Excerpt from Facts and Fancies in Health Foods
In our struggle with disease, the organism needs just one thing to hold its own - more fighting power. But this power can be obtained and rendered available only through the reciprocal association with life itself, as furnished in terms of sun and air, of food and action, of moral principle and self-control. And, perhaps amongst them all, self-control is the most important, as without the moral discipline of self-governing power, permanent health is unobtainable. Adjustment of demand to needs, of indulgence to necessity, of activity to usefulness, under the directing influence of reasoning intelligence and individual self-mastery in relation to food and drink, to work and recreation, to duty and pleasure, - bring us the only guarantees for permanent health and beauty, of body and mind.
