manity's sore need, has been constrained to formulate, for
the benefit of those desirous to learn;--a means of enlightenment
suitable and accessible to all. For although, to quote from Goethe,
whose transcendent mind was almost omniscient in all mundane things:

"Allwissend bin ich nicht; doch viel ist mir bewusst."
(Omniscient am I not, though much I know.)

Yet "Unity is strength," and in conjunction with associated minds, such
knowledge as I have may amply suffice to save many a sad sufferer from
hereditary doom.

The scheme, or, to be more explicit, the Club, I purpose to inaugurate,
is fully expounded in detail in the succeeding pages.

THE DARE TO BE HEALTHY CLUB

All other things the mandate, "must", obey,
Man only has the power, "I will", to say.

(After Schiller.)

(M.B.)

Thoughtless and imitative, men follow custom, careless where it may
lead, and unconsciously imitate each other.

Strong harmful habits grow, which overcome the opposing will and fickle
fashion rules where common sense should reign.

Such instances are common to us all.

A combination opposed to such influences is the force we need and for
this purpose I propose to establish a Club for the study of the ways and
means of health.

THE DARE TO BE HEALTHY CLUB.

The Club will be comprised of those who desire to pursue a course of
Health Study by correspondence.

This combination will constitute the first and only Club of its kind in
the world.

It will unite in its membership a group of independent thinkers,
representative of all parts of the American Continent.

The purpose of the Club will be to teach the science of Regeneration--to
teach them to "dare to be healthy" according to the laws and teachings
of biology.

These teachings will consist of a two years' course in _Biology_,
dealing with its most important branches, in _Physiology_, _Anatomy_,
_Hygiene_, _Physiological Chemistry_, _Pathology_, according to
biological facts, and _Therapy_ in accordance with biological and
physical laws and precepts.

All methods of _natural healing_ will be explained in detail, including
diet, breathing exercises, and rest.

The comprehensive aim will be to inculcate the principles which govern
the process of perfect metabolism--that is to say, the changes of
nutritive matter within the body--as the means of bringing into being a
race endowed with health and beauty and therefore predestined to
happiness.
