t initiative, what prospect does the
future hold in store?

Pandemics, such as this, repeat themselves; and other forms of dread
disease are following the footsteps of mankind. Arterio sclerosis,
(hardening of the arteries), with its kindred complaints, for instance,
now threatens to become a standing feature of the race through ignorance
of the physiological functions of the nerves, their tissue exhaustion
and supply.

With such impending dangers are our men distressed; and yet there seems
but grudging, slight encouragement for those who seek to stay the
onslaught of the foe, by scientific measures of precaution and hygiene.

What the nation needs is now a practical and nation-wide awakening. Let
the people realize the danger of their risk; let them rally to the call
and loyally support those who thus offer them the safeguard of knowledge
as a refuge from the impending storm. Then will so-called "incurable
disease" be relegated to the limbo of the past and, among other
prophylactic means, this, my latest great discovery--the cause of
Influenza, its prevention and its cure, a discovery which must rank
amongst the great scientific achievements of the day--will mitigate the
force of epidemics on mankind. It should also give to the reader of this
little book a fair assurance of what immunity it is possible to secure
by careful study and practice of its truths and should prove to the
thinker the nucleus of a lesson which can nowhere be better learned than
in the teachings and the precepts of the Hygienic-Dietetic School.

"But to the hero, when his sword
Has won the battle for the free,
Thy voice sounds like a prophet's word
And in its hollow tones are heard
The thanks of millions yet to be"

FINIS.

Wide and unlimited as the field of biology and the hygienic-dietetic
method of healing is, I have in the foregoing pages tried to devise a
guide that will indicate the points that are most necessary to the
confidence of the patient, based upon knowledge.

If I have enlightened my readers sufficiently regarding the most modern
results of biological research, if I have succeeded in showing them the
ray of hope, in the midst of their suffering, that will give them
courage to live, and live as healthy human beings, I shall feel amply
rewarded for the hard work that had necessarily to be done before the
present pinnacle in the art of healing could be reached.

Let me repeat: this brochure is not design
