Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fallacies of Christian Science In every age the Ego of thought has endeavored, not only to solve the mystery of life, but as well to understand its relationship with that power whom we call God. The author says: "Sickness has been fought for centuries by doctors using material remedies; but is there less sickness because of these practitioners?" She answers: "A vigorous ´No´ deducible from two facts - the longevity of the Antediluvians, and the rapid multiplication and increased violence of diseases since the flood." Mankind is affected by thousands of conditions now which were unknown in centuries past. Man has penetrated the uttermost parts of the earth in recent years and subjected himself to many exposures which have resulted in physical disorders. These in turn produce others until physicians are baffled in strenuous efforts to relieve human ills. But investigation goes on apace - conditions, symptoms, medicines applied and treatments resorted to - until out of the multiplied experiences a specific remedy is discovered. At one time small-pox was a scourge; there was no relief except immediate emigration; now, vaccination, isolation of patient and careful nursing, reduces mortality and the dread disease is stayed, often-times not affecting any except the single victim. The advancement of medical science and surgery has been marvelous. A profession which continually aims by every means at its command to prevent the spread of disease and thus limit the field of its own pecuniary profit, is entitled to the respect and confidence of mankind. Physicians have nothing whatever to do with the "multiplication and increased violence of diseases." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
