ABSTRACT
To preserve permanent good health, the state of the mind must be taken into consideration; and if afflicted with great perplexity or distress, the diet should be, in most constitutions, altered in quality and quantity. To preserve the organization through life, physically, mentally, and morally, in the best state of health, during its longest natural existence, it is necessary there should be. Man, being ignorant of the power, cannot, by forms, ceremonies, or words, do this power any good or harm; and it is only while he remains in a most ignorant and grossly irrational state of mind and feeling, that he can attempt in any manner to address it, in the language of gross inconsistency, not to say insanity. Unless our feelings are in a good or pleasant state towards our fellow-men, the organization is not in a natural condition to attain the best state of health.
