第 57 頁 - The fact is, they do not know how_ to treat everything, and they never will. Our body is just a living machine. That is what it is made for, and that is its nature. Leave life to take care of itself, and it will fight its own battles a great deal better than if you paralyze its powers by weighting it with remedies. Our body is like a good watch, made to go a certain time ; out no watchmaker can open it : he can only treat it blindfold, and feeling his way. Our body is a living machine, neither more...
