Ancient confusion

Materialists contradict their own statements. Their belief in material laws and in penalties for their infrac- tion is the ancient error that there is fraternity between pain and pleasure, good and evil, God and Satan. This belief totters to its falling before the battle-axe of Science.

A case of convulsions, produced by indigestion, came under my observation. In her belief the woman had chronic liver-complaint, and was then suffering from a complication of symptoms connected with this belief. I cured her in a few minutes. One instant she spoke de-

spairingly of herself. The next minute she said, "My food is all digested, and I should like something more to eat."
