HEALTH CAMPAIGN IN CITY

LECTURES BY MRS PRICE Maureen Morris Price, the International Health Lecturer, after a series of successful campaigns in the North and South Island, is opening up her lecturing campaign in Nelson commencing to-morrow night, and continuing for several weeks. She states that the attendance and support she received in Dunedin, Wellington, Invercargill. Wanganui, and Christchurch presages further successes here, owing to the fact that here there have been for about three years some hundreds of people living more or less on natural foods, and trying out drugless methods of healing. Mrs Price is crusading for a more popular conception of eating for health than that usually taught by vegetarians on the one hand, and on the other, by those who introduced with much emphasis both occult and psychological theories. She states she has a much ! more practical interpretation of food aid health than a mixing of calories and ■ metaphysics, and she claims that material substance and physical laws are the chief factors in disease, and mixing theological doctrines and spiritual messages of Buddha, Mahomet and Confucius with such prosaic substances as iron, calcium, iodine, sulphur, magnesia, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, causes bewildering confusion of thought and converts the sick person from a fundamental change in eating habits.

Mrs Price claims to have got well, and stayed well for twenty years by material methods and asserts she can demonstrate unique physical fitness at her advanced age. She considers that her philosophy of “Nice-eating to cure Disease” is just what a practical work-L-day requires. She contends man eats his colds, diabetes, arthritis, etc., and she invites all interested to attend her free lectures in the Methodist Hall. Hardy street, to-morrow night at 8 o’clock, with an open mind. Children will not be admitted.
