placing a premium upon
unscrupulous imitations. For the present therefore, I prefer to have the
remedies prepared exclusively by accredited and absolutely reliable
chemists of first class local standing, in order that I may myself
assume the entire responsibility. In cases of illness, however, it is
always necessary to consult a biological-hygienic physician. The
Dech-Manna-Diet remedies, for the time being, will always be obtainable
on application to myself, to be administered in accordance with such
medical directions. I trust that very shortly when official and general
recognition will permit, I shall be enabled to entrust the detailed
prescriptions to a wider circle of practising physicians and chemists.
In order to illustrate how necessary it is to abstain from more detailed
description of my remedies, I will cite but one of several incidents
which happened to me in course of practice.
In the year 1905, I wrote a number of articles for the "Reliable Poultry
Journal" on the scientific feeding of chickens, and gave, amongst other
tables, two food-formulas of the mineral contents of _chicken food
rations_. (Both formulas were copyrighted). I gave the same gratis, for
private personal use. A certain "Chicken Specialist" from the Orange
River Colony, South Africa, first wrote a glowing article upon the
wonderful success he had secured with my prescriptions. Not satisfied
with this, however, he conceived a brilliant idea of great possibilities
of future income to be derived therefrom. He left South Africa and came
to America, the country of unlimited possibilities, and settled in Los
Angeles, California, where he floated a company, which sells my
copyrighted prescriptions for poultry feeding, to all and sundry as
specifics for all possible and impossible ailments. This ambitious
gentleman even went so far as to offer my labouriously earned
discoveries to the United States Government.--But further comment is
unnecessary!
This is but one of numerous instances of the kind some of which are
embodied in a little treatise I have published, free to my friends,
entitled "A Message to the Thinker."
Patients sometimes ask me what my methods have in common with
"Schuessler's Tissue Remedies."
I answer: Nothing--absolutely nothing, as the explanation will show.
Schuessler's therapy claims that the minerals are needful to build up
the system; but he only uses one trillionth part of a gram and
_imagines_ that the remaind
