and if you keep this idea in view, you will be able to apply the treatment
to the best advantage. As you will see as we proceed, the hands are used

properly, and making the organ strong, healthy, and active. I want it to do
its work properly, and you must see that it does so. You must see that it
digests the food properly, and nourishes the whole body. You must relieve
