Efficacy of truth

When numbers have been divided according to a fixed rule, the quotient is not more unquestionable than the scientific tests I have made of the effects of truth upon the sick. The counter fact rela- tive to any disease is required to cure it. The utterance of truth is designed to rebuke and destroy error. Why should truth not be efficient in sickness, which is solely the result of inharmony?

Spiritual draughts heal, while material lotions interfere with truth, even as ritualism and creed hamper spirit- uality. If we trust matter, we distrust Spirit.
