The CURSE of III Health!
Our peoples are under a CURSE! Overfed and undernourished,
the richest peoples on earth dre also the unhealthiest! BUT
WHY? WHY SHOULD Americans be SICK? What is the
underlying CAUSE for our worsening health problems?
M
ORE rhan half our population,
babies included, is suffering
from some type of chronic illness!
Nor only chat, but our national
health is dete1·ioratiu.g, 'lIJorsetl.i1J,gl nor
improving. As never before, our peoples
are sick.
Bur WHY?
Does it make any sense? With OUI
wonder drugs, our lauded advances in
medica1 science, our vast families of
pharmaceutical products within easy
reach, and our supposed conquests bf
rhe age-old scourges of ryphus and
scarlet fever-we are still SICKER than
ever before!
Other newer, and even more deadly
diseases now strike our peoples with
horrify ing regularity. The age of tbe
degen.erative disease has arrived!
There is a BASIC, UNDERLYING CAUSE
for sickness and disease. You need to
thoroughly understand what it is! Lase
momh, in the arcidc "The SEVEN LAWS
of Radianr Healrh;' Mr. Roderick C.
Meredith explained there are living
LAWS which regulate and produce good
healrh. He showed how rhe breaking of
the laws of your body produce sickness
and disease.

the seven laws to good health, and how

Is Ir Rea lly SERIOUS?
What about if? How many people do
,)'01t know, personal/"l with cheanic
diseases? Perhaps YOU have such an
ailment, or someone very close to you!
Almost NO ONE tOday seems to enjoy
really GOOD HEALTH! Instead, we seem
weak, lacking in power and drive, unable
to perform normally. We have various
;mall deformities, minor ailments, certain
allergies, and seasonal sicknesses of
all descriptions. If you wish to know

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS!
A N ational Curse
Our people are under a nation-wide
CURSE! We're cursed with poor eyesight,
poor hearing, bad reerh, and dozens of
"minor" ailmems. We suffer with kidney
trouble, hemorrhoids, constipation, liver
attacks and weak heans.
And that'j only the begi1Zn,ing!
As we have prided ourselves on the
conquering of the infectious type
diseases. a new and more insidious
enemy to health, the degenerative
diseases have begun claiming myriads
of lives!
Today, more tha" half tbe pop,dation
is suffering from chronic illness! Cancer
wipes our more chan 225,000 persons
a year. and doccors estimate that one
in three Americans will develop cancer
at some time before he dies! H eart
disease alone ki lls more rhan 817,000
persons annually and acCOunts for well
over 50% of (he deaths in the nation.
More than seven million Americans
suffer from arthritis and Other rheumatic
ailments, and OUt of the some 7,000,000
hospiral beds available in rhe Unired
States, more than half are occupied by
meneal patiems, with 250 thousand more
beds badly needed ro rake care of rhe
backlog of those with serious mental
illnesses. It is estimated tOday thar one
our of every ten living Americans will
have to spend at least a part of his life
in a mental institution!
Doctor W. Coda Marrin says, "Not
only does half (he population have some
form of chronic disease, but only 13%
of [he remainder are free from some type
of physical defecr."
Can you imagine it? The lists become
practically meaningless in the monotonous
rabies of the hundreds of thousands
who are suffering with all types
of diseases.
We are truly under a national cursel
IVe are the peoples identified in your
Bible as rhe "House of Israel!" The
United States and Grear Bri tain comprise
rhe chief tribes of Joseph, Ephriam
and Manasseh! (If you have yet seen
this amazing truth clearly proved j then
write for Mr. Armstrong's free booklet
"The United Scates and the British
Commonwealrh in Prophecy.")
Cemuries ago, Almighry God ser before
us the fight way CO live. resulting
in GOOD HEALTH, memal srabiliry and
every material blessing! Our forefathers
chose rhe wrong way.'
God said, "Bur it shall come to pass,
if you will nor hearken unto the voice
of the Eternal your God, to observe to
do all His commandments and his statures
which I command thee this day;
that all these curses shall come upon
thee, and overrake chee" (Dem. 28: 15).
True to form, because man in his
natural-minded carnal rebellion is hostile
to the laws and the regulations of God
on how h. ought to live (Rom. 8:7),
out ancient forefathers rebelled against
God!
Notice some of the Curses which
wete ro befall dur progeniw[s, and oh
this generation roday.
God rhundered, "Cursed shalt thou b.
i" the city. ." (Deur. 28:16). The
greae CURSE of Qur cicies is so monumental,
so hideously monstrous irt its
proporcions so as to be utcerly impossible
ro more than briefly describe in
this one article. The grafe, the corruption,
the terrifying rise of crime, the
unhappy, wretched, empey human beings
scrambling frantically in no particular
direction in the pursuit of "happiness,"
or hunched miserably in fronc of their
glaring television sets in our cities, is
a well-known factOr to all of us. But
our cities are also filled with terrifying
diseases, brought about by "cicy-type"
living!
Our packaged foods, our chemical
