Page 19 - MD, voiced the same doctrine in these words: — "Every acute disease is the result of a cleansing and healing effort of Nature (p. 55) ... All acute diseases are uniform in their causes, their purpose, and, if conditions are favorable, uniform also in their progressive development ..." (Nature Cure, 20th Edition, 1922).

Page 154 - The new school does not feel itself under obligation to give any medicines whatever, while a generation ago not only could few physicians have held their practice unless they did, but few would have thought it safe or scientific. Of course, there are still many cases where the patient or the patient's friends must be humored by administering medicine or alleged medicine where it is not really needed, and indeed often where the buoyancy of mind which is the real curative agent, can only be created...
