mental and emotional disturbances in the same departments of being, and in either case the sufferer should at once hasten to change the abnormal action, by methods already indicated in these pages. Any one can carry on these testings, or take a four-ounce vial of the urine and send it to almost any chemist, and thus ascertain the real state of affairs underlying external symptoms or internal trouble. Since I began to make analyses I have but little cessation of labor.
But there is another phase of this grand subject, and different points of view, to some of which we will now briefly call attention: —
That soul, spirit, and body are, in this life, closely related and interdependent, is a truth which, although denied by unreasoning zealots, is so plain and clear, under the strong light that starry science has thrown upon the subject, that none but semi-idiots can possibly disaffirm.
I now announce another startling truth, believing, most solemnly believing, as I do, that moral, social, domestic, and intellectual health cannot possibly exist unless the human body is also in a free, full, pure state of normal health likewise. I have not the slightest doubt but that the bodily states here affect the immortal soul hereafter, and that the sin against one's self is, in its ulterior effects, the most terrible that man can imagine. Elsewhere I have defined it, and also announced the discovery of two other very important truths, namely, that nine-tenths of all the "crime," "sin," and "iniquity" committed on the globe, and especially within the pale of so-called "civilization" is wholly, solely, and entirely the result or effect of chemical, electrical, and magnetic conditions; and that if those who commit them were under the influence of an opposite state of things, quite opposite results and conduct would be the rule, and not the exception!

Who is there that does not know that drunkenness is a mere chemical condition; that the effect of sudden ill-news turns one sick at the stomach; that disappointment hardens the liver; that fear relaxes the bowels; that grief unstrings the
