When God created man, He has set up a mechanism
or apparatus within him, which if rightly
and scientifically
handled will make man immune to disease, prevent economic
failure and ward
off sorrow and agony of defeat and
frustration. we cannot find out and make use of this
If
mechanism within us, we shall be complete wrecks
in our
lives in every respect,
whether in physical well-being or
economic advantage. Disappointment and defeat
lead to
disease and despondency. The knowledge and application
of this secret science of Breathing is an insurance against
failure,disappointment, disease and misery and a guarantee
of success and happiness. Its application gives practical
and tangible results. You will be astonished at the
inexorable precision, surety and inevitability of the
results,
I shall only deal with this science as it applies to
every
day life from an intensely utilitarian point of view.
