underlies all mundane activity and
existence, and upon its cessation life would wholly disappear from the
planet.

The various organs of the body, like everything else, fall under the
immediate influence of this interchange of polar forces. The same
electric or electro-magnetic opposition exists therein as are elsewhere
apparent in nature and, for evidence of the same we have not far to
seek.

The phenomena occurring in electrolysis--the science of chemical
decomposition by galvanic action--are well known.

When a current of electricity passes through a fluid capable of
decomposition the acids gather about the positive pole and the alkalies
about the negative pole. We thus detect the exercise of separate
activities on the part of the positive and negative electrical
forces,--their polarization,--when we notice that alkalies and acids
separate upon the application of electrical forces.

Similar conditions exist in our bodies.

They occur in the mucous and serous membranes; for the serous secretions
react acid, the mucous ones, alkaline.

The contrast, in anatomical structure, between the mucous and the serous
membranes is due to the fact that they line the various organs,
respectively, within and without. It also indicates an opposition in
their electro-magnetic forces.

These membranes cover, not only the large organs, but also the small
ones, to the smallest muscular fibres.

In this way an electro-magnetic contrast exists in every part of the
body, and it is this opposition Of forces which keeps the vital
