o n be ing
the most ad–
vanced, en lightened, scientif–
ica ll y developed genera tion
that ever lived.
We suppose that we are now
on the doorstep of eradícatíng
síckness and dísease, due to the
míraculous advances of medica!
science. We suppose the great
advances in sani tary measures,
in t he new "wonder drugs," in
preventive serums, vaccines and
inoculations are bringing mod–
ern civilization into a state of
wonderful health.
We couldn't be more wrong!
Modern civilization is
not
bring–
ing health nor abolishing disease.
While the medica! profession works
to reduce TB, cancer and other d is–
eases, modern civilization is CREAT–
ING NEW DISEASES NEVER HEARD
OF A FEW GENERATIONS AGO. Sick–
ness and disease are on an acceler–
ating INCREASE!
WHY?
1 suppose many would ask: " But
isn't it
natural
to be sick? Are we
not made in such a way that we
simply have to become sick and
contract disease? And didn ' t God
raise up medica! science to combat
it? "
The a nswer is an EMPHATIC
NO!
Sickness and disease ar e NOT
natu ral! We were made to BE
WELL!
The Almighty God made the

human body so that-even though
composed of material substance
from the ground- its
normal con–
dition
is one of robust , invigorat–
ing, radiant GOOD HEALTH!
Sickness and disease are ABNOR–
MAL- they are the PENALTY Of
VIOLATION OF NATURAL LAWS.
They are PHYSJCAL
SIN!
One may break man-made civil
laws and not get caught. But when
you break Goo's LA
ws,
the penalty
is automatic!
And what does modern civi liza–
tion do about it?
lt- not God–
raised up medica! science to try to
deal witb the effect- ignoring the
CAUSE-attempting to remove tbe
PENALTY, which the Creator Goo
imposed for physical violations.
Treating the EFFECT, while ignor–
ing the CAUSE, is to
encourage
the
violation which CAUSES the sick–
ness; to encourage SIN! Only most
people never thought of it that
way.
But, one asks, hasn't medical
science made tremendous st rides
in
conquering diseases? Yes, but
while they are working on sorne
diseases, severa! times as many
NEW DISEASES appear in our
midst-{fiseases unheard of sorne
four generations ago! Diseases of
MODERN CIVILIZATION!
Among diseases of modern civili–
zation are d iabetes, cancer, heart
diseases, Bright's disease, kidney
diseases, acidosis, asthma, rheuma–
tism. There is a definite CAUSE for
these.
Look at young children pouring
out of schools today. Notice how
many are paJe, anemic, rou nd-
shouldered, more than balf of them
const ipated , wearing g lasses, hav–
ing bad teeth, d iseased tonsils.
How many today live in a home
where there is
nevera
cold or fever ,
no tooth troubles or poor eyes ight
or any of these diseases? Where
no
one
is ever s ick? Do you know of
any such home? You're arare per–
son if you do! All humanity
should
live in such
homes-could!-and
many, if not most,
wi/1
in the Goo–
ruled WORLD TOMORROW!
One of the greatest industries
today is the cosmetics industry–
selling mill ions of dollars (or equiv–
alent in other monetary standards)
in materials to
paint on
"natural"
facial color that has been ROBBED
from natural foods!
The very
first
trouble with our
deteriorating physical status is that
we take s ickness for granted! We
seem to assume sickness is natural
and necessary. We are in JGNO–
RANCE of the CAUSES. Moder n
society treats the RESULT, but
ignores
the CAUSE!
WHAT, then, are the specific
CAUSES?
One physician said to me, "We
doctors are kept so busy treating
sicknesses and diseases that we sim–
piy have no time to study and
research into the CAUSES."
But
sorne
of the most noted phy–
sicians and su rgeons have given
thought and s tudy into the CAUSES.
And leading doctors have said that
90
to
92
percent of all sickness and
disease results from FAULTY DIET!
Sorne of the them have said that
the average Western meal is a die–
tetic HORROR! Few people , it
