Chapter IV: The Stomach and Intestines.
We ask the reader to carefully study the accompanying Diagram of
the Stomach and Intestines, for we shall have much to say regarding
them in this little book. The student who will take the trouble to refer to the
diagram will be able to understand the theories and practice referred to
herein, much better than will one who merely glances at it and passes it by
as uninteresting.
The majority of diseases may be traced back to troubles in the Stomach
and Intestines, and the student who wishes to have a fundamental idea
of the theory of cure of diseases, as well as the methods leading to such
cures, should pay much attention to this part of the human system before
he passes on to a consideration of other parts. It has been claimed that ninetenths
of the diseases and physical disorders afflicting the human race have
their rise and origin in this part of the system, and therefore it follows that
if one acquaints himself with the normal functions of these organs, he will
be able to construct for himself a working theory of treatment of conditions
arising from an abnormal functioning of the same organs. Therefore we beg
of you to read carefully the following brief description of the Stomach and
Intestines.
