WILL HEALTH REIGN IN A DISEASED BODY?
WISDOM TREADS NO PATH WITH FOLLEY.
The MIND is all there is! It feels, knows, moves, acts,
thinks, and sees.
The mind has supreme control of the body in sickness and in health. See the Rulings of Nature.
Habit is harder to serve than a king, its taxes are greater, they not only come yearly, but daily and hourly, on body mind and pocket. You are bound in her chains and must answer her calls.
The RULINGS OF NATURE we'll send you.
We'll give you the work of the brain.
Cast the glory of heaven about you,
And arise for your Works are inane,
You are dead said the scoffs of the stranger;
A laugh for the cynic and clown.
Go look; from the King to the granger,
See the slaves the Tobacco-leaf bound.

O'er the graves we have marched in the past time,
Still praying for dews of reform
While raining down showers of poison,
On those we should keep from its harm.
