its different organs._
A new light has now dawned upon the subject most essential to the inauguration of a new and effective system of healing. The physiological chemist has at length discovered that the human body, and every organ of that body consists of a certain number of chemical elements, which appear in different parts in different aggregations. These aggregations, however, repeat themselves in the various parts or organs. It was thus finally discovered that there are _twelve different main aggregations of such elements_, which groups of equal elements we call _tissues_. Through this discovery we have arrived at the great truth that _it is not to the purpose, in healing, to turn attention to the various organs, but rather to the various tissues_. The influence which can be exercised on these tissues is exercised through the blood which nourishes all of them alike, and which has the wonderful capacity of carrying to each of them their necessary building and rebuilding, or regenerating materials,--_provided, of course, that these are, as they should be, present in the blood_. THE CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS. Research in physiological chemistry, has so far determined that there are sixteen definite and discernible elements--and a seventeenth is now |
