CAUSE OF DISEASE

"NOT DUE TO GERMS” MEDK’AI. MAN’S RELIEF Although Mime is the stated time at which medical men may apply for appointment as honorary physician to the Wanganui Hospital Board. Dr. Cine Williams told a reporter that he had no hesitation in breaking the rule and applying recently, as he was convinced that-' the sooner a different system of prevention, and treatment of patients was pill into operation the better. “1 have spent- hours writing to members' of the medical profession in all parts of New Zealand," he said, “for I have proved the effectiveness of this •system, and I am anxious to see it adopted everywhere. If is really very simple, so simple that it is generally overlooked. It is merely obeying the simplest laws. Disease is not caused by germs, as the medical profession have generally stated. 1 consider it is caused through impure blood, mainly due to faulty diet. No disease can live in a healthy blood stream. There are other causes'; wrong thinking perhaps covers the field. A healthy, happy mind, and spirit in tune with the Infinite —where no envy, greed and jealousy lias entrance —keep the body healthy, provided, of course, that simple, sensible diet laws are' followed. So many people eat too much arid the wrong things, and in the course of tiine they are bound to get isonneting wrong.” Dr. Williams claims that medicine and the knife do not cure the sickness and suffering of tho world, or get to the root of the trouble. “Lately.” he continued, “some 200 medical men in Great Britain hrolfe away from' the British Medical Association, and under Sir .Angus! FilzGeorge. formed a National llea'lfli League. ‘ They intend working along these lines. A few people have found onl these simple truths and preached 1 licni. but they have been pooh-poohed liv the doctors.

'“Tlie'cult is, however, spreading, and I confidently expect that within a short time the tremendous hospital expenditure of to-day will he a thing of the past, and our people will lie infinitely healthier and happier.”
