About This Book

The sermon contends that bodily habits, especially diet and alcohol, directly shape moral disposition by influencing temperament and spiritual receptivity. It argues for a reciprocal interaction between body and soul, combining scriptural interpretation, references to Christ’s healing, and practical examples to show how physical ailments can obstruct moral reform. The speaker urges that hygienic practices and attention to diet be treated as essential complements to spiritual discipline, criticizes reform movements that ignore bodily causes of vice, and offers anecdotal evidence that medical treatment can restore moral openness and aid religious instruction.

An Unsolicited Letter from a Prominent Physician of New York.

To The Health Food Company, 74 4th Avenue, New York.

Gentlemen:—

I should like to state to your Company the great success I have had in using your Gluten Suppositories, and the advisability of letting the medical profession generally know of this simple and efficacious remedy for constipation. I have prescribed these Suppositories almost daily in my practice this winter, and have often been astonished at the permanent results obtained. It seems that in great torpor of the rectum and descending colon it is especially useful.

I recollect a little girl in 52nd street, where the constipation was so great that very often—much against my will—I was forced to administer a dose of Castor Oil. Since the use of these Gluten Suppositories she has remained well—over six months. It does not cure all cases, but in all the instances where patients have given it a good, fair trial, some benefit has been derived.

You may utilize this endorsement if it will make this remedy more widely known among the profession.

Respectfully,

J. MONTFORT SCHLEY, M. D.,”
